Santiago | July 3, 2020
The experience and information that was given to me was of great value. Very professional and with a personal touch. I greatly appreciate all their help. Thank you
John Law | July 3, 2020
Ryan did a good job especially considering I didn't have an attorney most of my divorce. I would recommend him, but get him onboard at the beginning not the end.
Dan Palmer | July 3, 2020
Simply put, Ryan is outstanding! ! I’ve used his services exclusively for the last 6+ years on multiple custody and visitation cases. After having gone through three less than transparent attorneys before Ryan, it was incredibly refreshing when I found him. He’s courteous, responsive and the utmost professional. Best of all, I feel that I can trust his advice explicitly. A true rarity in this industry! Bottom line: I wouldn’t consider even having a conversation with another attorney!
Catherine Dolan | July 3, 2020
Thank you Jon for helping me with my case and making me feel comfortable during the proceedings. I appreciate the guidance you provided and legal recommendations so that I could result in the best possible outcome for my situation. I would have been very lost without your help!
Hannah Ridinger | July 3, 2020
I could not be happier with The Valley Law Group. My case was handled effectively and efficiently. I am very grateful for Cory Keith and the rest of the group. Thank you!

    No. The Valley Law Group offers a free initial 30-minute consultation for prospective clients.

  • Do I need to bring anything to my consultation?

    Feel free to bring any documents that you would like us to review during your consultation. This can include legal documents filed with the Court, documents you were served with, or documents sent by the Court.

  • How much does it cost to hire an attorney at The Valley Law Group?

    The Valley Law Group prides itself on offering exemplary legal representation that is affordable. In many cases, The Valley Law Group can tailor a custom approach to your legal matter in order to work with most budgets. At your initial consultation, the consulting attorney will need to get a feel for the issues involved in your case, the complexity of your case, the exigency of the issues, what documents need to be filed, what hearings have been scheduled, etc. before providing you with a quote to retain the firm.

  • Does The Valley Law Group have payment plans?

    The Valley Law Group does offer payment plans on a case-by-case basis. An attorney will need to discuss in detail with you the issues involved in your case, the complexity of your case, the timing of your hearings, what documents need to be filed with the Court, etc. to determine if a payment plan can be offered for your particular case.

  • How long will it take to resolve my legal matter?

    Unfortunately, there is no accurate answer to this question. As with any legal matter, the length of your case will depend on a myriad of issues. However, rest assured that The Valley Law Group will work diligently to resolve the issues involved in your case.

  • Do you guarantee results in my case?

    No. No attorney or law firm can guarantee a specific outcome in any legal matter. In fact, it is an ethical violation for an attorney to say so. Nonetheless, there is a reason we are one of the highest-rated family law firms in the Phoenix area. We are results-oriented and have helped thousands of clients all over the state of Arizona secure favorable outcomes in their court cases.

Haylee Bowlin
Attorney

Mrs. Bowlin believes that anyone who has had to engage with the family court process can all agree on the fact that the process is anything but fast and can be emotionally and financially exhausting. As such, Mrs. Bowlin gives each of her client’s her word that she will provide the same representation that she would expect to receive. For some attorneys, this job is a means to an end; a way to earn an income. For Mrs. Bowlin, however, this job is her life. Having witnessed her parents’ tumultuous relationship and dastardly custody battle at the age of five, she promised herself then that she would do anything in her power to ensure a parent’s rights are fought for and defended. She understands that if you are looking for a family law attorney, chances are, you are having one of the worst days of your life. The only thing that could make it worse is having an attorney that could not care less about his or her job. Nothing is more frustrating to Mrs. Bowlin than those that do not take pride in the work they do. As a client of Mrs. Bowlin’s, you will never be left wondering what to expect next in the process or be surprised by a court’s temporary or final order. Mrs. Bowlin will never promise you a particular outcome in your case but will explain the range of possible outcomes you could expect if your case went to trial. Further, she will always fight for her client’s positions. Finally, Mrs. Bowlin deeply understands the concepts of domestic violence, mental health, and substance abuse disorders, and how these concepts intersect with family law and impact an individual’s request for decision making or parenting time.

Mrs. Bowlin was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. Prior to graduating from high school, she obtained her certificate to work as a Certified Nursing Assistant while she obtained her Associates Degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice. Prior to being accepted into law school, Mrs. Bowlin graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Criminology and Criminal Justice from Arizona State University while working as a Veterinary Technician. Mrs. Bowlin graduated with a Juris Doctor from the University of North Dakota in 2019.

Mrs. Bowlin began her law career with a small family law firm in Tempe, Arizona soon after passing the Arizona bar exam and obtaining her license in 2019. While in this role, Mrs. Bowlin learned the intricacies of the family law system as she was able to focus solely on family law and was able to work with clients throughout every county within the State of Arizona. She has had clients from all walks of life with a wide arrange of legal issues and is confident that she would provide you with unparalleled legal services.
