about my team . . .

Attorney Zarina N. Aguilar.  Having received my Juris Doctorate from the Phoenix School of Law, and formerly employed by the office of the Arizona Attorney General, I have substantial experience representing clients facing all types of legal needs.  I understand the laws, traditions, opportunities and challenges of our region.  My talents as a legal professional and my diverse background and creative strategy implementation allow me to advance your case and protect your interests to the best of my abilities.  In the course of my practice, I’ve learned that every legal problem is unique. It is critical to find solutions that are tailored to each client's specific needs.  

 

When you retain my services, I make it a priority to inform you of every material development and to keep you involved in every aspect of your case.  Communication between attorney and client is a high priority for me.  My clients receive prompt access to me for answers to their questions.   

 

I’ve created a relaxing and welcoming environment at my office.  My law firm is a place where you can come in, sit down, and speak with a legal professional who knows the law and understands your situation. I take time to sit with you, to explain the power of confidentiality, and give you all of the information you need to feel confident about your future. You don’t have to retell your story to numerous attorneys, and you don’t have to wonder if the attorney standing by your side in the courtroom knows all of the facts about your case.   Either I or my LP personally handle each case and devote the time and attention necessary to identify and implement an effective course of action. Above all, I am always working toward solutions that meet my clients' legal, estate planning and business goals.

I’ve built a reputation based on offering personal service and pulling in a network of colleagues as needed to facilitate cost effective representation.  My network of resources offers my clients added value.  When needed, I associate some of the strongest colleagues in the area including financial advisors, certified public accountants, mental health professionals, mediators and others. 

 

I am a member of the Southern Arizona Estate Planning Council, Southern Arizona’s leading association for professionals involved in estate planning, trust administration, tax and estate law. 

 

Because I value diversity and opportunity for all, I am a member of the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law Latina Mentoring Program, a program to mentor undergraduate Latina students in the law program.

Legal Paraprofessional Sandra L. Bauer.   Sandra L. Bauer, an Arizona licensed Legal Paraprofessional, brings over two decades of dedication to her career in law, combining in-depth knowledge with genuine empathy for her clients.  Ms. Bauer has worked in the legal field alongside accomplished attorneys for over 22 years, including over a decade as a Senior Paralegal handling complex family law cases.  For the last 12 years, she has performed associate-level work on family law cases from start to finish, under the guidance and supervision of attorneys.  Ms. Bauer has continually honed her expertise.

 

Encouraged by attorney Zarina N. Aguilar to obtain her license to practice Family Law,  Ms. Bauer achieved her LP licensure in 2024 following rigorous examinations and assessment by the Arizona Supreme Court.  She is an associate member of the State Bar of Arizona. 

 

As a Legal Paraprofessional in family law, Ms. Bauer represents clients in court, provides specific legal advice and opinions and negotiates settlements pursuant to ACJD §7-210 – services similar to those of an attorney but at a more affordable rate.  Thus, she is able to fill a much-needed gap for people who need family law legal services that they might not be able to afford otherwise.  

 

Known for her empathetic approach and strategic insight, Ms. Bauer provides clients with comprehensive representation tailored to the complexities of family law.  Her years of experience in drafting inclusive Petitions, Decrees and the like contribute to her ability to be a strong advocate for clients.  Her practice includes divorce, parenting time, prenuptial agreements, modifications and appearances at hearings and trials (with or without the firm’s attorney).  She emphasizes transparent and candid legal advice, empowering her clients to make informed decisions in the midst of the stressful conflict that can arise in family dynamics.  Her goal is to get clients through a difficult process to the next chapter of life as quickly as possible.  

 

Beyond her professional endeavors, Ms. Bauer leads a fulfilling life outside of work.  She is active in her church, and her interests include spending quality time with her family, reading, gardening and traveling.
