DM Cantor Family Law Practice

DM Cantor Family Law Practice, headquartered in Phoenix with Glendale office serving the northwest Phoenix area, represents one of Arizona's premier family law firms. Founded over 25 years ago as a companion law firm to the established DM Cantor Criminal Law Practice, the family law practice has evolved into a sophisticated, specialized firm exclusively focused on family law matters. The firm's concentration of expertise is extraordinary. DM Cantor Family Law Practice has five Board-Certified Family Law Specialists on staff—an exceptional concentration of specialized expertise. To put this in perspective, as of the start of 2026, the State Bar of Arizona Board of Legal Specialization lists only 75 certified family law specialists in the entire state of Arizona. This means approximately 3 out of every 1,000 lawyers in Arizona are board-certified specialists in family law. The fact that DM Cantor Family Law Practice has five such specialists demonstrates extraordinary concentration of expertise and commitment to hiring only the most qualified practitioners. The firm's exclusive focus on family law ensures attorneys stay intimately familiar with statutory changes, evolving case law, and sophisticated strategic approaches. By focusing exclusively on family law rather than dividing attention among multiple practice areas, the firm can understand the types of issues that might arise and work to prevent them from negatively impacting clients' cases. The firm is recognized as one of the top family law practices in Arizona, reflecting both the quality of their work and their reputation in the legal community. David M. Cantor, the founding attorney, brings both criminal law expertise and sophisticated business development skills to the family law practice. His background in criminal law actually strengthens family law representation in cases involving domestic violence or criminal conduct between spouses. The firm's service area spans the entire Phoenix metropolitan area, including Phoenix, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Goodyear, Mesa, Peoria, Scottsdale, Tempe, and throughout Arizona. The Glendale office ensures accessibility to clients in the west Phoenix area. The firm's practice encompasses the complete spectrum of family law services. Divorce representation ranges from simple uncontested separations to extraordinarily complex high-net-worth divorces involving substantial assets, business interests, and complex financial matters. The firm's sophistication in handling high-net-worth divorces ensures clients with significant assets receive representation adequate to the complexity of their situations. Child custody matters receive meticulous attention. The firm handles initial custody determinations and modifications as circumstances change. Particularly complex custody matters such as relocation cases (where one parent seeks to move a child to another state) and parental alienation situations receive specialized attention. Child support and spousal maintenance are calculated according to Arizona law while accounting for unique circumstances that might justify variation from guidelines. Property division in complex divorces requires sophisticated financial analysis and valuation expertise. The firm handles these matters with the strategic precision necessary to protect clients' interests when substantial assets are at issue. The firm's team of six attorneys ensures clients receive attention from specialists rather than generalists. With one Board-Certified Criminal Law Specialist in addition to five family law specialists, the firm can address the intersection of family law and criminal matters when necessary. Free initial consultations are available by calling (602) 254-8880 or completing the online form. For Arizona families facing divorce and family law matters—whether straightforward or extraordinarily complex—DM Cantor Family Law Practice represents an exceptional choice combining exclusive family law focus, extraordinary concentration of board-certified specialists, and sophisticated expertise in handling complex matters.
