About Us
Your family law team, since 2010.
Our Mission
High-quality legal support for Arizona families.
Since 2010, we’ve focused exclusively on family law to give clients the best possible guidance during life’s most difficult transitions. Our mission is to deliver clear, reliable, and effective legal help, so you can make informed decisions and move forward with confidence.
Our Vision
To raise the standard for family law services.
We believe every family deserves excellent legal support—whether in court, mediation, or self-representation. Our vision is to lead the way in family law by combining experienced attorneys, helpful tools, and a supportive team committed to doing things better.
Built from Experience.
Driven by Purpose.
Modern Law was founded in 2010 by attorney Billie Tarascio in Mesa, Arizona. The inspiration? A deeply personal one. After witnessing the emotional and financial toll of her own parents’ divorce, Billie saw how inaccessible and intimidating the legal system could be. She set out to change that.
What started as a solo practice has grown into one of Arizona’s leading family law firms, with a clear mission to provide affordable, compassionate, and effective legal support to families going through change.
Over the years, we’ve expanded beyond the East Valley, opening offices across the state. Our services have evolved too, from courtroom representation to tech-powered tools, coaching, mediation, and online legal education. But our purpose hasn’t changed: we help people move forward.
Creative. Optimistic.
Brave. Empathetic.
At Modern Law, our culture is shaped by our COBE values: Creativity, Optimism, Bravery, and Empathy. These aren’t just words on a wall; they guide how we serve clients, support each other, and grow as a team.
- Creativity: We think beyond the traditional law firm model. From legal tech tools to flexible representation, we constantly explore smarter, more human ways to help families.
- Optimism: Divorce is tough, but we lead with hope. We believe in better outcomes and work hard to help clients build a stronger future.
- Bravery: We stand up for what’s right, even when it’s hard. Our team faces challenges head-on, advocating boldly for every client who walks through our doors.
- Empathy: We listen without judgment and meet people where they are. Every case is personal, and we treat it that way.
We’re proud to be a woman-led team of professionals who live these values every day, and who are committed to changing the way family law is done.

What Makes Us Different
Modern problems require modern legal solutions.
At Modern Law, we believe legal support should be flexible, empowering, and tailored to your unique situation. Whether you want full representation or just need a little help along the way, we’re here to meet you where you are, with options that work for real people and real life.
1. Legal Support, Your Way
Unbundled Legal Services
Not everyone needs a full legal team. Sometimes, you just need help drafting a document, preparing for a hearing, or reviewing your options. That’s why we offer unbundled services—so you can get exactly the help you need, when you need it, without overpaying for what you don’t.
2. Affordable Help You Can Trust
Modern Law Clinic
Through our clinic, certified law students, supervised by experienced attorneys, provide limited-scope legal support at a fraction of the cost. It’s a powerful way to get quality assistance with forms, filings, or strategy sessions while staying within your budget.
3. DIY Without Doing It Alone
Modern Divorce Navigator
Our monthly membership program is designed for those representing themselves but still want expert guidance. Get weekly live Q&As with attorney Billie Tarascio, legal checklists, video lessons, and a private community where you’re never left guessing what to do next.
4. Tools to Help You Prepare Like a Pro
Online Resources
From spousal maintenance estimators and child support calculators to detailed guides, templates, and video explainers—we equip you with everything you need to better understand your case and your rights. Education is empowerment, and we’re committed to making legal knowledge accessible.
Our Team
Experienced, approachable, and here to help.
We bring legal skill and real support, no fluff, just people who care about getting it right.
