Meet Zalena M. Kersting

For more than 35 years, I have helped Arizona families navigate divorce, child custody, child support, mediation, and other family law matters. I understand that every case is personal, and I take the time to listen to your concerns, explain your options, and develop a strategy tailored to your family's needs.

Whether you are facing a divorce, protecting your relationship with your children, or resolving financial issues, my goal is to provide practical guidance, honest communication, and experienced representation. I personally handle every case and work diligently to protect your rights while pursuing the best possible outcome.

My commitment is simple: provide compassionate legal counsel, clear advice, and strong advocacy so you can move forward with confidence.

 Zalena was instrumental in helping settle a very difficult divorce involving children. She was always very prepared, professional and empathetic to my needs. I highly recommend her.

She always listened well, was very compassionate and really cared about our family...

Zalena was exceptional from start to finish. My divorce was long, contentious, and involved kids and asset division — the kind of case that could have easily gone off the rails. Instead, Zalena brought calm, strategic guidance in our private conversations and a commanding, authoritative presence in the courtroom. Her communication was outstanding throughout, and she fought hard against opposing counsel to protect my interests. We avoided trial entirely thanks to her skill and preparation. I've already recommended her to several friends and would hire her again without hesitation. If you need a top-notch Family/divorce attorney, look no further — hire Zalena.

I cannot recommend Zalena Kersting highly enough. She is truly one of the best family law attorneys in the business.

Zalena is amazing and fought for me and my children. What I thought was going to be a difficult battle, she handled with ease. I recommend her to everyone that i talked to who needed her help. Even after my case was settled, she would occasionally reach out to check on me and my family. If you need an amazing family lawyer, there is no one you can trust more to fight for you than Kersting family law. Thank you for everything.

Zalena guided me through my divorce and helped me attain a very good outcome. She always reminded me to keep the interests of my children first and she talked me off the ledge when I got a little too emotional. I respect her professionalism, her deep knowledge of the law, the courts and the process, as well as her candor and her compassion. I have referred someone I care about deeply to Zalena, which is the highest praise I can give.
