Mitchell Reichman: One of 1,650 Matrimonial Fellows Nationwide, Practicing From Phoenix Since 1995

Origin

Three Decades, One Practice Area

Mitchell Reichman joined Jaburg Wilk in 1995 and, per the firm, devoted his practice exclusively to family law from that point forward — drawing on an earlier grounding in business, finance, accounting, and commercial litigation to handle the asset-division side of high-net-worth divorces. That combination is the throughline of his career: cases involving closely-held businesses, retail chains, and professional practices where valuing what’s actually being divided is often the hardest-fought part of the case.

He holds a genuine State Bar of Arizona Board Certified Family Law Specialist credential — a formal certification, not a marketing label — and is one of approximately 1,650 family lawyers nationwide admitted as a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, a peer-vetted body the Academy itself describes as recognizing preeminent family law practitioners for skill and integrity.

Practice

High-Conflict, High-Asset Divorce

Per the firm, Reichman’s practice centers on high-stakes divorce matters for high-income and high-net-worth clients, with particular depth in dividing complex marital estates — closely-held businesses, professional practices, and their attendant valuation disputes. He also writes and speaks regularly on spousal maintenance determinations and effective trial presentation in family court, and has contributed articles to Arizona Attorney at Law magazine since 2015 on topics ranging from executive divorce to parental alienation.

Track Record

What’s Documented

As with most family law practices, Reichman’s firm does not publish a dollar-figure results table — divorce settlements are typically confidential by design, and Arizona’s rules on attorney advertising treat family-law “results” differently than a personal-injury verdict. What’s independently verifiable is the recognition record above (State Bar certification, AAML Fellowship, sustained Best Lawyers and Super Lawyers listings across a decade-plus) and the client account below.

Client Voice

One Detailed, Attributed Account

A client review on Jaburg Wilk’s own site describes a divorce the reviewer calls potentially “the divorce from hell,” involving 27 years of marriage, children, stepchildren, grandchildren, and significant assets, writing that Reichman helped bring it to resolution. A second reviewer, writing through Avvo, called the outcome “far better than expected” after “over a year” of close work together. Both accounts are consistent in tone but describe only two matters; we’re not extrapolating a broader pattern from a small sample.

Community

Beyond the Case File

Reichman has been a contributing author to Arizona Attorney at Law magazine since 2015, writing specifically on family law and divorce topics for a legal-professional audience rather than a client-facing one. No additional bar-leadership or pro bono record beyond his AAML Fellowship activity turned up in public sources as of this writing.

Recognition

Genuinely Peer-Reviewed

Reichman holds the State Bar of Arizona’s Board Certified Family Law Specialist credential — the only credential this profile treats as license to use the word “specialist.” He is also an AV Preeminent®-rated attorney under Martindale-Hubbell’s peer-review system, has been listed in Best Lawyers in America for Family Law and Family Law Arbitration every year from 2013 through 2024, was named Best Lawyers’ “Lawyer of the Year” for Family Law Mediation in 2022, and is recognized by Southwest Super Lawyers. All are peer-nomination or peer-survey processes distinct from paid directory placement.

Arizona Legal Backdrop

How Arizona Divorce Actually Works

Arizona is a community property state (A.R.S. § 25-211), meaning most property and debt acquired during the marriage is divided, though not necessarily split exactly in half — courts aim for an equitable division. Spousal maintenance (alimony) is governed by A.R.S. § 25-319, which sets threshold eligibility factors before a court even considers an award. Child custody — termed “legal decision-making” and “parenting time” under Arizona law — is governed by A.R.S. § 25-403, with the child’s best interests as the controlling standard. None of this is legal advice; how these statutes apply to a specific high-asset estate is exactly the kind of fact-intensive question a specialist exists to answer.

Awesome Attorneys Assessment

Reichman’s credentials are the real thing: a genuine state specialist certification, a national Fellowship most family lawyers never reach, and recognition sustained across more than a decade rather than a single good year. The trade-off is scope — this is a practice built for high-net-worth, high-conflict cases with real assets to untangle, not a volume divorce practice, and someone with a straightforward, low-asset uncontested divorce may find the fit and the fee structure better suited elsewhere. The available client record, while positive, is thin (two accounts), so weigh it as a data point rather than a verdict.
