About Simple Family Law

The Arizona family court system is often confusing and stressful. Most people find themselves stuck between paying a large lawyer retainer and trying to handle everything on their own with no guidance. Simple Family Law provides a better path. We offer the professional insight of a law firm through easy-to-follow tutorials, instructional videos, and one-on-one coaching. Our goal is to provide you with the knowledge you need to achieve stability and finality for your family.

The Knowledge to Move Forward

We are the specialized coaching and education arm of Benjamin Legal, P.C. While many websites just give you blank forms, we focus on the “how and why” of your case. Our resources are created by Arizona trial attorneys who understand how the courts in Maricopa, Pima, and Pinal counties actually work. We show you how the process works so you can avoid the common mistakes that keep people stuck in the system for years.

What We Provide

We focus on empowering you to handle your case with confidence through three main pillars:

Instructional Video Tutorials: We offer a library of videos that walk you through every phase of your case. From starting a filing to preparing for a hearing, we explain the rules and procedures in plain English.

Strategic Coaching: If you need specific help with your strategy, we offer one-on-one coaching sessions. You can talk to a professional about how to handle mediation, how to organize your evidence, or how to present your case to a Judge.

A Professional Roadmap: We help you understand the court’s timelines and requirements. When you know what comes next, you can stay focused on reaching a final resolution rather than worrying about the unknown.

Focusing on Stability and Finality

A family law case should not go on forever. It should end with a clear order that protects your family and allows everyone to move on.

By using our tutorials and coaching, you are choosing a path that prioritizes finality. We help you create a plan that is legally sound and designed to last. You stay in control of your case while benefiting from the professional support of Benjamin Legal.

Courtney Kingsley

★★★★★

During a time when my ex went against court orders and took my children away with false allegations against me, I was able to get help from Lindsay Benjamin and Kelsie Nordahl. While those days were the darkest and most painful of my life, Lindsay and Kelsie were empathetic, kind, and supportive. They advocated for my rights as a mother and defended my children from the ill intent from their father towards our family. The ladies are knowledgeable, well organized and prepared but best of all they have a strong moral compass that guides their family practice. I am grateful for their counsel, representation, and professionalism during my case. Thanks to their help, my sons and I can continue to grow stronger together as a family and live our best life.I full heartedly recommend Benjamin Legal for any child custody and family matter representation.

Kelsey was truly amazing. I was referred to her and since the day of my consultation she was very confident. Kelsey is effective and thorough. Her or her assistant respond back to you in a timely manner. When a phone call is needed you are scheduled and she makes the time to speak with you. She provides constant reassurance. She gives insight and guides you, but still allowing you the freedom to make your own decisions. She is caring and passionate about her work. She is confident when she speaks and regardless of the situation she is powerful and believes and wants everything you do as her client. I’m so thankful for Kelsey. I truly would not have gotten through my drama filled case without her. She has put my mind at ease numerous time and because of the trust I had in her I know she did everything she could for me and more. I’m happy with my final documents and I know that if I ever had to modify I would hire Kelsey again in a heart beat.Benjamin legal and its entirety was great and so supportive.

After 12 years of a coparenting relationship, my child's father decided our long standing custody agreement did not work for him any longer, and I found myself in the beginning of a very stressful expensive dispute. I am so grateful for Sophie at Benjamin Legal. She has been so strong and powerful, she has met my nervousness and the emotional roller coaster of the loom of a custody case with compassion and a real understanding of how to meet our families needs. I hired Benjamin Legal based on a recommendation. I was admittedly worried about using Sophie on my case because Kelsey was spoken so highly of. I am also a high-strung person (especially when it comes to my kiddo) and Sophie is so calm and laid back, I was worried she wouldn't be "aggressive" enough if I am being honest. However, over the last few months she has proven me so wrong, her laid back personality shines and I love her push back in a very humble way! She can stand up for our family in such a powerful and elegant manner. She has been the calming voice within my storm. Facing up against my child's father and his "aggressive" deminer lawyer is made bearable because Sophie is in our corner. Every question I send her is met with detailed answers, and I feel she truly cares about the well-being of my kiddo. Anyway, I am so grateful for Sophie, and Greg he is wonderful too!-Bethany

Worked with several attorney's through Benjamin Legal over a few years. They were all professional, extremely responsive, supportive and assisted me to maintain positive outlook through my legal struggles. Kelsey specifically was amazing and even an emotional support when things got difficult through my divorce.

I can't say enough about how incredible Sophie was during my divorce! From the moment we began working together.. she was attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about my well-being. She guided me through every step of the process with clarity and compassion, making what could have been a stressful situation feel much more manageable. Her knowledge of the law and dedication to my case was beyond impressive, and she consistently went above and beyond to get the best possible outcome for me.Sophie represented a number my friends while she was practicing in Denver, and has since moved to Phoenix. I recommend her to everyone I know, and here on Google, that anyone in the Phoenix area searching for family legal counsel through a sensitive time in your life, they can look no further than Sophie Altman at Benjamin Legal. Her expertise and support truly changed my life for the better, and I’m forever grateful to have had her by my side during such a pivotal time. Thank you Sophie!

I found Kelsey through my work’s assistance program when it came to finally getting custody/legal paperwork done with my ex over our son (very drama filled situation with a lot of moving parts).I can’t say enough about her. From our consultation to moving forward with all the court/legal paperwork she was informative, confident and most importantly involved; taking and returning any of my emails/calls personally.She genuinely cared and was passionate about getting the results that I not only wanted but that she saw were clearly needed for my situation. She always had a plan B or C up her sleeve if plan A didn’t work out.Not only did we get a resolution that I was happy with, but she was also there and ready if I needed to retain her again after paperwork time frame was coming to a close (years later). Again, she was ready with a game plan if I needed her.Thank you Kelsey (again) so much for making an incredibly stressful time in my life a lot better to manage.

I really had a wonderful experience with Kelsey and Benjamin Legal, PC. I was ending a marriage that was the equivilent of a Lifetime Movie. Because it was a 25 year marriage, I knew I just wanted out and to do that I would have to give him half of everything. Kelsey also knew I didn't want to be vindictive or ugly and respected my wishes during the whole process. Because of my determination and Kelsey's support and guidance, our divorce was final in 2 months! They are the best at Benjamin Legal, PC.
