Biography

Michelle J. Perkins was admitted to the bar in 1994 and practiced solo for two years before co-founding Owens & Perkins with her grandfather, C.D. Owens. Over 23 years, they built a multigenerational family-law practice in Arizona—Mr. Owens retiring after an extraordinary 68-year legal career in 2017. Ms. Perkins specializes in family law, estate planning, and probate, representing clients whose families have trusted the firm since 1967. Under her leadership, the firm celebrated its 55th anniversary in 2022. An active member of the Arizona Chapter of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization and the Successful Women Owners Network, she is recognized for innovation, growth, and community service. Her peer-reviewed honors include Martindale-Hubbell® AV Preeminent (2014–2025), Client Champion Platinum (2017–2025), Lawyers.com AV Preeminent, Avvo Top-Rated Lawyer (2018–2025), and numerous lifetime-achievement awards from America’s Most Honored Professionals, the Arizona Republic, and others.
