Hands down, Greatest of all Time (2.23.2021) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Chris has done cases for me before and I've always admired how good he is with words and how hard he fights for justice. He will not be bullied by another party and will stand up for his client as if they were family. He is so reasonable and knows how to make his point so eloquently. I wish I could make a book of the email correspondence he has with other parties/counsels - he just has a way with words! He will always try to reason and settle before it gets to court, in order to avoid costing everyone thousands of dollars in fees and representation. I've recently used Chris for what should have been a cut and dry case but the defendant was firm in their beliefs that they were in the right. Chris sent an email explaining our position and how we were right by the law. We never heard a response. Chris had to get creative and involve a somewhat related third party. After a brief phone call with the related third party, the defendant let us know that they would comply with our request. The whole situation gave me immense anxiety and made me sick for weeks. After I involved Chris, he did nothing but calm my nerves and assure me that everything was going to be okay. He was absolutely right. I cannot thank Chris enough for his passion and devotion to everyone he helps (inside and outside his practice!) I have so much respect for this man. - Taylor

5 Star Google Review (2.20.2021) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Look no further for your representation, this is your guy. I cannot say enough good things about Chris Doran and his team. He is quite literally the best at what he does. His team is highly capable as well. I've used them on multiple occasions and he has even assisted me on legal matters outside of his legal expertise(s). He is knowledgeable, professional, and his email correspondence to opposing parties are practically a gift from God. I refer anyone and everyone I know to this firm and they will be my go-to for life! - Taylor B.

Amazing Lawyer!!! (1.7.2021) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Shelby handled my case confidently and efficiently. She helped me win my custody battle with flying colors! If I ever need legal support again I will most for sure be reaching out to Shelby again! - Mike
Shelby was a fantastic attorney (12.19.2020) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I had such a great experience working with Shelby. She was an amazing lawyer who listened to me and gave trustworthy advice and worked hard to get me what I wanted. I found Shelby through the modest means project which was a god send. I’m so grateful that such experienced, talented, professional lawyers participate in that program and really help people when they need them the most. Shelby was very responsive whenever I had a question or needed to talk. They worked with me every step of the way and I’m forever grateful for the outcome in my case. My custody case was stressful at times, scary, emotional and Shelby helped ease that and then eventually won my case. Thank you so much Shelby for everything you did for me. - Andrea
Very reliable and a great person! (11.11.2020) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Chris helped me get through a rough time in my life. The passion he has to help anyone get through a crime is what’s needed for any case. Chris keeps it realistic and will always want what’s best for you. Overall, a great person! - Nicholas
Professional and Exceptional Representation (11.3.2020) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Tyler is the absolute best lawyer that I could have used to represent me. Knowing that Tyler not only competed and won numerous awards when competing in mock-trial in college, but is also a coach for the ASU Mock-Trial Team, I knew that I was getting a lawyer who is top tier. Tyler took the time to understand my concerns, go through all of the details leading up to my hearing, and prepped me well for the day of the hearing. When my hearing came, I was extremely nervous, but he reassured me that everything would move forward smoothly and there would be nothing to worry about. Tyler was phenomenal with his execution of our opening and closing statements, as well as with his cross-examination of me to bring to light the facts that may not have been known to the board. Tyler's knowledge and expertise is the reason why my case was won, and I know for a fact that if it weren't for him, I would not have had the favorable outcome that we hoped for. If you want a lawyer who doesn't just know how to win, but also understands how to comfort and support you amidst the entire process Tyler from Doran Justice is your guy. And if you need any extra reasons as to why you should choose him, look at his resume and his willingness to give back to and help coach the future lawyers of the world -- as it is evident that he genuinely cares about every person that he helps. - Connor
Chris Doran saved me! (10.30.2020) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ After being told, by 3 prior attorneys, that I had already received the best plea possible, I hired Chris. He came up with a plan, and executed it perfectly! I received no prison time, and the felony charge was reduced to a misdemeanor! I never thought this could happen, not in my wildest dreams! Thank you Chris! - Danielle

