Angela Y. Peacock is one of only 80 attorneys (as of 2025) to earn the distinguished credential of Certified Family Law Specialist by the State Bar of Arizona Board of Legal Specialization—a recognition of her deep expertise and commitment to excellence in family law. She has been honored with a “Superb” rating by Avvo.com and was named a Super Lawyer for eight consecutive years (2017–2024), a reflection of her professional achievement and peer recognition.
With over 22 years of exclusive experience in family law, Angela brings both depth and compassion to every case she handles. Her practice covers a wide range of family law matters, including divorce, legal separation, annulment, paternity, legal decision-making (formerly custody), relocation, parenting time, in loco parentis rights, grandparent visitation, child support, spousal maintenance, complex property division, and business valuation disputes. In addition to her private practice, Angela has served as a Best Interests Attorney through the Volunteer Lawyers Assistance Program, demonstrating her commitment to the welfare of children and families in the legal system.
Angela combines strong legal advocacy with a client-centered approach, helping individuals and families navigate difficult transitions with clarity, dignity, and confidence
In her time out of the office, Angela enjoys spending time with her husband, two children, and her dogs, and she enjoys volunteering at dog shelters.
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.
