Desert Legal Group – Phoenix, AZ

Modern Family and Criminal Law Representation

Desert Legal Group represents a new generation of legal practice in Phoenix, Arizona. Founded in 2016 by attorney Cory Keith, the firm was built on a philosophy of modernizing the legal experience. They reject the outdated, impersonal ‘law firm’ model in favor of a client-centric approach that emphasizes transparency, technology, and genuine human connection. Their motto, ‘Advocating for our clients the way we would want to be represented,’ drives every interaction, ensuring that clients feel supported rather than intimidated by the legal process.

The firm specializes in two of the most emotionally charged areas of law: Family Law and Criminal Defense. The attorneys at Desert Legal Group understand that people usually seek their help during the worst times of their lives-whether they are facing the end of a marriage or the prospect of criminal conviction. To combat the stress of these situations, the firm utilizes advanced practice management tools to streamline communication, allowing their legal team to focus more on strategy and advocacy and less on administrative bottlenecks.
