Will Harrison was born and raised in Florida. He attended the University of South Florida in Tampa, where he majored in philosophy with a minor in psychology. This choice of curriculum was based on Will’s affinity for logic and his desire to achieve a deep understanding of human nature. The knowledge that he acquired during his time at USF informs his approach to family law practice to this day.. After graduating with honors from USF, Will moved to Temecula, California to get married and start a life together with his wife. He spent a few years working in commission sales, which honed his capacity for persuasion and motivated him to learn how to interact with and relate to people from all walks of life. However, Will knew that his dream since childhood was to become an attorney. Thus, after acclimating to his new life thousands of miles away from where he grew up, he knew it was time to realize that dream. To that end, Will accepted an offer of admission with a generous scholarship to the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University. During his last semester, he worked as an extern for a Phoenix insurance defense firm. While at ASU, Will dedicated himself to learning as much as he could from the school’s extraordinarily knowledgeable professors. This included taking a course in family law taught by Judge Bruce Cohen, Presiding Judge of the Family Department of the Maricopa County Superior Court and one of Will’s favorite professors.. After earning his Juris Doctor degree, Will worked for a firm in Mesa. He initially worked as a criminal law clerk, but eventually transferred to the family law department. After working on family law cases and communicating with family law clients, Will knew that he found a practice area to which he could dedicate his legal career. His exposure to criminal law gave him valuable experience to prepare him for cases wherein the two practice areas intersect. However, through the time he spent working with family law clients, he found his most powerful source of motivation: his passion for guiding clients through the most tumultuous time of their lives.. That passion led Will to join Cantor Law Group, where providing clients with that guidance is central to the firm’s mission. Will thrives on complexity, whether that complexity derives from issues of property division, custody, or both. He dedicates himself to outsmarting and outworking the other side. At the same time, Will understands the emotional nuances of a family law matter and always keeps that in mind when interacting with and fighting for his clients.. In his free time, Will enjoys spending time with his wife, their dog Penny, and their cat Mooze.

I'm Cody Hayes and I operate a law firm dedicated to helping people become unmarried without ruining the rest of their lives.  I was a teenager when my mother and stepfather transitioned out of their marriage.. As a family, we were always doing things together: Sailing trips to Catalina Island; Hiking and backpacking through every tiny canyon and stream we could find, and mountain biking and rollerblading together as a family all over the city.  My twin brother and I had the time of our lives.. I remember how confusing it was to have been there through all those good times, only to find myself with two parents who no longer wanted to be with each other. It was hard for me to understand why it wasn’t worth it for them to try again.. My parents encouraged me and my brother to ask questions. And they gave us honest answers. In the end, I remember asking each of them independently if they could see any way possible to stay their own ways, each of my parents helped me understand that being apart from one another was what would make them the happiest.. I couldn’t argue with that. I didn’t like it and it wasn’t my preference, but I could respect their decision because I knew it was the truth.. As time went on, I came to realize that the relationship I had with my parents didn’t depend on them being together at all.. And they were right about their happiness. By transitioning out of their dysfunctional marriage and moving forward with their individual lives, they became more relaxed, more joyous, and easier to be around. They both refocused on what was important to themselves and began to accomplish their personal goals again.. In a dysfunctional marriage, nobody wins. Moving forward with their lives made it possible for my parents to be happy, and enabled them to support me and my brother in ways they couldn’t have managed if they had stayed together.. At Hayes Esquire PLLC, it’s our mission to help people become unmarried without ruining the rest of their lives — and to help couples with children transition from husband and wife to partners in parenting. We achieve our goals by seeing to it that clients of the firm gain the legal information, advice, and emotional support they need to ensure that their disputes are resolved without a lot of bitterness and resentment, that their families are left intact, and that the stress and expense often associated with prolonged litigation is alleviated.. Not only is a divorce the end of a marriage, but it can also be the beginning of a fulfilling life for everyone involved. If you’d like to transition from married to unmarried in a way that moves you toward the brightest future possible, please contact us for a complimentary consultation.. Sincerely,. Cody L. HayesHayes Esquire PLLC
