Modern Law

What Modern Law does

Modern Law is an Arizona-based family law firm founded in 2010 by Billie Tarascio in Mesa, Arizona. The firm provides legal representation in divorce, child custody, child support, spousal maintenance, division of assets, domestic violence, estate planning, guardianship, mediation, marital agreements, and juvenile/adoption matters, serving individuals and families across Arizona through six physical offices (Mesa, Scottsdale, Phoenix, Tucson, Yuma, Peoria) plus statewide virtual consultations.

The firm's product architecture combines a core full-representation service with multiple modular offerings: unbundled/limited-scope legal services, the Modern Law Clinic (supervised law-student services at reduced cost), and the Modern Divorce Navigator (a monthly membership with weekly live attorney Q&A, video lessons, and a private online community). Self-service web tools — a Child Support Calculator, Co-Mingled Property Calculator, and Spousal Maintenance Estimator — support top-of-funnel demand generation, alongside a content engine built around The Modern Arizona Podcast, blog articles, video resources, free e-books, and active social media presence across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

Modern Law's revenue model is primarily fee-for-service professional services with tiered consultation pricing ($250 attorney, $150 paraprofessional), full representation billed per engagement, unbundled task-based services, and a recurring subscription layer via Navigator. Ancillary revenue is generated through office-space rentals to other legal professionals. The firm is privately held by founder Billie Tarascio with partner-level equity held by senior attorneys, has no disclosed external investment, and operates with 20+ attorneys supported by legal, firm, and intern staff.
