Elisabeth Ori
Family Law Attorney
Elisabeth Ori is a compassionate and results-driven family law attorney dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate some of life’s most personal and complex legal challenges. Her practice focuses on divorce, legal decision-making and parenting time, child support, spousal maintenance, and post-decree matters. Elisabeth is committed to guiding clients through emotionally difficult transitions with clarity, strength, and practical solutions tailored to their goals.
In addition to her family law practice, Elisabeth brings valuable experience in estate planning, probate, and estate administration. This complementary background allows her to effectively address issues that frequently overlap with family law matters, including asset division, long-term financial planning, and protecting clients’ and their children’s futures. She offers a comprehensive perspective that is especially beneficial in high-asset or complex cases.
A certified mediator with formal training in alternative dispute resolution, Elisabeth strives to resolve conflicts efficiently and amicably whenever possible. She is skilled at managing sensitive family dynamics and reducing unnecessary conflict, while remaining a strong and strategic advocate when litigation is required.
Elisabeth began her legal career in Chicago, Illinois, in civil litigation, representing clients in insurance defense matters and gaining extensive courtroom experience. She later broadened her practice to include family law, estate and probate matters, corporate, and real estate, and ultimately founded her own firm. Her diverse legal background provides her with a well-rounded understanding of the financial and legal complexities often present in family law cases.
After being admitted to the Arizona bar in 2021, Elisabeth practiced with a litigation firm handling complex cases, including medical negligence and product liability defense, further refining her advocacy skills. She now focuses her practice on family law, while continuing to draw on her experience in estate and probate matters to provide clients with thorough and forward-looking legal guidance.
Elisabeth believes that effective family law representation goes beyond resolving disputes and is about helping clients move forward, protect what matters most, and build a stable future. At DM Cantor’s Family Law Practice, she is dedicated to delivering thoughtful counsel, personalized attention, and strong advocacy at every stage of the process.
Outside the office, Elisabeth enjoys spending time with her four (almost) grown children, practicing yoga, and staying active outdoors. She is passionate about supporting the arts, discovering new restaurants, and traveling. A lifelong Chicago sports fan, she also proudly cheers for the Phoenix Suns.

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.
