AREAS OF REPRESENTATION
What We Handle
Family law is all we do. Here are the core matters our partners personally manage with precision and discretion.
Divorce & Legal Separation
Contested and uncontested. We'll tell you at the case review which one you're realistically looking at.
Child Custody & Parenting Time
Establishing, defending, and enforcing legal decision-making and parenting schedules in Arizona courts.
Child & Spousal Support
Calculating what the guidelines actually produce, and challenging figures built on incomplete income disclosure.
Property & Business Division
Homes, retirement accounts, business interests, deferred compensation, and the debts nobody wants to claim.
Post-Decree Modifications
Circumstances change. Relocations, income shifts, and parenting schedules that stopped working.
Paternity & Unmarried Parents
Establishing legal rights and parenting time when there was never a marriage.
Unsure which category matches your specific situation?

CLEAR & TRANSPARENT SEQUENCE
Our Process
No mystery, no surprise invoices. Here is how your matter moves from your first
conversation to a conclusive resolution.
The Free Case Review
(30 minutes)
You tell us what's happening. We tell you where you stand, what it's likely to cost, and whether you need us at all. No charge, no obligation.
O
Your Plan & Estimate
(Within 48 hours)
If we're a fit, you get a written strategy, an estimated cost range, and an engagement agreement. You decide with real numbers in
front of you.
O
Filing & Negotiation
(Active Advocacy)
We handle the filings, the disclosures, and the negotiation. You get an itemized statement monthly and a status update whenever
something moves.
O
Final Resolution
(Decree in Hand)
Settlement or trial, we take it to a signed order and walk you through what your obligations look like afterward.
INITIAL STRATEGY SESSION
What We Cover In 30 Minutes
Where you stand right now.
Custody, property, and support in plain English, not legal jargon.
The 3 decisions that matter most in the first 30 days.
Key timing windows you cannot afford to miss or forfeit early on.
Realistic timelines & actual costs.
Real numbers and clear flat-fees, not an unpredictable open-ended hourly meter.
Whether you even need a lawyer.
If mediation or uncontested self-filing makes more financial sense, we will tell you.
YOU ARE IN CONTROL
Your Privacy Comes First
You are in control of how we reach you.
On the booking form we will ask whether it is safe to leave a voicemail or send email — and
whatever you tell us, we follow exactly. If you ask us to be discreet, our messages will not name the firm or mention the reason for your appointment.
Your inquiry is confidential. Nothing you tell us is shared with anyone.
*If you are in immediate danger, please contact local emergency services.
DIRECT PARTNER ACCESS
Licensed Attorneys & Divorce Specialists
You Can Actually Talk To
You won't be passed off to paralegals or fresh associates. Your case is directly strategized and argued by our named partners.
Elena Ross
Managing Partner
Certified Family Law Specialist, State Bar of Arizona. Seventeen years practicing exclusively in family law across Maricopa and Pinal counties. Elena handles complex custody and business-valuation matters and has served on the county bar's family law section committee since 2018.
Marcus Stone
Partner
Marcus came to family law after eight years in commercial litigation, which matters enormously when a marital estate includes a business, a partnership interest, or deferred compensation. He handles most of our post-decree modification work and is the person to talk to when the money is complicated.
THE ROSS & STONE STANDARD
Why People Choose Us
We eliminated legal opacity. From evening appointments at your kitchen table to secure digital portals and predictable flat fees, we protect your peace of mind from day one.
Family law only. Not a practice area among six. 100% focused expertise in Maricopa county courtrooms.
Transparent flat fees. Flat fees where they're possible. Uncontested divorces and simple modifications are quoted as a single number, not an open meter.
Evening and weekend consultations. Because most people cannot take sensitive legal calls during standard workday hours.
Monthly itemized billing. Every entry, every month. All unused retainer balances are strictly refunded immediately.
Discreet & secure client portal. Sensitive legal documents and messages stay completely off household email threads and outside eyes.
GOT QUESTIONS?
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about our consultation process and client representation
Is my consultation really free?
Yes. Thirty minutes with an attorney, no charge and no obligation to hire us.
What if my spouse finds out I called?
Tell us on the booking form that we should be discreet, and every message we send will be neutral — no firm name, no mention of the subject.
What should I have ready?
Nothing required. If it's easy, the last two years of tax returns and a rough list of major assets and debts help us give sharper answers.
What happens after the call?
If we're a fit, we'll send an engagement agreement and a retainer invoice. If we're not, we'll tell you what we'd do in your position.
STRICT ATTORNEY-CLIENT CONFIDENTIALITY
Thirty minutes. One conversation.
Then you’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with and what your options look like. No retainer checks, no pressure.
