I engaged Owens & Perkins in a very contentious and unanticipated custody case. Ultimately I prevailed obtaining the custody rights I was seeking. The entire court proceeding lasted a year. When one’s kids are involved it is difficult to be objective and I’ve taken a little time before writing this to attempt to put the process into perspective. My attorney was very sharp and able from the onset to understand the key issues upon which the case hinged. I was very impressed that, over the course of a year, she had complete command of the facts regarding the case background, was on top of all motions and filings and was responsive to the directions I wanted to take our argument. I can’t think of a time when I had to refresh her memory over the many months on a critical point in the case. I was appreciative of the fact that as the case approached its conclusion, entering arbitration, my attorney respected and supported the fact that I was absolutely unwilling to compromise in my pursuit of equal custody rights. Even in the face of opportunities to settle for something a little less than half, she understood and supported my goal of equal time with my kids. I was also happy with the level of assertiveness she demonstrated in court and in interactions with opposing counsel. It would have been very easy to rely solely on a defensive strategy in a case like mine. But throughout the proceedings I felt we argued from a position of strength and took the opportunities to be aggressive and assertive where necessary. Since you never know how a judge is going to rule, even hindsight is not 20/20 in a case like this. But looking back over a year in court the one thing that still concerns me is whether we missed an opportunity early on to argue a better temporary custody arrangement during the proceedings. For those of you entering a divorce/custody case this is not a small issue. What happens to the kids for the year or more while the case is decided can have a huge impact on you and the family. I do wish we had been more aggressive at the initial hearing to ensure my rights as a parent were preserved throughout the process and not just at the conclusion. Ultimately I won on the points that mattered to me and you really can’t place a price on that. I would recommend Owens and Perkins to anyone going through a complex and contentious divorce if children are involved. I will always think of this firm as the people who helped me preserve my relationship with my kids.

Join Review: Aarti Bhaga and Michelle Perkins My experience with Owens and Perkins was a very hands on approach with leadership, guidance and mentorship provided by Michelle during my lengthy, complex and anxiety-ridden case. I was working with another Attorney at the firm, who was WONDERFUL, but it was always nice to know that Michelle, with her vast knowledge of the law and understanding of the extreme complexities and intricacies that arose in my case, she was always available, if I needed her. Michelle was a large part of my relationship with firm and I appreciated knowing that her experience was accessible to me, should the need arise. She was always down to earth and she advised without judgment, which was very important as I was a stay-at-home Mom leaving a 24 year marriage with very limited understanding of finances. Michelle and the firm made sure that I understood everything and I will be eternally grateful for the compassion, honesty and leadership Michelle provided. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! EXTREMELY EFFICIENT, COMPASSIONATE AND KNOWLEDGABLE ATTORNEY 5.0 stars Posted by P.H. January 4, 2016 Hired attorney I was previously represented by an Attorney with many, many more years of experience than Aarti. With my first lawyer, I was not a person, I was just a number to him. When I was recommended to Aarti, I was impressed with her competence, her knowledge, her compassion and her overall understanding of my very complex divorce case coming out of a 24 year marriage as a full time homemaker without any understanding of finances, our assets and debts. Aarti was skillful in leading me through the process and getting me to understand my situation and my possible outcomes. She gave me all of the information I needed to r to make an informed decision on how I wanted to proceed with my new life. Her quick ability to understand me as a person and how to communicate with who I am was such a relief. She actually heard my voice, when before, I was simply ignored. I cannot thank Aarti enough for her excellent representation and guidance through this extraordinarily difficult time in my life. And - to also thank for her always being able to give me the true hard facts when I needed to "cowboy up"!!! I highly recommend Aarti without reservation and she will always be my first phone call with any legal issues. She is a rising star in the legal community.

I have had the joy of working with Owens & Perkins for over 15 years. It is unusual to say you have "joy" in working with most law firms, but every interaction with O&P has been productive, on point, professional, effective and reasonably stress free. (The reasonably part is because you are dealing with the people who have caused you to seek legal advice and they are often not stress free). Michelle Perkins has a way of reassuring you that everything will be alright (at some point), but what I love the most is that she is always honest with you about the potential outcomes. She explains the options clearly, gives you best and worse case scenarios and then she or one of the other members of the firm wades into the morass or legal issue at hand. We have used her for wills and trusts, probate, real estate transactions, powers of attorney and a variety of other smaller matters. When faced with a situation that requires legal representation, I always know that Michelle has my back and my best interests at heart. In addition, all of the support personnel at O&P are friendly and know how to take care of clients. Where else can you go and be well treated, have your legal needs met and perhaps get a piece of candy to go with it? Please do yourself a favor if you are in need of legal advice and give Owens and Perkins a call, you will be happy you did.

