👋 Meet the Instructor Hi, I’m Gregory A. Riebesehl, an Arizona family law attorney and mediator with over 30 years of experience helping families navigate divorce, custody, and co-parenting transitions. I’m a second-generation family law attorney originally from New York, where I earned my Juris Doctor from St. John's University School of Law and began my legal career. In 1991, I moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where I practiced family law and mediation for decades before relocating to Sierra Vista in Cochise County in 2021. Today, I continue representing families throughout Southwest Arizona in both the courtroom and private mediation. I also hold a degree in psychology from SUNY Stony Brook, which strongly influences how I approach family law—especially when children are involved. I care deeply about helping parents reduce conflict and make decisions that truly serve their children. Having gone through divorce myself, I understand how emotional and overwhelming this process can be. My goal is to help families move forward with clarity, cooperation, and compassion—putting children first and finding positive paths into the future. On a personal note, I’m happily married to my best friend, Kelli, and together we have three children—two girls and a boy. Outside of work, I enjoy many hobbies, especially riding my Can-Am Spyder. I’m glad you’re here, and I look forward to supporting you as you work toward healthier, more cooperative co-parenting. 👋 Introduce Yourself (If You’d Like) When you’re ready, feel free to introduce yourself and share a little about where you are in your co-parenting journey. Please keep details general and respectful—this is a shared space, and it’s best to keep private or identifying information private. Thank you for helping keep this community supportive and safe for everyone.
