I am so glad I found Sarah Bounar! She is incredibly intelligent, understanding, and respectful. I attempted to go through the divorce process without an attorney but having her guidance and expertise has made the process feel seamless. I am grateful to have her in my corner, she is truly the best attorney and always has my best interest in mind. I highly recommend her for anyone navigating a divorce!

Absolutely phenomenal. Hamza Atai is an amazing lawyer who fights for you at any time of the day any time of the week. I have never had any experience with the courts or law system but he explained everything to the T, addressed all my concerns and ultimately resulting in my personal success. I am going to be reunited with my son and got everything I wanted. If you don’t know where to look for help, ask for Hamza Atai. It is good to know there are people who will look out for your best interest and fight for you. This investment is the best money I could have put towards my situation and I am so glad I did choose to ask for help from a law firm. The team is great with communication, easing your concerns , and going above and beyond. You can tell they care and work extremely hard to fight for you. 10/10 service. Definitely recommend Hamza Atai. I will be keeping his contact info in my back pocket for future reference if I ever needed it. Hiring him was the best decision I made to fight for my family.

I hired Sarah Bounar at Modern Family Law during a very stressful divorce and restraining order case. Sarah took my concerns seriously, helped organize an extensive amount of evidence, and prepared me for a lengthy, highly contested trial. Throughout the process, Sarah was incredibly knowledgeable, understanding, and attentive to detail. Her preparation and advocacy helped us succeed at trial. I wanted to recognize Sarah and her team for helping me through this difficult stage. I would recommend them to anyone facing a serious, contested family law matter.
