I was recently divorced and worked with Craig Valentine on my case. My case was detailed and my situation complex, even complicated, and he took us on with enthusiasm. He was compassionate and understanding from the very first phone call, and optimistic that my goals could be reached, and consistent in his efforts to finish my case.My divorce was handled in a timely, professional fashion, and the paralegals assigned to my case were also very prompt, friendly, and helpful with keeping me updated and making sure I had all of the documentation I needed.From navigating paperwork to the counseling before court hearings, I was very satisfied with the experience, and highly recommend Craig and his team to those in need of legal advise or coordinationThank you Craig and Modern Family Law! .

Modern Family Law has treated my case with the utmost dignity and professionalism. From the very start, all my questions were answered, and my concerns were addressed. My attorney, Craig Valentine, has exceptional understanding of the law, and was able to bring to bear all his considerable knowledge and experience with great positive effect throughout the process. He was able to move the case forward, and towards a solution with every step taken.I rarely give my endorsement or review. However, I can absolutely recommend Craig Valentine and Modern Family Law without hesitation, and with my fullest confidence.Bruce Kring

Craig valentine had worked on my family court case, he was proficient and timely on handling the matters that needed to be handled. A lot of issues were resolved while he was on my case. Absolutely would recommend him or anyone on his team. His paralegal Trudy was also very helpful. Thank you guys so much for your time and effort!

I honestly had a beyond complicated custody case and was worried that no one was going to want to help me once they realized how much work it was going to be. I called MFL and I was connected with Kresten Hendrix. I explained my case to Kresten and he was attentive and understanding and I was thrilled when he told me he would take me as a client. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made because Mr. Hendrix absolutely was worth every penny. He continuously bent over backwards for me and my case. For the first time ever I felt like I had an advocate and I felt heard and so much less alone on this journey. Not only did Mr. Hendrix WIN my case, he won so much more in our hearing than what was expected!!! He is beyond brilliant, and his attention to detail helped every step of the way and I will continue to recommend Kresten and Modern Family Law to anyone whom is needing legal help!!!

Attorney Craig Valentine and his Paralegal Trudy went the extra mile for me in a very literal sense. Trudy drove 40+ miles to meet with me twice. Craig is a brilliant attorney. He was a strong voice of reason and peace in ending my 38-year marriage. I STRONGLY recommend Mr. Valentine and the entire law firm of MODERN FAMILY LAW.

Modern Family Law provided a great experience in a normally stressful time. Chelsea was honest, had great advice and direction. She was compassionate and kind. She was supportive of our LGBTQ needs and always made us feel comfortable. Furthermore, she had a great understanding of the law and how the courts might view our needs. I would absolutely recommend Chelsea. I always felt like Chelsea was working for me and had my (and my kids) best interest at heart!

Craig Valentine and Chelsea Hillman are terrible attorneys. MFL cares about taking your money, not about doing the job efficiently and correctly. They did not know the law concerning my case and it ended up costing me thousands. My closeout bill was $1700 and that was after Craig dropped my case because I quote from him my reputation is at stake after I refused to accept an insane proposal to the opposing party. MFL had led me down and been billing me for for months over things that had nothing to do with actual laws. The legal advice was simply unsubstantiated. Do yourself a favor and hire an actual professional with integrity. Although unlikely, If I have any legal recourse against MFL I will be pursuing it.

Chelsea Hillman handled my case.. i always got a quick and professional response and action taken if need be... My case was a semi difficult case as we owned a home (lots of other assets)together and had been married 10 plus years... Thanks to her high level of personal care, truley caring about the client, my outcome was much better than I could have hoped for.. I would highly recommend them!!! True professionals...

I retained Modern Family Law in 2019 to help me with a very contentious divorce. I unfortunately had to hire 3 different attorneys throughout my divorce and this was the worst of the bunch.First -- the paralegal straight up forwarded my communication to to my ex-husbands attorney. His attorney used it against me in court.When Jennifer would bill me, shed say I just had to get my hours in this week, so your bill might actually be lower. I paid about $35K in 6 months with this firm. I dont know if my bill was ever right. We were in court like 2-3 times and mediation once. $35K is a pretty hefty bill.When I finally switched attorneys because I was loosing confidence in what this firm was doing, they wouldnt send me any of the work they had billed me for. So motions that were billed as being written or drafted I never even got to see. I asked repeatedly for my file, and my new attorney did as well, and they just didnt respond.Super unprofessional and took it personally when I left rather than professionally or trying to retain my business.

