Elizabeth O. Ayodele
Hi, I’m Elizabeth Ayodele and I like to utilize the law to help clients and businesses accomplish their best outcome.
I represent Arizona business and consumer clients to help them address and handle a broad range of legal issues including business contractual disputes, debt litigation, landlord-tenant issues, employment law issues and personal injury. My years of work in consumer debt litigation and eviction matters have given me a good experience with trying to work out settlement agreements until the last minute possible.
One of my proudest career moments was finally winning a settlement for a homeowner in a real estate case against a major banking institution that had gone on for many years before I was even the attorney on the case.
I felt drawn toward a legal career since I was a teenager because I felt it offered the opportunity to advocate for those in need and make useful impact.
Both universities I graduated from, Cornell University and Pepperdine University, are widely considered to be the most beautiful campuses in the country.
Bebe M. Bales
Hi, I’m Bebe. I enjoy making complex legal concepts easily accessible for everyone to understand.
My practical experience has focused on a range of business, real estate, and family law matters with an emphasis on legal research and analysis, corporate and regulatory compliance, contract drafting and negotiation, premarital asset protection, and non-contested dissolution and settlements.
I am humbled by the clients I serve and consider their success and satisfaction to be my greatest achievement.
I seek to find solutions for my clients that empower them to reach their highest potential, whether it be through business or family. When I am not assisting clients, I also teach courses in Business Law, International Business, Sociology, and Law and Ethics.
I became a lawyer to help make people’s lives better.
​
In my pre-lawyer life I was a competitive figure skater.
Shannon R. Borden
Hi, I’m Shannon Borden. I am an effective attorney because I am not only experienced, but I also truly care about my clients and their legal experience with me. I’ve acquired expertise in business & commercial law, transactions, labor & employment law, as well as estate law, including probate. I constantly strive to provide sound counsel, leveraging my legal experience and MBA to develop strategies to resolve legal challenges and position my clients for ongoing success. I am proud to assist my clients in achieving their business and estate planning goals. In my free time I love to read, hike, ride motorcycles and go camping with my wonderful husband and our three pooches.
I was inspired to practice law by my grandfather who had one of the first international law firms in Las Vegas.
I was a professional Muay Thai fighter in my 20’s.
Deborah R. Bronner
Hi, I’m Deborah R. Bronner, an attorney whose law career has spanned more than 30 years.
I listen carefully to the details of my clients’ stories about their legal problems, and offer compassionate advice that gets results.
Since the mortgage crisis of 2008 began, I have provided legal services to homeowners in distress. In January 2016, Investopedia named me as one of the five best real estate attorneys in Los Angeles.
My clients have overwhelmingly appreciated my availability, and my success at solving their legal problems. In addition to practicing law, I have been a lifelong entrepreneur and real estate investor. I relax by exercising, cooking and socializing with friends and family.
Eduardo J. Celaya
Hi, I'm Ed. I have made a career of solving my clients' problems.
For 25 years, I have represented clients in the state of Arizona on a variety of legal matters, including contracts, business, bankruptcy, personal injury, and employment. I have handled cases from the initial consultation to a successful jury trial.
​
One of my proudest moments was helping a client save his family home from foreclosure.
I always place myself in my clients' shoes to better understand and empathize with my client. I treat my clients the way I would want to be treated, with understanding, respect, and kindness.
Jeff B. Cloud
Hi, I’m Jeff. As an attorney, I believe I am in a unique position to help people. I have been practicing law for over ten years and have experience helping clients in many areas of the law.
I’ve worked in both criminal and civil litigation and for a financial company as an in-house attorney practicing estate planning. In my experience, most favorable resolutions come from being a creative problem solver and using a commonsense approach.
There are two moments that I can identify as the proudest of my career. The first was winning my first trial. I never intended on being a litigator, but after going into court questioning the State’s case and laying out my client’s defense, I knew I’d won before the judge even announced the verdict. That win vindicated my career at that point.
The second moment came after giving a presentation at a large continuing legal education conference. The room was packed full of attorneys, with people sitting on the floor in the back because the room was out of chairs. After finishing the presentation, the majority of the attendees wanted my PowerPoint Presentation to be sent out via email. It was too big for the organizer’s server, so the head organizer had to send it out directly. When I arranged it with him, he said “remind me what presentation you did again?” After I told him, he replied “it shocked me how many people signed up for that one.” The entire experience made me realize that other attorneys cared about what I had to say as an attorney.
Beau M. Citron
Hi, I am Beau. I am an entrepreneur and business executive at heart but also happen to be a licensed attorney. This translates very well into taking real world scenarios and transferring them into the business world.
​
I have many years as a practicing civil litigator, business owner, business investor and business operator. In working with clients, I believe in great response time, customer service, and straight forward communication.
The law can be scary but working with me, it doesn’t have to be.
​
The law is a powerful tool and it is one that should be used wisely.

​
My previous work and experience as an attorney has taught me both the legal practice skills and customer service skills that allow me to tackle complex cases and resolve them to my client's satisfaction.

As an attorney, I have learned to think logically and practically about legal issues and suggest the most efficient ways to distill and handle them.

I believe that every problem has a solution.
One of my proudest moments was winning awards for best brief and best oral argument in moot court in law school. I was also very proud when I was able to prevail in a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision which had a tremendous positive impact on my client’s financial affairs.
I value my ability to assist my clients by educating them about their unique situation and informing them of their legal rights, as well as, suggesting ideas for resolution or strategies for managing different legal situations that may arise. My priorities are to listen to my clients and always keep their respective goals in mind.
