Annabelle Abel
Family Law Attorney
Annabelle Abel is a compassionate, experienced, and dedicated associate family law attorney with Cantor Law Group. Annabelle was born in Franklin, Tennessee, but spent the majority of her childhood in Cave Creek, Arizona. From a very early age it was clear to Annabelle that the beautiful Arizona desert would be her permanent home.
Annabelle received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Arizona Honors College where she majored in Public Policy and Criminal Justice. While at the University of Arizona, Annabelle served as a campus tour guide, an Ambassador for the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, and she held several leadership positions within her Greek organization.
After receiving her undergraduate degree, Annabelle attended Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law, where she received her Juris Doctor. While in law school, Annabelle was selected as a student mediator for the Lodestar Mediation Clinic, where she assisted the public by mediating a wide array of civil cases for the Justice Courts of Maricopa County. Additionally, Annabelle worked for a boutique family law firm where she initially became enamored with the practice of family law. After completing her first family law internship, Annabelle focused her third year of law school on classes and experiences that would serve her as an aspiring family law attorney. One such class was Community Property Law, where Annabelle obtained the CALI Excellence for the Future Award.
After law school, Annabelle passed the Arizona State Bar Examination and began her practice as a family law attorney. As a practicing family law attorney, Annabelle has litigated a wide variety of cases throughout the State of Arizona, including contested custody matters, relocations, complex dissolution cases, jurisdictional disputes, domestic violence issues, and annulments. While Annabelle enjoys tirelessly advocating for her clients in Court, Annabelle also understands the value of settlement and mediation and uses her experience as a Justice Court Mediator to assist her clients in reaching amicable settlement agreements when possible and beneficial.
Annabelle is intimately aware of the toll that family law matters take on her clients, both emotionally and financially. As such, Annabelle strives to provide each of her clients with the knowledge, confidence, and tools necessary to endure each case.
In her free time, Annabelle enjoys spending time with her partner and her rescue dog, Rhett. On the weekends, Annabelle enjoys cheering on the Arizona Wildcats, trying out new restaurants, and hosting dinner parties for her friends and family.

Fantastic office, clean, and amazing artwork. Plus final boss sour!Posted on Kevin McDermottTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with Nick Boca and Robyn McCraw. I felt I was in the best of hands from the beginning. They were clear and upfront at all times with their communication and instruction. Any divorce is a difficult time, and Nick and Robyn understand that. Their compassion for my situation and professionalism in how they handled my case stood out the most. I would highly recommend their services to anyone going through a difficult divorce. KMPosted on PeggyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cantor Law Group came as a recommendation from a family friend, and I am so grateful that this led me to speak with Nicholas Boca. Nik represented me in a complicated divorce which detailed a substantial claim of waste that spanned my 25-year marriage. He was very straightforward and honest and worked purposefully on my behalf at all times. He was empathetic to my situation and found ways to navigate difficult challenges unique to my case. Perhaps most importantly, he understood the importance of bringing closure to my situation and did his best to avoid unnecessary legal expenses. His methods to find resolution required wisdom and experienced practice of law. My heartfelt gratitude also extends to Robyn and Amanda. This was a team effort. Amanda’s knowledge of law, Robyn’s organizational skills and instinctive nature were invaluable. My “team” at Cantor Law Group cared. My case mattered, I mattered, my family mattered. From the front desk to the billing department, everyone handled my inquiries and needs without delay. Each person I interacted with seemed to know me personally and I felt reassured they were all working together to achieve the best possible outcome. Cantor Law Group has an excellent reputation amongst the experts. It was extremely reassuring knowing that the work ethic and professionalism of Cantor Law Group is respected by both the experts and the court. I would HIGHLY recommend Cantor Law group.Posted on Ayoub AbouriTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Met with Jason for a consultation. He was very honest and upfront. I appreciate the advice and information. I’m very happy I came in and even though I did not hire them I highly recommend them.Posted on Mike LaForestTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. All the attorneys are exceptional and they all work collaboratively on your case. While I worked closely with David, the other attorney's where always up to date and provided unparalleled guidance. Bottom line, they are a cut above and they deliver. You get what you pay for. If it matters, talk to DM Cantor.
