Meet Our Interns
The next generation of legal talent, our interns practice and hone their skills at Modern Law, supporting self-represented Arizonans and assisting our attorneys in setting every case up for success.
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 MissionÂ
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.
Need Help with a Family Law Issue?
We’re here to listen, guide, and help you take the next step. Whether you’re ready to get started or just have questions, our team is ready to support you.
