I was nervous about calling, I spoke with Anna and she was so sweet I forgot I was even nervous. She made the process simple, I was able to be connected with an attorney right away. Sydney was the attorney I spoke with, she was really informative and easy to speak with. She gave me a lot of advice and was willing to answer my questions over the phone. I highly recommend their services

Shannon was wonderful! In addition to being kind and sympathetic towards my situation, she was also knowledgable and direct. She was able to answer all of my many, many questions, and made me feel comfortable in my decision to work with her and her law firm.

I wanted to share how impressed I was with Adam Newhouse, from our first conversation together about my case, right up until we won in the end. Stacy Talyanker played an integral in our success as well, and a special shout out to Arantxa Prince for steeping in at the last minute for a hearing. I would highly recommend this Firm for any of the services they provide, and I will certainly be using them again in the future!

I highly recommend Modern Family Law. Zack Quaratella defended me in family court and got my kids back to me within a week. We didn't have to settle or bend to the persuasions of the petitioners council and I feel like my life is now back on track to being normal and we can start rebuilding life with my kids.As a father of three who loves his children deeply- I was shocked when one night after coming home from my second job the police showed up at my house along with my Ex Wife and removed my children from my care. It broke my heart and honestly I felt like my world was turned up-side down and I truly felt lost and heartbroken as to why that happened. I was up for 36 hours- no sleep at all, trying to figure out what I could do to get my kids back. I was truly feeling hopeless. I spoke with other lawyers who simpathized but made it clear that a man working two jobs to get by would not be able to afford their retainer, and after they advised of the cost of their retainer- they were right. But then when I reached out to Modern Family Law they set up a free consultation with Zack Quaratella, and he called me back right away and everything changed. Zack was not only empathetic, caring and compassionate, he was able to work with my situation and I was able to retain him that same day. Zack got to work and my wife and I went to his office two days later to prepare our defense. Aside from the attributes listed above, Zack believed in me and believed we could get my kids back. He was positive and supportive the entire time, not to mention quick to communicate any change made by the petitioners council. I can't thank Zack enough, he helped me rebound from one of the most worrisome and hopeless moments in my entire life and defended me and went to battle on our behalf. He truly was a champion for my whole family, my faith and my relationship with my kids. Zack- from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.

If you want an attorney that will fight for you, look elsewhere. I was paired with Grace Riley to handle my recent custody/child support case. She is a very sweet person, but unfortunately, that's her weakness as an attorney. She has zero fight in her. A little background - I was trying to establish a parenting agreement in writing for the first time. My child is 11 years old and we have had the same handshake custody agreement for those 11 years. No child support had ever been established. I started the case unrepresented, assuming it should have been extremely straightforward, keeping our parenting time the same and we even agreed upon child support and signed the parenting plan together. My ex's attorney rejected the signed agreement based on his own opinion that child support should be lower. I decided to lawyer up at that point, and Grace sold me in our consultation. She said what they were asking for was ridiculous, blah blah. As soon as I pay the $5,000 retainer, her tune changes. Suddenly, if we go to court, they could technically ask for a higher income impunity and lower support. So our best bet was to negotiate with them. Unfortunately, Grace is a very expensive, yet ineffective negotiator. I quickly got used to reading two things over and over in our emails: "Opposing counsel has not accepted our offer" and "You have an invoice due." Over the course of two months of representation, I was billed $5,896 (and that was on top of the retainer!) All that for lackluster representation. There were multiple instances of me having to point out to Grace when something was written in forms that were filed in the case before she was hired on. Mind you, I was billed for the time she spent reviewing the case once she was hired, so did you actually read the forms, or just charge me for it? There was even an instance where my ex's attorney mixed up our court dates and and wrote her "we can discuss after court tomorrow" when the hearing was in fact that day. Grace made it a point to remind him that court was that day, and while he was late to the hearing, thanks to her correction, he did show up. That's Grace... always looking out for the OTHER guy. I could say "just avoid using Grace," but the reality is there were multiple "conferences" between her and Modern Family's senior attorney, Nicholas Tootalian, which I remember well as I had the joy of being double-billed for those, paying her rate as well as his rate for their time together. His expertise didn't lead to any success on the negotiating end for Grace, so... money well spent. Financially, I was tapped, and I found myself up against a wall. In two months, she hadn't gotten me anything I had asked for and I couldn't afford to pay her anything else. I told her I was very unhappy with her performance and that I had no choice but to agree to everything the opposing side was suggesting in order to close the case. All she could say was "we could start over, we don't have to agree to anything you don't want to, we could take it to court" Like she didn't even hear me saying I can't afford to pay you $6k every two months for you to keep negotiating and getting nowhere. So here we are, my case is closed, the order has been filed. Compared to the original agreement I negotiated with my ex: Child support has gone down, holiday time is more limited, I will receive no reimbursement for medical expenses unless they exceed $250, and I have to cater to summer vacation requests on my time. For the low price of $5,896 you too can have results like these, just use Modern Family! Hahaha. I have to laugh or I'd cry. Also, just a random extra note - when your case is concluded, Modern Family sends you a satisfaction survey and claims you get a $20 amazon gift card if you complete it. I mentioned all of this in my survey and no one has followed up or even acknowledged my terrible experience. Also, never received the gift card. Just steer clear, trust me.
