Who We Are, and What We Do

FRANK AMAR MATURA –

WHO WE ARE, AND WHAT WE DO

 

The Law Firm of Frank Amar Matura is a highly successful litigation firm specializing in Family Law, with offices in the Biltmore area of Phoenix, Arizona for more than 40 years.

We are often asked: “What is the one thing that your firm does best, maybe better than anyone else?” —

And the answer is: Handling high-conflict contested child custody cases.

Why? Because we’re committed to protecting children. Our experienced and compassionate attorneys care deeply about children and are willing to fight as hard as it takes to ensure that their best interests are protected. But caring deeply is not enough. Child custody cases are difficult and complex. In order to win, an attorney must be a highly-skilled litigator and a savvy negotiator, someone who is up to date on the latest legal research and courtroom technology. That’s where our attorneys stand out.

Family Law Attorney Gary FrankDecades ago, our founding member, Gary Frank, began his career as a business attorney. One day, a father who had been referred by one of Gary’s clients came into the office. He was desperate and asked Gary to represent him in a contested child custody case. At first, Gary was reluctant, but this man was clearly a stable, loving father, and the child was in potential danger in the hands of the other parent. Gary agreed to accept the case. After a long litigation culminating in a trial in front of a judge, he prevailed. The child was placed in the care and custody of Gary’s client.

The Law meant something. With strong representation, you can save a child, protect a client’s assets and their future, and change lives.

For 40-plus years now, Gary and his firm have specialized in Family Law, with a focus on high-conflict child custody matters, and complex high-asset divorces.

A law firm is only as good as the attorneys who work there. This is another area where Frank Amar Matura rises-above the crowd.

Renée worked at the Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project for three years, representing detained children and victims of human trafficking.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

At Frank Amar Matura, we are highly-skilled and experienced attorneys who are fully committed to the practice of Family Law, which includes Divorce, Legal Separation, Child Custody, Modification, Enforcement, Division of Property and Assets, Grandparent and Third-Party Rights, drafting Prenuptial and Post-Nuptial Agreements, and Settlement Agreements, as well as all other matters in the Family Law Arena.

We care deeply about our clients and their families and handle each client’s case the way we would want our own family member’s case to be treated.

Many lawyers brag about being “aggressive.” But that’s a red flag. A lawyer who is blindly aggressive can (and often does) cause the client to miss opportunities to settle their case peacefully through negotiation. It escalates the conflict and results in lengthy, unnecessary, and expensive litigation. That only benefits the lawyer. Our attorneys have years of trial experience and provide strong, assertive representation in every case. However, if an opportunity presents itself to resolve the conflict by negotiating a favorable settlement for our client, we will certainly explore that option.

If you are involved in a Family Law dispute, or if you would like a legal consultation to discuss a potential matter, please do not hesitate to give us a call. You can reach us through our website at FAMLAWAZ.COM or by phone at 602-922-9989. We look forward to assisting you.

 

Client Reviews

Family Law Client

I had a very legally and emotionally difficult case and was fortunate enough to have Mr. Frank’s legal assistance. Mr. Frank was extremely professional, reliable, and competent. He always kept me informed of my case, and he gave me great legal insights. His litigation expertise and easy disposition allowed me to be comfortable and less stressed considering the situation. Mr. Frank always treated me with respect and valued my input. I felt part of a collaborative effort rather than the usual attorney-client relationship. It was a pleasure working with Mr. Frank, and I would most definitely recommend him to my friends and family.

I would recommend your services to anyone!

I am very satisfied for all you have done for me throughout my divorce and custody cases. You listened to what was important to me and you made it your number-one priority. The safety of my children meant the world to me and you helped me keep them safe. You are excellent in the courtroom. Throughout all of my court cases and different issues with my ex-husband, you helped me stay calm and grounded. I believe in our justice system since I was lucky enough to have an amazing attorney. Mr Gary Frank, you were a godsend in many ways, and every time I look at my children and know they’re safe I thank God for finding such a great attorney. I would recommend your services to anyone! Thank you once again for all your hard work.

