Angela has practiced exclusively in the area of family law for 21 years. She focuses her practice on all aspects of family law, including but not limited to, divorce, legal separations, annulments, paternity, legal decision-making authority (previously referred to as custody), relocation, parenting time, in loco parentis cases, grandparent visitation, child support, spousal support, orders of protection, complicated property division and business valuation issues. Further, Angela has served as a Best Interests Attorney through the Volunteer Lawyers Assistance Program.
Angela is committed to helping you see how the decisions you make today could impact your future for years to come. She will help you make such decisions after fully analyzing the impact on the litigation and your family.

Christa Banfield has focused her practice on family law since before she was even licensed in 2011, externing with Community Legal Services and the Honorable Bruce Cohen, and interning with family law practices in Phoenix and Scottsdale. Christa’s background allows her to bring both empathy and logic to her practice – an important balance in family law matters.
In 2003, Christa obtained her first Bachelor’s of Science in Supply Chain Management, which she put to use as a business analyst for Honeywell before pursuing her law degree. Her love of numbers and analytics serves her well when handling high asset dissolutions, dissolutions with businesses involved, and simply being able to analyze different financial scenarios for her clients.
Christa’s second BS was in Psychology, and while attending ASU’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law she focused her classes on Law and Psychology, earning her graduate certificate in Law, Science, and Technology. While Christa emphasizes that she is not a psychologist, her study of the subject helps in dissolution matters where mental health concerns, child development issues, substance abuse, domestic violence, and other such issues are present.
In her free time, Christa enjoys spending time with her family on their hobby farm playing with the goats, chickens, dogs, cats, and tortoise.