5 Star Google Review! (9.24.2020) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We already knew that Chris Doran was an excellent lawyer so we trusted the firm when they placed us with Shelby Anderson for a family court matter. We were honestly a little hesitant due to the fact that Shelby is a younger lawyer, but she went above and beyond in her representation of us. She answered the phone every time we called, provided us with the reassurance we needed to remain calm while dealing with parental alienation, and represented us in a professional and competent manner to bring the truth to light in a very complicated custody dispute with many false allegations. We are forever grateful for Shelby and the firm for their continued representation and search for justice. - Camilla M.
5 Star Facebook Review! (4.16.2020) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I love everything that Doran Justice stands for!!! Chris is very compassionate and professional and answered all the questions I had and helped me with everything in a timely manner. - Cynthia L.
5 Star Facebook Review! (4.10.2020) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Ms Anderson of Doran Justice is beyond compare. Knowledgeable, kind, patient, but tough as nails! She helped me through a relatively acrimonious divorce with compassion and skill. When things became tense after my divorce was finalized, Ms Anderson agreed to continue to work with me giving legal advice and representing me in legal matters regarding my ex husband. The office staff is also extremely friendly, and they keep the lines of communication open Ms Anderson is also generous. She has elected to work with a program here in Arizona called Modest Means. A program helping lower-income residents find affordable legal representation without Modest Means and Ms Anderson, I would have been grossly taken advantage of and without legal counsel or representation. Instead, working together with Ms Anderson, I was able to find a satisfactory agreement for my divorce. I cannot recommend her enough! - Tina B.
Tyler is the ultimate advocate (3.26.2020) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Tyler, Chris, and the whole Doran Justice team were amazing and highly professional. I came to them after having a bad experience with my previous attorney, and they helped resolve my legal issues with a very positive outcome. Tyler communicated constantly with me, and was very clear professional and courteous. This made me feel like he really cared about my situation and that he was being the strongest possible advocate for me. Their entire team was awesome. Lucille and the other support staff treated me with the upmost professionalism. Thank you! - Mike
It’s finally over! (05.05.2020) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We actually started our battle over custody and parenting time with Chris Doran before Shelby Anderson had joined his team as the family law lawyer. This was about 5 years ago and we have been battling the same issue since. Once Shelby joined the firm we transferred right over to her and she immediately go to work. This was a long drawn out and a lot of times very ugly fight. It was not easy, but she took it on and never looked back. She used her knowledge and professionalism as well as a respectful yet firm approach to our opposing party who was not nearly as friendly. We went forward with facts and stayed honest and true throughout our entire fight. She was always available when I needed her for phone calls to explain new situations. She knew exactly what we needed to do to win and never focused on anything other than what would actually matter when it came time for court. She knew it was financially tough for us so she also tried her best to only call or email or file anything when absolutely necessary to keep the cost to it’s lowest amount possible. After years of battling this we finally won! In court Shelby was not taking any of the opposing parties you know what. She was firm and aggressive and straight to the point. The judge ruled in our favor and we couldn’t be happier. We are so relieved and thankful to have the weight off our shoulders. I would recommend Shelby and Doran Justice law firm to anyone needing counsel. - Taryn

5 Star Avvo Review (3.27.2020) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I want to thank Christopher Doran and his entire staff for representing me during my personal injury. I had trouble getting insurance information from the defendant and when I hired Chris, he obtained all necessary names and numbers within hours. He and his incredible paralegal Jessica, fought for me and made sure I was made whole again, recouping everything I had lost, due to someone else’s negligence. Jessica personally spoke with my physicians and therapists, making sure all the records were kept in perfect order, while Christopher used his expert negotiating skills dealing with adjusters and attorneys from the defendants. They opened a client portal to keep me informed every step of the way. Complete open communication, no hidden secrets, and total honesty. You can’t ask for better legal representation. Chris and Jessica Genuinely care about the welfare of their clients. They treat you like you’re a member of their family. I will not hesitate to recommend Chris, Jessica, and the entire staff at Doran Justice to anyone who is in need of legal help. This firm is the VERY BEST! - Bobby