I had the opportunity to meet with Kresten for guidance and was extremely pleased with the guidance I received. Kresten was forthcoming in providing the direction that was best for me, not just the firms bottom line. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a personable, down-to-earth attorney who has his clients best interests front of mind.

I had a pretty straight forward case, but it was great to have Chelsea Hillman watching my back and making sure that I had all the paperwork correct. They were also good at scheduling the appointments around my schedule, so all I had to do was show up with the paperwork. They also had names of a specialist I needed after it was all over.

After receiving an unfavorable family court decision on my last hearing, I contacted Chelsea Hillman to represent me in my custody adjustment case. She was very helpful and timely in responding to my questions. Her guidance helped me navigate my court case resulting in a more favorable out come for my family. I would highly recommend anyone to enlist her council.

Mark Bosworth is a fantastic child custody lawyer!! Hes thorough, compassionate, and diligent. He answered ALL of my questions, most of the time within the same business day that I asked. He was extremely professional during the whole process and especially in the courtroom. He said EXACTLY what I wanted to get across to the judge! Brilliant lawyer! He was fair with his prices and how he charged for the time he spent on preparation..dont complain about money talking about lawyers... lawyers cost money!! You get what you pay for, and we definitely got our moneys worth in this very last minute hire. Thank you so much Mark!! Also their Lead Paralegal Rene was very helpful, responsive and professional as well. They work fast and hard..

Im so thankful for this law firm, most importantly Chelsey Hillman and her team. I was nervous going into our case because my last experience wasnt the best, but they were so good at answering questions, helping me feel at ease and reassuring me through the whole process. Chelsey is so sweet but also gets right down to business and gets stuff done. We appreciate her and her team for everything they did for us. I would recommend them to anyone.

In my experience, needing the services of an attorney is a prominent indicator that I am at a peak level of stress in my life. And where family law is concerned, it means the stress is so much more personal, distressing, piercing and direct. That being said, in the same way that we have come to understand doctors as having bed side manner, attorneys really have something comparable... perhaps, we can call it, “desk side” manner. Chelsea and Kris have amazing “desk side” manner. No matter what we call it, the point is, when you are at an absolute low in your personal life and your stress is at an all time peak, having to take care of business with a stranger can feel awkward, stark, or even standoffish. This isn’t what one is looking for in a time like this. However, the team that is Kris and Chelsea is absolutely amazing. I have never had a group of professionals tune in to me and put me at ease as quickly as this team and especially Kris. Chelsea, as my attorney instills total confidence in me through her understanding of the law and how it effects me directly in my personal life.Kris, as my paralegal (and constant representation of my legal team) is where I feel truly heard, compassionately responded to and always handled with a professional sense of urgency. He can tease out my concerns in a muddled text and provide assurance that I am understood and that my concerns are legitimate, and that I will be supported by my attorney. He hears me, addresses me and checks back in on me. And then he is always going above and beyond to make sure I am as calm as I can be, and that I truly understand the place where I stand through the entire legal process. Currently, my life isn’t easy. My life is being destroyed by someone I trusted and loved. And these professionals are capable of letting me know and actively showing me that I have a team of people on my side working to support , protect and encourage me. They have as much of an interest in my well being as I do. And Kris is the compassionate, understanding representative of this team. I couldnt ask for more from a team of professionals in such a difficult time in my life. Thank you guys for being who you are.

Im not sure where to start. The process was a 10 month roller coaster. There were issues left and right, whether it was gathering my personal belongings and having subpar representation, spelling/grammatical errors left and right or not having the courage to ask for something in court. It was definitely a battle I dont think this firm was ready for. Had I known more information ahead of time, it would have saved me in the long run. Why they didnt stand up for me when I was ordered to pay spousal maintenance for a 3 month marriage is beyond me. In the end, even with all the proof/evidence, the judges in this very bias/sexist state, really dont care. Its unfortunate to say the least. Not bad people, just wouldnt do business with them again.

For my divorce, I was so glad I reached out to Modern Family Law and had Chelsea handle my case. I am pleased with the outcome and couldnt have done it on my own. It was worth having her represent me. I highly recommend them.

Mark Bosworth is amazing! After 7 years of a custody battle, he finally got me my child back. Very professional, compassionate and intelligent attorney. Always kept communication with me, even while on another case or in court. I never felt worry or fear with him. My 3 previous attorneys could never completely achieve success on my case. Mark is the only attorney that has truly helped my daughter and me. I owe alot to this man and this law firm. Thank you so much for giving me my heart again. And Rene, his paralegal...she is just a doll that is absolutely great to work with. Very helpful!

