MODERN LAW

A consultation is one of the most important steps you can take in a family law case. It gives you clarity, direction, and a clear understanding of your options under Arizona law. Booking online also helps us get you scheduled sooner.

• You need to file a case or have been served with court papers
• You want to understand your rights before taking action
• You need a second opinion on an ongoing family law matter
• You are comparing attorneys to find the right fit

You feel stuck or unsure about your next step

Most consultations are held via Zoom or phone. We prefer Zoom because it allows for better connection and screen sharing. If you need extra privacy or help with technology, you can visit our Mesa or Peoria offices and meet with your attorney via Zoom there.

You may meet with an attorney or a family law legal paraprofessional. Modern Law works as a collaborative team, so when you hire us, you benefit from the collective experience of our attorneys.

The professional you meet with may not ultimately be the best fit for your case. Our team reviews availability, case type, and personality fit to ensure you are matched with the right person. Consultations are recorded so nothing is lost if your case is reassigned internally.

Yes. If you prefer frequent in-person meetings, you may want to work with someone near you. That said, many of our clients live outside the county or out of state, and we are highly experienced in handling cases virtually. Many Arizona hearings and mediations also take place online.

We offer free consultations during designated pro bono days.
Our standard consultation fees are:

• Attorney consultation: $250
• Family law legal paraprofessional consultation: $150
• Promotions may be available from time to time.

• Attorney and family law legal paraprofessional consultations last up to one hour
• Legal document preparer consultations last up to 30 minutes

If you are a returning client, yes.

If we have not worked with you before, we strongly recommend starting with a consultation so we can understand your situation and provide proper guidance.

This is not a sales call. Your consultation is a strategy-focused conversation where we:

• Learn about your situation
• Explain how Arizona family law applies to your case
• Discuss options, risks, and next steps
• Answer your questions honestly and clearly

You will leave with real information and direction.

We require:

• Your name
• Email address
• Phone number
• Name of the opposing party

We also need to confirm jurisdiction. Modern Law practices only in Arizona.
You may upload documents ahead of time if you would like them reviewed during your consultation.

Not always. Many Arizona family law cases resolve through negotiation or mediation. Court is sometimes necessary, but it is not always required.

Yes. We frequently help clients who are mid-case, including those who need new representation, a second opinion, or help correcting a strategy.

Yes. We offer flexible options, including limited-scope services, legal coaching, and document assistance depending on your needs and budget.

We offer multiple service levels and resources, including legal paraprofessionals, document preparation, and the Modern Divorce Navigator, to help make legal guidance more accessible.
