Clare and Danika at Modern Family law were great! They was thorough, they were fast and they were on top of it. They also made sure to help educate me in areas that may have not been as clear to me going in. I would highly recommend them. They are true advocates for father’s rights.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience working with Austin Modern Family Law firm team to work through court cases that I needed handled. I retained Clare Mattione through a prior firm and I was so pleased with her professionalism and expertise that I continued to retain her services while she transitioned to her new firm, Modern Family Law. Clare was clear, concise, and provided timely communication during the course of about a two-year trial. Clare met my needs, provided guidance and navigated the legal field with expertise.Danika Moran was also very helpful with filing and requesting documents and communications during the trial. Everything was handled in a timely manner and with the utmost professionalism.Overall I was throughly pleased with my experience and would highly recommended the Austin Modern Family Law Firm & would once again like to thank Clare for representing my family and I during our case.

When looking for a law firm that could help with the case of my siblings and I, I didn’t really know where to look. As soon as I reached out to the Modern Family Firm I was greeted by my lawyer Jasmine Bhatt, she right away made me feel understood and welcomed. My lawyer and her paralegal Danika Moran made the process of my case very stress free. I appreciate all their help and definitely recommend them to anyone that needs help with family cases! 😊

My attorney Clare Mattione was fantastic. She is very knowledgeable and definitely knew the law as it pertained to my case . When I had questions she answered them promptly and made sure I understood each point before moving on. Extremely professional but also very understanding and compassionate toward my situation. It was a slow moving case but Clare made sure to keep things moving forward and always kept me up to date on the status of my case. She worked with Danika Moran, who was equally amazing, and handled my case with care. We just wrapped it up and I could not have been happier with the team and experience I had with both of them. Would absolutely recommend Clare to anyone in need of her services.

J. and Jessica were kind, compassionate, and caring. I was 100% comfortable discussing my situation and they made me feel safe. While I hope not many people have to go through the pain of a divorce, these folks are great if you have to!

Working with J. Riggs at Modern Family Law during my divorce was a blessing. We never met in person but that didn't prevent us from connecting in a way that made me feel that he was looking out for my interest and not just going along the process in a cookie cutter way. They explained the steps of what to expect before and as it was taking place and really made the divorce as stress free as you can get when going through a divorce. Thank you J!

Went through a messy divorce and Clare was able to get a good amount of my possessions back including my vital documents like birth certificate and SSN card which he had refused to give back. It wasn’t a fun process but I was very pleased with her help! Clare was very attentive to my needs, guided me through the court process, and helped me set realistic expectations for outcomes. Thank you again.

J. and the team were really great to deal with! He was super responsive anytime I had any questions and easy to get a hold of. Dealing with lawyers is generally never a fun thing to do, but J. made the experience pleasant and I really felt like I was in good hands. Thank you again!

Going through a divorce and custody was not fun but J. got me through it. The whole team was responsive and knowledgeable about how the custody process worked and what I needed to do to get custody of my children. My first attorney (different law firm) charged a low retainer, so I thought I was getting a deal, but they quit on me when a bigger case came along! Modern Family Law was experienced and they were up front with me about costs and what I should expect from them. For the experience they gave and how responsive they were, they were worth every penny!!

What Are Family Law Attorneys?

A family law attorney is a lawyer who handles legal issues that relate to your relationship with your family. They can represent you in court proceedings, advocate for you during negotiations, draft documents such as petitions and property agreements, and provide general counsel. There is a wide array of legal issues that a family law attorney can assist with. Below are a few of the items you could expect a family lawyer to specialize in:

 

  • Filing for dissolution of marriage
  • Representing parties involved in disputes concerning the caretaking or distribution of property jointly owned by an unmarried couple
  • Negotiating child custody and child support agreements
  • Assisting with alimony agreements
  • Helping with adoption
  • Acting as guardian ad litem for children
  • Establishing paternity
  • Prenuptial agreements

Why You Should Hire
A Family Law Attorney?

When it comes to family law cases, hiring a family law attorney is the best way to ensure that your case will go as smoothly as possible. Divorce, child custody, and spousal support are all complicated matters which can result in a lot of emotional upheaval for those involved. It can be overwhelming trying to determine what aspects of your court case you need help with when there’s so much else going on. That’s where an experienced attorney specializing in family law comes in as they’ll advise you on how best to proceed and handle your situation for the betterment of yourself and everyone involved. If you’re facing a difficult legal matter involving marriage or children, don’t go at it alone-hire an expert! Here are a few of the reasons why it’s important to hire a family law attorney:

 

1. Understanding of Family Laws and the Legal Process

The foremost reason why it’s a good idea to hire a family lawyer is that they know and understand the laws involved in family law cases. The legal system can be a complicated and daunting place, which can be difficult to navigate for the layperson. An experienced family law attorney will be able to guide you through the process, making sure that your time and money are not wasted on things that don’t matter or won’t end up helping your case.

 

2. Provide an Impartial View of Your Family Matter

Contacting a family law attorney can provide you with an impartial perspective on your situation. They are free of any emotional involvement in your case, and they will examine all the details from all perspectives to determine what should happen for an amicable resolution. In this way, lawyers are often well equipped to see things more clearly than anyone else and have the experience to provide invaluable insights into the best course of action for a successful outcome to family matters.

 

3. Support & Counseling

Family law attorneys are trained not only to work with local law but also with their clients. They provide emotional support and guidance as you navigate these difficult times of your life, wanting to make things easier for everyone involved. Having seen other individuals manage similar situations, they can empathize with the stressful emotions in your case while helping you refocus on a better future.

4. Saving Time & Money

Legal fees and going to court costs a lot of money and it takes a lot of time away from your already busy life. You can save yourself both time and money by hiring a family law attorney. A family law attorney knows exactly how to avoid going to court or how to easily and fairly solve minor family disputes. Going to court is not always necessary, and it can be very expensive both financially and taxing emotionally for everyone involved. Hiring an experienced trustworthy family lawyer can pay off in a big way by saving you valuable time and money.

 

5. Helping You Plan for the Future

A good family law attorney doesn’t only help you with your current legal situation, they also offer counseling to help you prepare for the future. With an experienced family law attorney, it becomes easier to deal with difficult situations like divorce or a child custody battle. Having professional guidance from someone who knows what they’re doing rather than going through this alone ensures that everything goes smoothly without causing more stress or harm than necessary. Alleviating some of the stresses involved in a legal matter helps individuals focus on preparing for a fresh start after putting their case behind them. Family law attorneys can also prepare individuals for any possible future actions arising from their current case.