I love having Carrie Mohr as my attorney , she is an angel pie with a slice of pirate! Carrie helped me protect my Family. She helped me settle some long drawn out issues that other attorneys (that I was paying really good money for) wouldn’t touch with a 10 ft pole. Carrie has always kept my fees very minimal while going after the best possible outcome. She cares with all of her heart. I promise you, you will not be disappointed. Of course no one can guarantee a specific outcome in your favor. But if it’s due or in the best interest of your kids, Carrie will do everything she can to make it happen.

1. Been over 45 days still no refund on retainer. And was charge mail fee after case close for 60 days. $150. Had to call to remind them Im still waiting on the retainer refund.2. Paralegal took our already signed agreement notarized page and attachment to the non edit agreement file with court. We realized the mistake and let them know. They still charge us for the filing fee and time. Yes, we sent them the updated notarized copy. They charge us for saving it to our file.3. Took 6 Months for a case that both parties agreed on custody terms. Lack communication.

Stay away from this law firm, they will charge you for giving directions to their law firm... horrible experience, I paid over 4600.00 for three court reports and one had to be amended. Stay clear of Modern Family Law.. would not recommend. The paralegal gave me directions, I went to your old office and was not informed that you moved to another location. I should not be charged for directions. It was not a good experience and would not recommend their service.

If I could put -5 stars I would! My attorney was Carrie Mohr she was great while she was getting paid but then the case closed she was no longer needed I was billed for my last payment I paid then I get a bill for $2800!!!!! A whole month after the case never even received my retainer and No one has got back to me about it then 2 months later I get another bill of $100 this place is a joke! I regret not letting the reviews impact my decision. Definitely do not recommend using modern family law unless you’re ok with lack of communication and horrible accounting that can’t even explain what you’re being charged for after no longer being a client

They only care about your money and not you. They tell you a bunch of stuff then go back on it. They nickle and dime you. Kyle will say he called you but no record or voicemails so just lies to make it seem like they care. Carrie Mohr will tell you one thing then go behind your back and say another thing. Carrie and Kyle both said I could do a payment plan, well I broke my hand and was out of work for 2months. Carrie said to keep her updated which I did and the next thing I know they pull the full amount without even a call and on a Friday right before closing. I couldnt buy food for myself and 3 little girls because they took all the money I had left from being out of work (savings) I called and told them this and they said they dont care and the account is now paid off. This law firm is a big joke. I wish I never went through them. Dont waste your time and find another firm. Youll be glad you did.

Review №28

Ive paid this firm per our agreement, yet they filed a withdraw saying I didnt. I even have the attorney email apologizing for thier error. I confirmed in writing they were still representing me, they confirmed. 4 days before hearing I find out they no longer are. Ive paid nearly 30K and have NONE of my issues properly or efficiently represented. Its as if they represented opposing parties better than they represented me. I do not have any faith theyre capable to represent high conflict or challenging cases. My attorney was noce and talked the talk, but wasnt experienced enough to really present my case. She said we would ask for attorney fees in once incident then didnt. Ive got email after email reflecting inconsistencies and now am out all this money with zero results.

Review №29

I had the worst experience with this completely unprofessional and inadequate law firm. I hired Chelsea Hillman who was the youngest and most affordable, but in the end she cost me more than I could afford to lose. I hired her for an appeal, but she kept insisting that we shouldnt go forward with it. She obviously didnt have the talent and skill it takes to be a good attorney. Not to mention the fact that she doesnt come to a court date properly dressed! After wasting $8000 on this horrible lawyer she couldnt even act like a professional and show up in a suit like someone who cares about her job. Aesthetics aside I never once heard this woman argue or debate my case. I never went to law school, but I would think the first thing any attorney would do is ask the caseworker how many hours a parent would get when they are fighting to get more time with their child. Chelsea Hillman is the worst, most inexperienced and incompetent attorney I have ever had the displeasure to know. She cost way more than she is worth and I strongly advise anyone who is thinking about hiring her to go to another firm. I fired her after just one month and the firm that she works for is just as bad as the service she provides. I have had one other friend who has had a terrible experience here and my advice is to look elsewhere if you want a good attorney that will make progress in your case.

I financially helped a family member for a legal problem. What should have cost between $5000-$10000 cost about $18000. They procrastinated returning my retainer fee - once received it was $167 short with no explanation. My family member did not receive very good legal representation on top of that! Look elsewhere for an attorney.
