Adriana M. Orman is a seasoned litigator who represents clients in complex family law, juvenile, and criminal matters throughout Arizona. While she is a strong courtroom advocate and fully prepared to litigate contested issues, Ms. Orman is equally committed to identifying practical, cost-effective, and thoughtful resolutions whenever possible. Her approach is strategic and deliberate, with an emphasis on minimizing unnecessary conflict and guiding clients toward the least painful path to resolution without sacrificing effective advocacy.

Central to Ms. Orman’s philosophy is client education. She believes that informed clients make better decisions, and she prioritizes explaining the legal process, procedural posture, and realistic expectations at every stage of a case. By demystifying the law and litigation process, she empowers clients to participate meaningfully in their cases and reduces the stress and uncertainty that often accompany legal disputes.

Ms. Orman holds both a master’s degree and a law degree. Prior to attending law school, she worked as an elementary school teacher, an experience that continues to inform her practice today. Her background in education shapes her clear communication style, patience, and ability to break down complex legal concepts—particularly in matters involving families, children, and high-conflict dynamics.

During law school, Ms. Orman was the recipient of numerous academic awards and was consistently recognized for excellence in legal writing. Her scholarship and research have been published in respected legal and professional journals. She is the author of an article published in the Arizona Attorney Magazine (2022) and has also been published in the Journal of Public Policy and Practice (Mitchell Hamline School of Law) for her research examining education systems on the Navajo Nation.

Known for her meticulous preparation and steady courtroom presence, Ms. Orman balances firm advocacy with a solutions-oriented mindset. Whether negotiating a resolution or litigating disputed issues before the court, her goal remains the same: to provide clients with clear guidance, skilled representation, and a path forward grounded in both legal strength and practical judgment.
