Nicholas Walters - Phoenix, AZ

Nicholas Walters offers a diverse legal background and a results-oriented approach to his family law practice at DM Cantor’s Family Law Practice. Licensed in Arizona since 2009 and Nevada since 2010, he manages a wide range of family law cases and is recognized for his thorough preparation, confident courtroom demeanor, and practical, solution-focused mindset.

Coming from Ohio, Nicholas earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Toledo College of Law. After graduation, he completed a judicial clerkship with the Seventh Judicial District Court for the State of Nevada, where he gained firsthand experience in trial court operations, evidentiary procedures, and the factors influencing judicial decisions. He then expanded his analytical skills over six years working in the tax and accounting fields. He spent three years with the Arizona Department of Revenue litigating administrative appeals of business tax assessments, followed by three years in public accounting, where he gained a comprehensive understanding of financial documents, asset and business structures, and valuation issues that now inform his family law practice.

Since 2016, Nicholas has dedicated his practice solely to family law. He has conducted over one hundred evidentiary hearings and negotiated numerous settlements, consistently aiming for outcomes that balance risk, expense, and long-term client goals. He emphasizes collaborative problem-solving and cost-effective resolution methods, operating under the principle that well-structured agreements often surpass lengthy litigation for most families and individuals.

Nicholas approaches each engagement with dual responsibility: as an advocate promoting his client’s position and as an advisor providing practical, strategic guidance. He is dedicated to helping clients navigate both the legal landscape and the real-world consequences of their decisions, ensuring clarity, alignment, and future stability at every stage of the process.