I feel re-born!

“I can’t tell you how much I am now enjoying my life. It sounds crazy, but I feel re-born! Of course, I have my days, but they are fewer and fewer. I spend time with family and friends and for the first time in seven plus years, I feel alive and well. I will never be able to thank you enough for all your caring and encouragement throughout this extremely stressful and challenging time in my life. I could not have managed to get through it without your support.”

Noel

A Lawyer That Cares

I chose Hannah to represent me because I know she personally invest herself into each and every client. I could tell she really cared and was ready to fight for me. When I called to schedule for a consult, Hanna received the phone call, not some lawyer’s assistant or front desk person. She has gone above and beyond what was asked of her. She knows what she’s doing. Thank you so much Hanna!

Jonathan

Excellent Lawyer!!!

I was going through a family court case & did not have a lawyer. I needed help filling out paperwork & knowing what to do in court. Mr. Frank met with me on several occasions & helped with properly filling out all of my paperwork & informing me of the correct way to file it. He gave me his cell phone # & always returned my calls promptly.

DANA

Divorce Lawyer

Gary was recommended to me by a relative. I was in a long-term abusive marriage and had had enough and was ready to put an end to it. while being “ready” I was scared to death as I was someone with low self-esteem and so afraid of how my Ex would respond. Gary gave me the courage to stand up for myself and helped me work thru my insecurities so that I was able to testify in court and breath. He walked me through all the steps of what we were going to do so that I understood. he was always ready to answer any questions/concerns I had in a timely manner (and I had a lot). I have recommended Gary to several friends going thru a divorce and I will continue to do so. I can’t thank him enough for his help and what he has done for me.

When you need better than the best

It is all about passion. Whether you play baseball, run a bakery, or practice law, you will do it better if you have passion. Hanna has that passion. She helped guide me through my trying times during my divorce and custody case. Her impeccable professionalism, humanity, and understanding as well as being tough enough to get things done were beyond what I could ever hope for. I couldn’t ask for a better attorney than Hanna. She not only cared about me, she also cared about the well-being of my daughter. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Susan

Angels

Gary and Hanna are the most amazing and compassionate attorneys in AZ. They go above and beyond and would highly recommend them to anyone! They work with you and actually care about the well being of your children vs. Money (unlike most others). I cannot thank them enough for what they have done for my own family. Angels.

Thanks From A Confident Dad

Gary, I see your LinkedIn posts every now and then and just wanted to send you a quick note.  Wow, the last 6 years have been a whirlwind.  I just want to thank you again for the support and guidance you provided to me 6 years ago.  It has made a monumental difference in my life. My son’s mother and I made the mutual decision to move (out of state) about a year and a half ago.  Ironically, we live in the same neighborhood now, we’ve got our parenting plan at about 50% time each, and we walk him to school.  We get along, and it honestly can’t be any better.  My son is now in 1st grade, and he has a brother who is a year and a half.  In the past 6 years, I’ve evolved from the scared, immature, insecure person who sat in your office to a confident father of two boys.  Your input and guidance had a lot to do with that, so, thank you.  I do miss Arizona – in due time, hopefully, I’ll be back.

I Know In My Heart I Chose The Right Attorneys To Represent Me

I appreciate all of you and all that you have done on my behalf. Most of all, I appreciate all of your moral support and your faith in me and my intentions. I know in my heart that I chose the “Right Attorneys” to represent me. I am happy that I chose wisely and trusted my heart & my ‘gut instinct.’

Valerie

Very Honest

November 2009 I retained Mr. Frank for almost two years to represent me in a visitation modification filed by my ex-husband. Mr. Frank quickly and efficiently became familiar with my case and was very honest about all the potential results that could occur. I truly feel that Mr. Frank had my children’s best interests in mind…
