Owens & Perkins

What Owens & Perkins does

Owens & Perkins, P.C. is a privately held Arizona professional corporation operating as a full-service family law and estate planning law firm from a single headquarters at 7322 E. Thomas Road in Scottsdale, Arizona (Maricopa County). Founded in 1967 by C.D. Owens and re-formed in 1996 as a multi-attorney practice with his granddaughter Michelle J. Perkins, the firm has been in continuous operation for 55+ years and currently employs approximately 8-9 named personnel, including Managing Partner Michelle J. Perkins, two litigation attorneys (Michael J. Crane and Scott C. Ghormley), a firm administrator, paralegal, legal assistants, and receptionist.

The firm's core service offering is organized around four integrated practice areas: Family Law (divorce, high-net-worth divorce, child custody, child support, spousal maintenance, paternity, prenuptial agreements, and post-decree modifications), Mediation (alternative dispute resolution with a stated 80-90% success rate), Estate Planning (wills, trusts, beneficiary deeds, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and trust administration), and Probate (formal/informal probate, personal representative appointments, guardianship/conservatorship, and probate litigation). A discrete QDRO sub-product handles retirement-account division in divorce. The firm operates no proprietary technology platform; its technology footprint is limited to LawPay for payment processing, Google Reviews for social proof, and Google reCAPTCHA for form security.

Revenue is generated entirely through professional services billing — hourly fees, flat fees for estate planning documents, and retainer arrangements — with no publicly disclosed pricing. The go-to-market model is sales-led and consultation-based: prospective clients complete a multi-step online intake form, then schedule 30-minute consultations via phone, Zoom, or in-person. Customer acquisition is driven by organic search (an active blog and 10+ year monthly newsletter archive), Google reviews (246 reviews, 4.8 rating), and client referrals, with multiple testimonials referencing multi-generational relationships of 20+ years. The client base is entirely individual persons and families in Arizona, with no enterprise or institutional customers, no external investors, and no parent company.