My experience with O&P began approximately 15 years ago with my divorce. O&P has since handled my numerous post divorce issues, as well as trust and will, and probate matters. My cases were usually complex and contested. At times, I thought I would see victory "when pigs fly." However, the attorneys at O&P were always supportive and never gave up on my situation. Through diligent, honest, and aggressive representation, they were able to protect my interests at every turn. And ultimately, they turned those bleak cases into victorious cases. At the same time, the attorneys at O&P also made me feel important, validated and NOT alone. It is such a relief to know I have strong and capable advocates in them! I believe they take pride in their work, because they realize how their work impacts lives. I have a little ceramic flying pig on my kitchen window sill. Every time I see it, I am reminded of one probate case in particular that O&P successfully handled for me. I am forever grateful. I cannot say enough positive things about O&P, and highly recommend this law firm.

Having to deal with legal matters is never pleasant. Legal issues can be nerve racking, frustrating and time consuming. I was fortunate enough to find Owens and Perkins and Associates who subsequently made the whole matter a lot easier to get through. Their concern, professionalism and subject matter knowledge impressed me the very first time I met with them. I was further impressed with how they conducted them selves in the court room, from my laymen’s perspective it seemed that the judges paid more attention and gave more weight to Owens and Perkins arguments than they did the opposing counsel do to their knowledge of court room protocol and their professionalism that they exhibited. I now go to Owens and Perkins for all my legal matters, big and small, knowing that they will be resolved in a timely, proper and far manner. In conclusion if you want peace of mind, call Owens and Perkins………today!

My mother and myself have been utilizing the services of Owens & Perkins for more than several years, first with C.D. Owens and most recently with Ms. Michelle Perkins. My mother had the firm draw up her will/estate planning in such a way when it came time to exercise same I found myself completely free of encumberances and was allowed to continue with the grieving process, at a time when my family needed the aforementioned period for reflection and not worry about such legalities that are always associated with a matters such as these. Ms. Perkins reviewed the documentation with me in such a way that even I, with limited exposure to such matters, found it straight forward and found my mothers wishes were covered exactly as she would have wanted them. I wish to thank this firm for their exacting care, time and consideration and whole heartily recommend their services to all who need and seek same.

I always look forward to any appointment I have with this firm because you know that what every the situation is they grasp it and understand it. No matter the situation they confer to you the feeling that all is well. They tell you what you need to do and put things in to action. If every you have a true family problem and you turn the situation over to O&P you will rest assured that all will turn out the best it can. They are always just a phone call away once you have established your relationship with them. You can always know things are under control. I have always enthusiastically referred friend to O&P.

I have only high marks for Michelle Perkins of Owens & Perkins and can not recommend her and her team enough. Michelle is professional, responsive, and with her guidance we were able to navigate the complicated probate process in a timely manner. We recently went through a very difficult probate in another state, when we suddenly found ourselves involved in another probate in AZ. Based on previous experience we were prepared to deal with another complicated lengthy legal process. Michelle made things easier by moving things along in a timely manner, presenting us with straight forward answers, and recommending additional services where needed to take care of real estate transactions, estate sales, etc. Overall we found her expertise and advice invaluable. I would not hesitate to hire Owens & Perkins again or recommend them to others.

Brian Winter..."the Best Of The Best" I was a client of Brian when I filed for divorce in Connecticut. This also included custody issues and even more complicated as I also have my son with special needs. I have dealt with many attorneys both professionally and personally and Brian is the "Best Of The Best".He is knowledgeable on all subjects. He is truly empathetic (not pretend), honest, professional, and does whats right for the client as well as all parties involved.... he has true moral character. With that being said ; Brian is excellent in deliberation as well. He completes his job in a timely manner and with just the right balance of humor and professionalism. I consider him a role model to attorneys in general. Im sorry to see he moved to Arizona but Owens & Perkins have landed the best!

My wife and I first retained C.D. Owens 30 years ago to assist with our business affairs. Throughout this time he has always been there for us on both a professional and personal level. When my wife passed away, a trusted member was given control over my assets. Unfortunately, she embezzled a great deal of money and misappropriated my property. I was a wreck. I thought I had lost the financial ability to care for myself. C.D. immediately jumped in and regained control of my assets. What a gift it is to have C.D. there to protect my life and treasure allowing me to have the peace of mind so needed at my age. A tribute to a great man who saved my life, my health and my business. I shall be ever grateful.
