Here to Help Families Move Forward

Adriana M. Orman is an experienced 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 compromising effective advocacy.

Client education is central to Ms. Orman’s practice. She believes informed clients are better equipped to make difficult decisions, and she prioritizes explaining the legal process, procedural posture, available options, and realistic expectations at every stage of a case. By making the law and litigation process more understandable, she empowers clients to participate meaningfully in their representation and reduces much of the uncertainty that often accompanies legal disputes.

Ms. Orman holds both a master’s degree and a law degree. Before attending law school, she worked as an elementary school teacher, an experience that continues to influence her practice today. Her background in education shaped her clear communication style, patience, and ability to break down complex concepts in a practical and accessible way—skills that are particularly valuable in matters involving families, children, and high-conflict dynamics.

During law school, Ms. Orman received numerous academic honors and was consistently recognized for excellence in legal writing. Her scholarship and research have been published in legal and professional journals, including an article in Arizona Attorney Magazine in 2022. Her research examining education systems on the Navajo Nation was also published in the Journal of Public Policy and Practice at Mitchell Hamline School of Law.

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

Accolades

While in law school, Adriana was the recipient of numerous competitive scholarships, grants, and academic honors, including the Native Justice Scholarship and the Student Merit Award upon graduation. She was also recognized for excellence in legal writing and oral advocacy, including participation in the Rosalie Wahl Moot Court Competition and the National Native American Moot Court Competition.

Adriana’s commitment to public service and advocacy is reflected in her legal training and experience. During law school, she interned in Washington, D.C., at the Center for Law and Education, and with Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid’s Youth Law Project, where she focused on issues impacting children and underserved communities.

She has authored and published multiple legal articles, including work featured in the Arizona Attorney Magazine, and her skills as an advocate have been recognized by legal colleagues and members of the judiciary alike.
