Origin
Barry L. Brody Phoenix: More Than Three Decades of Certified Family Law Practice
Barry Brody was certified as a Family Law Specialist by the State Bar of Arizona in 1992, a credential Awesome Attorneys confirmed directly against the Bar’s own public roster — among the longest continuously held family law certifications of any attorney profiled in this category.
Practice
Complex Family Law, Plus Extensive Neutral Experience
Brody’s practice specializes in complex family law cases, including divorce, legal separation, and annulment. Beyond direct representation, he has extensive experience serving in neutral roles, having acted as a mediator, arbitrator, and family law master in hundreds of matters — a volume of neutral work that gives him direct insight into how judges and other neutrals evaluate contested family law issues.
Track Record
Awesome Attorneys did not identify an independent, itemized case-results table for this practice, which is typical for family law given the private nature of most settlements and the sensitive subject matter involved.
Past-Results Disclaimer: Every matter is different, and no past result guarantees a similar outcome in any future matter.
Client Voice
Awesome Attorneys did not identify a substantial volume of independently sourced, individually attributable client reviews for Brody in the sources reviewed for this profile.
Community
Brody’s service as a mediator, arbitrator, and family law master in hundreds of matters represents a substantial contribution to the family law dispute-resolution system beyond his own direct client representation.
Recognition
Brody’s Family Law board certification (since 1992) was confirmed directly against the State Bar of Arizona’s own certified-specialist roster. Awesome Attorneys did not identify a Best Lawyers or Super Lawyers selection for Brody in the sources reviewed; his primary independently verifiable credential is the certification itself and his extensive documented history of court-appointed neutral roles.
The Arizona Legal Backdrop
What follows is general legal information, not legal advice.
Arizona family law proceeds under Title 25 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. Legal separation, one of Brody’s named focus areas, is governed by A.R.S. § 25-313 and follows a largely parallel process to dissolution of marriage without formally ending the marriage. Family law master and mediator roles, part of his practice, operate under Arizona Rules of Family Law Procedure 74 and 95.
The Awesome Attorneys Assessment
Barry L. Brody Phoenix’s clearest differentiator is one of the longest continuously held Family Law certifications in this category (since 1992), paired with hundreds of matters’ worth of experience serving as a neutral rather than only as an advocate.
The honest trade-off: Awesome Attorneys did not identify independent peer-review recognition (Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers) or a substantial public client-review record for Brody, so clients should weigh the certification and neutral-role experience against the more limited third-party verification available for this practice.