5 Star Google Review (2.25.2020) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "I flew down to Phoenix from Chicago and retained Chris Doran to represent my son, who was living in Tempe. Not only did Chris clear charges in Maricopa County that were pending against my son, he also stepped in to deal with ASU and potential issues with my son's education. I am extremely thankful to him and his team of professionals. It's a mothers nightmare to be so far away while dealing with legal issues, but Chris took care of everything and kept me in the loop." -Christina
AMAZING!!!!! (02.17.20) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "Chris and all his staff were amazing! With knowing little to none about the process and steps needed for my case, everyone was very helpful. Chris answered all my questions, big or small, and was always available to help walk me through everything and make me feel comfortable! I would HIGHLY recommend any one in legal need to contact Chris Doran!" -Cortney
5 Star Google Review (02.04.20) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “I am honored to write this review for what I will attest to be the greatest criminal and family attorney in Arizona. Chris took on a huge responsibility and deliver the greatest performance I could have ever expected, my son!!! During a troubled time in my life Chris demonstrated poise and professionalism guiding me through a tough time regaining the custody of my son. Chris and his team Jessica, Shelby and Lucille kept me informed and assisted me during several tough times in which not only I needed great counsel but an open ear to think clearly on the steps to follow. My journey throughout this process seem an eternity but Chris made it so I kept on gaining ground every step of the way allowing me to spend more time with my son and feeling like the end was rather near. I had Chris represent me on both a family matter and criminal matter and his knowledge and professionalism showed on both cases to be superb. I am pleased and once again, honored to recommend anyone in need of a great attorney at an affordable cost to visit Chris and his team to experience the same results and outcome as I did. Thank you Chris for getting my son back and for being a great advocate in the most needed time in my life. ” - Alex
Above and Beyond (1.21.2020) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "I came to Chris for some help with a DUI case. I was more so looking for assistance to make sure I had gone through the proper steps and didn't miss anything. Chris, however, took the facts of my story and realized the discrepancies in what took place. He fought for me to potentially have the case surpressed and dismissed, and was able to get me a favorable plea in doing so. While we all hope we would never have to be in the situation to need him, I would recommend Chris to anyone looking for legal guidance and representation." -Alex
My Hero (1.19.2020) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "I don't know where to begin and end with this amazing person. He was more than a lawyer for me he was my Hero. Let's start in the court room, Chris not only defended me in a trial setting once but twice in a stand off with the D.A. with my life hanging in the balance facing 10-17 years. I had never been more scared in my life. But watching him effortlessly maneuver through the court process gave me all the confidence I needed. Confidence that I didn't previously have before because I had never been in such a situation. His knowledge of the law was impeccable, he defended me vigorously not missing a beat. I am a free man today as a result of his unwavering desire to seek justice and defend the defenceless. I can not say enough good things about this man cause he is truly my Hero, and champion in his profession. After my case was over I suffered from depression, alcoholism, homelessness, suicidal thoughts and nightmares because of the traumatic situation I underwent. I called Chris and he took time out of his busy day to remind me how courageous I was and that I was a true winner and inspiration. That I had overcame so much already to break down now, he offered his best advice and gave me numbers to call to seek help. Today I am a C.E.O. of a luxury rental car service. I rebooted my clothing line that had went under due to my legal troubles. My clothes are selling again and I am now on track to open up a store in the Phoenix area in the next few months. I thank you Chris from the bottom of my soul because without your knowledge, passion, amazing heart and kind words in and out of the court room I fear my life would have been in shambles at this point maybe even worse. I recommend this man with 5 stars in any and all criminal situations because he was and still is my Hero." -Jai
5 Star Google Review (1.17.2020) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "Doran Justice is a premiere law firm in Phoenix, AZ that I would highly recommend. I have dealt with several attorneys in multiple states over the last 25 years and I haven’t found one as fine as this firm. Attorney Doran and his legal staff are phenomenal! Extremely professional, knowledgeable, supportive and respectful. The level of attention they paid to my case was incredible. I had to change attorneys midway through a difficult case and it turned out to be the best decision I ever made. Attorney Doran and his staff are quick with responses to questions, positive in support of your well being and your case. Never had an attorney care about what I was going through more then attorney Doran and his team of legal advisors. Just meet him once and you know immediately you found the right attorney. His preparation, legal knowledge, ability to communicate his thoughts and feelings to his clients is second to none. I can’t thank Doran Justice enough for what they have done for me and my family. He under promises and over delivers. This firm is the complete package! Don’t go anywhere else in the valley!" -Bob S.
Spectacular Lawyer (1.17.2020) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "Without a doubt the best attorney I have ever worked with. His passion and knowledge for law are impressive to say the least. I was fortunate enough to have Attorney Doran referred to me by one of the most elite business men in the United States. I was in the conflicting situation of having to switch attorneys midway through my case and it turned out to be the best decision I ever made. Exceptional communication skills, a calm and cool demeanor that seems to come from his years
