4500 N. 32nd Street , Phoenix , Arizona 85018

Practice Areas: Family, Divorce, Child Custody, Child Support

Darin Colburn’s first encounter with the legal system was during his parents’ divorce, which began when he was six years old and ended when he was twelve. More than twenty years later, having helped hundreds of clients navigate the murky waters of divorce, child custody, and other family law disputes, Darin tells many of his clients what he wishes someone would have told his parents back in the day: take a deep breath and don’t let the past stop you from building a better future.. It may have taken decades, but Darin’s parents are now friends, and both wish they had handled matters differently. In particular, they both have independently shared their regret over spending an exorbitant amount of money on legal fees during their divorce. In fact, Darin’s dad is fond of saying that if he had just settled early on and put the money that he spent on attorneys (that’s right, he had more than one) in the market, he would have retired decades ago. To help his clients avoid the pitfalls experienced by his parents, Darin employs a strategic, solution-oriented, and client-centric approach to the practice of law. He enjoys earning a client’s satisfaction by accomplishing their goals early on through skillful negotiation and settlement, thereby keeping more money in the client’s pocket.. As an undergraduate at the University of Arizona, Darin learned the ins and outs of cost-benefit analysis, graduating Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Economics from the Eller College of Management. During law school, Darin honed his skills in legal writing, research, and trial advocacy, earning multiple CALI awards (granted to the student with the highest grade in a given class). Darin graduated Magna Cum Laude, finishing law school with a final ranking in the top 5% of his class.. Despite a very strong track record of negotiating and settling cases favorably and cost-effectively for his clients, Darin is ultimately a trial lawyer at heart. From Darin’s perspective, negotiations and litigation go hand in hand, because strong trial advocacy leads to better settlement offers. After all, if the other side is going to take you seriously at the negotiation table, they have to perceive you as a threat in the courtroom. Darin is an experienced trial attorney that excels in high net worth divorce, complex business valuations, and messy custody disputes. In 2019, Darin was selected as a Top 40 Under 40 Trial Attorney by the American Institute of Trial Lawyers.. Darin was born and raised in Central Phoenix. When he is not lawyering, he is an avid reader, amateur home cook, and aspiring chess master. He also enjoys traveling abroad and spending quality time with his wife, Claire..

As a mom of six, there is not much that Scottsdale divorce attorney Laura V. Babione hasn’t seen & keeping the best interest of children at the forefront during any case is a must. The children, above all else, are the client’s top priority as well as hers. “It is in the children’s best interest to have their parents effectively communicating and co-parenting as well as possible, so everyone can go on to the new chapter in their lives as soon as possible” she said. Ms. Babione is very understanding of her clients and the position they are in. She listens, understands, and then helps guide them through this very difficult time they are going through.. “My clients know I truly care about them and will go the extra mile to help them achieve their goals. Ms. Babione cautions that her kindness should not be mistaken as a weakness. “I will fight when I need to fight, but not for the sake of fighting,” she said. “We need to pick our battles according to our priorities & a cost benefit analysis of each individual’s situation that I walk each client through.” Ms. Babione is a former collegiate softball player and is an avid baseball fan whether professional, youth or any baseball in between. In her spare time you will find her on her running, riding her Peloton bike or at the baseball diamond doing her absolute favorite thing of all time, watching her son play baseball.
