I had a consultation with Kathryn Johnson about a child custody case and she was wonderful. She was sincere and she listened. Although she wasn't able to help me herself, she gave me several tools that helped me feel so much better.

Kathryn got our highly contested case across the finish line. She is so easy to work with, down to earth, reliable, and to the point. Modern Family Law took our budget very seriously (where other firms may not have valued their customer more than their bottom line). I can't recommend these folks enough. Our child is safe, and happy, and loved.

In an effort to help protect our daughter and grandchildren, we contacted Modern Family Law and had a consultation with Attorney Kathryn Johnson. We were met with upfront transparency about what to expect and fees associated in retaining her services. There are plenty of lawyers available and it can be hard to wade through who might be a good fit and there are numerous reasons that we immediately knew she was the right one to help. Not only did she offer us complete transparency from the start, she went above and beyond to answer our questions with compassion, realistic expectations and provided real comfort under the circumstances. Kathryn is extremely personable, knowledgeable, experienced and very understanding. She gave us every confidence that she will continue to go above and beyond representing the best interests of our daughter and her children. At no point did we feel rushed, misguided or misrepresented and a trust in the process and working with her was built almost immediately. She isn’t in the business of nickel and diming and they also have a quick start program for qualifying folks that can potentially reduce the retainer to 0$. You can tell she has her heart in the right place and will fight for her clients till the end. Kathryn is hands down a real one and we highly recommend her and her firm!!

Kathryn Johnson is incredibly professional and thorough! Paralegal Veronica Hernandez was an absolute joy to work with. Their positive attitudes really made my divorce experience as enjoyable as possible, considering the circumstances. No one really ever wants to reach out to legal counsel, and I'm no exception, but they did an amazing job of guiding and reassuring me throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend Modern Family Law!

Kathryn was always accessible, responsive, and thorough, ensuring I felt confident and informed throughout the process.If you’re looking for a lawyer who combines expertise with empathy and truly prioritizes your needs, I wholeheartedly recommend Kathryn Johnson. She made all the difference in my case, and I’m so grateful for the support and guidance she provided.

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! 😊
