About

I grew up in a military family and, like most, was stationed at various bases throughout the country and overseas before finally settling in Arizona.  I stayed close to home and attended the University of Arizona for my undergraduate studies, before venturing out to California for law school, where I graduated from the University of San Diego School of Law in 2003. Shortly thereafter, I moved back to Arizona, and began my legal career and gained valuable courtroom experience as a juvenile public defender.In 2010 I transitioned into private practice, and since then I've focused my practice almost exclusively on family law, divorce and child custody issues.  I like to think I bring a reasoned and compassionate approach to my cases, and understand the emotional stress often involved in family matters. With over a decade of combined experience as a litigator, I'm also well equipped to handle contentious disputes when necessary. When I'm not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, running and hiking.  I'm also an avid sports fan – especially when it comes to my favorite teams, the San Francisco 49ers, San Francisco Giants, San Antonio Spurs, and the University of Arizona football and basketball teams (“Bear Down”). When time allows, I also try to give back to the community by volunteering my time with Wills for Heroes and the Family Law Assistance Program.

Michael was a god-send through a very turbulent divorce. He has a keen attention to detail and knows what he’s doing. We cannot thank him enough for working so diligently and calmly throughout the entire situation. He fought for us and for that, we are forever grateful.

Mr. Lincoln handled both my divorce & follow up custody/support hearings. I always received a quick response to any questions I had & his guidance was always spot on.

Michael, was very kind and understanding to my needs. He listen to every thing I had to say, which I thought was a lot. Then he explained to me what may or could happen, with my requests. So I would not get blind sided and start to worry. I was very proud to have him as my lawyer. God Bless him.

My divorce was an emotional, life changing event for myself and my children. Michael Lincoln helped me navigate the entire divorce process. He was an advocate for myself and my children at a time when I truly needed someone to be.

From the start Michael was impressive, he represented me in a divorce and custody case. We won every challenge that came across my divorce and child custody. I highly recommend Michael Lincoln.

I had never expected to be put in such a life altering situation as going through a divorce and having my children endure the difficulties that went a long with the proceedings as we negotiated through the divorce process. Michael came highly recommended through colleagues who went through a divorce and were satisfied with their end results. Michael was very professional and courtesy and listened to my concerns in regard to my children and what was fair and just for me and my children. The proceedings took a lot longer than I anticipated but satisfied with the end results of the divorce.

I hired Mr. Lincoln to see me through divorce proceedings. Mr. Lincoln heard me and reviewed what my ex-wife wanted when she filled. She wanted everything. Mr. Lincoln quickly put my mind at ease and helped me get through a very tough, and frustrating period. Mr. Lincoln was level headed, even when I wasn't, and took care of everything. All I needed to do was follow his instructions and now I am able to live, and breath again. Thank you very much Mr. Lincoln. William Allen

Mr. Lincoln is an attorney, who is willing to go to bat to his client. He and his staff are professional and courteous and kept me updated on my case. I was very please with the outcome of my criminal traffic case. I hope I never need to, but I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Lincoln again. Thank you!

I can't imagine a more professional, more qualified, more personable attorney than you were while representing me during a very difficult time. I'm forever grateful to you and your amazing team! 5 stars just isn't enough to show my full gratitude.

Michael helped me navigate through a difficult time in my life. My circumstances were something I never thought I'd ever personally experience, but from our first meeting, Michael put my mind at ease. He took over and let me focus on healing my family.
