About
I'm proud to be an Arizona native. I grew up in Central Phoenix and attended Phoenix Christian High School. From there I headed to Tucson to study at the University of Arizona, where I earned my undergraduate degrees. I stayed at UA for law school, where I had the opportunity to work with the Volunteer Lawyers Program on Family Law matters. I also worked as an intern for Southern Arizona Legal Aid's Public Benefits Clinic and served as a law clerk for both the University of Arizona Office of General Counsel and the Pima County Superior Court.Following law school, I returned to Phoenix and began work as a defense attorney. I successfully represented hundreds of clients at all stages of litigation, from initial pleadings to jury trials. During my years as a defense attorney I spent many hours in the Courtroom and honed my skills as a client advocate. I am glad to put my experience to use for YOU. Since opening my own practice in 2012, my focus has been on Family Law, with an emphasis on Legal Decision-Making (Custody), Parenting Time, and Child Support. I regularly provide free, personalized legal advice on the AVVO legal community. Clients are people not paychecks. I run the firm as a family business and our firm will treat YOU like family. Every client is different and representation is tailored to suit your individual needs. Whether you need full representation or just someone to coach you along the way, we are here to help. Please call or email today to set up a meeting.

I've had 3 lawyers since I got divorced 10 years ago and this is the first one who actually did what she said and said what she did. I'll admit, it was a rocky road at first. Kristen is relaxed and hard to rattle, and that was new to me. She helped calm me down when things got dramatic and asked me to be patient with ththe process, and I'm glad I did. Before trial she explained exactly what to expect and when we went to trial she was calm, organized and assertive. Our ruling was in my favor and almost exactly what she predicted it would be. hopefully we don't go back to court again but if we do I'll call her in a heartbeat.
Choosing a good family lawyer is the difference between being able to be with my children or not. I was lucky enough to find what I feel is the best family lawyer in Arizona. Kristen truly cares about what is right and wrong and proves that in her work. I am also very pleased with the fact that she does a lot of her own work and doesn't rely on a paralegal, so she's always up to date on the proceedings. She is just a very genuine person that happens to be great with her job as well.. To all father's or mothers going through what I've been through Kristen is hands down the best at what she does. sincerely, Paul
When I hired Kristen I was a wreck, scared I was going to lose my kids. She listened to me throughout the process and was very reassuring. She was thorough and fair in representing me and always worked to fix things instead of creating more conflict with me and my ex. Thanks to her we settled without having to go to a trial and I was happy with the terms we agreed to. Since then my ex and I have had a few issues and Kristen has always been willing to take her time and talk to me about how to best resolve the situation. She wasn't just a great lawyer, she was a great teacher too, and I learned a lot from her about how to get past my anxiety and co-parent with my ex.
Kristian is amazing. Not only smart but truthful. She isnt money hungry like all other atttorneys. Kristian cares about her clients and not just money. She helped getting our child support from almost $800 to half. She went above and beyond and fought hard for us. We never heard her say anything negative she always had high spirits for us and said everything will be ok. Sure enough everything is ok.
Kristen is a very caring, compassionate woman who really works hard for me. She is honest and gives her opinion of the pros and cons of my case. I would recommend her to friends.
I was very pleased with Mrs. Dewitt-Lopez’s services. I always received answers to my questions in a way that allowed non-legal persons to understand. I appreciate this attorney’s detail and attention to our matter. This attorney realizes how much these legal matters affect our personal lives. This attorney was very accommodating and focused on our needs as a unique case. If needed, I look forward to working with this firm in the future.
Kristen did a great job representing me to get me more parenting time with my children. I had been trying to do it all myself prior to retaining her as counsel and I know if I had continued down that road I never would have gotten the settlement I did. Her expertise was invaluable. Thanks Kristen!!
Kristen did a Power of Attorney for my family regarding my mom. She was a pleasure to work with. She is very caring and conscientious to get all the right information the first time, and she got our documents done very quickly and accurately. I would use Kristen again for any legal issues and legal documents that me or my family need in the future. I highly recommend Kristen!
Always there for you at the drop of a hat! Very knowledgable! She really knows her stuff! I would highly recommend. Very reasonably priced as well! 5 ***** A++++++++++++
