Unfortunately I had a very underwhelming experience with this attorney. This was a typical bait and switch situation. I was told all kinds of things prior to signing on, and none of those things happened. The ball was dropped, and I lost my case. And then I was gaslight after I lost my case.

Kylie helped me through the confusing and irritating process of my divorce. She respected my budget and was communicative every step of the way. She was patient with my ignorance of the process and I feel she did her best to protect me in a system that I personally feel is broken and outdated. I highly recommend Kylie and Modern Law.

Kylie is my Aunts attorney and she has helped our family in ways we have never thought possible. She is so dedicated to her clients and their cases, thats what I love most about her. I would recommend her to anyone!

I hired Kylie to represent me in a messy child relocation case. Doing online research, I found that relocation cases are one of the messiest types of family law cases. I had to prove that it was in my sons best interest to pack up our lives and move over 1,000 miles away from my all of his family, including his father. It seemed like an uphill battle. Kylie kept me calm during the most difficult months of my life. She kept in constant communication with me in the months before my trial. It was very clear in court who had the more organized, better lawyer. In the end, the ruling was better than I could have imagined, and thanks to Kylie, I am currently typing this review from the other side of the Mississippi while my son is sleeping a few steps away from me. I hope that I never need to hire another lawyer, but if I do, my first call will be to Kylie.

Kylie did a wonderful job as my attorney. She went above and beyond my expectations. I live out of state and she communicated through email and phone calls and always made me feel better about a horrible situation. She was amazing in court and the final decision was even better than I expected or what we asked for. I will be recommending her to everyone and if needed I will definitely hire her again!

Being the non-biological father for custody of a child I'm a father to presented a significant challenge. On Kylie's part she did an outstanding job in providing services for a very difficult situation. Kylie was professional, courteous and had more than obliged in her role as our attorney. For those seeking assistance in family law I would definitely recommend her. Our family feels very fortunate to have won the case on the grounds of loco parentis and that my little boy is in a much better place because of it. Thank you very much Kylie for your much appreciated work!

I was recommended by an attorney, (who is a friend that doesn't practice family law), to Modern Law. After using them to file my primary motions, I ended up hiring Kylie El-Wailly to represent me in a custody case. She was respectful of what I was looking to accomplish. I'm was a single dad, with various issues that required me to seek full custody of 2 of my kids. She can deal with any issues that might arise, is always ready, prompt, and organized, as is her paralegal Rylie Julander. She is an available, more than capable attorney, who can handle anyone as a trial litigator. Thank you Kylie for the great work. I would highly recommend Kylie to anyone, especially you single dads out there, who might unfortunately need someone on your side. Billie Tarascio has put together a great team at Modern Law

I've never been a fan of hiring an attorney. I am a single father of a wonderful six year old daughter, and I'm 39 years old. I thought I knew my situation better than a hired hand. I have been involved in a custody case that has spanned over four years, and have been handling it on my own, poorly. I have lost a lot. I made the decision to start researching attorneys, and came across Modern Law, namely Kylie El-Wailly. As soon as I hired Ms. El-Wailly, I started getting some sleep at night. She has done a very good job for me, and I have finally received some favorable outcomes. From what I have learned, the facts of family law are not as important as the WAY those facts are presented. In other words, it doesn't always matter what has happened, if you don't understand how, and when to report those facts accurately to the court. Ms. El-Wailly has a very good knowledge of how and when to present relevant information to the court. There were lots of times I felt one way, but she felt another, and she was right. There were things I would of brought up that were irrelevant, and would of irritated the judge that she prevented from reaching his ears. She acted as a "filter" of sorts, listening to my gripes and complaints about what has been happening, then condensed that long-winded rant into a short, concise, on-point-message that made it easy for the judge to understand. She took the emotion out of what I wanted to express, and presented only fact. This was invaluable. Trust me, it's easier said than done. When I represented myself, no matter how much I prepped myself and told myself to control my emotions, I never could. I would get into court and hear the other party use misleading statements, statements I felt were maliciously untrue, and the emotion would come pouring out. I would routinely lose ground in court because I irritated the judge. Not because I was necessarily in the wrong, but because of my lack of understanding of court proceedings. Ms. El-Wailly changed all that, overnight. She understands when and how to speak to the court. She was able to provide the facts to the court in a way that didn't make him mad. She even got him to change two specific rulings, in my favor. The judge doesn't make a habit out of making a decision, then allowing himself to be convinced to change his mind. You have to really present good LEGAL cause. Ms. El-Wailly has done an extremely good job for me. She walked into a situation where I had already lost respect from my judge because I represented myself wrong, and I believe she has been able to change his opinion of me. The rulings have finally shifted, and he seems to be ruling more fairly now. If you're in a similar situation and need professional help, Modern Law and Ms. El-Wailly WILL HELP YOU. She also has a great support staff. The team at Modern Law was always there to help when I needed something, they never left me hanging. Even at times when my attorney was unreachable, the staff did what they could do to provide assistance as soon as possible. Everyone was polite and knowledgeable. This firm was all-around a good choice. In the end, family court and child custody is not fun. It has been the single worst experience I have ever gone through. Ms. El-Wailly took an unbearable situation, and made it better. She's not a magician. She can't control the outcome, or make the judge's mind up for him. But, she was very helpful in knowing what facts were important to present, and most importantly, she knew law and procedure. These qualities made her worth more than the money I paid her. She did a MUCH better job for me in court than I did for myself, and my child will be the one who benefits from her help.

Kylie is an exceptional attorney. She is knowledgeable and attentive. We hired her on a limited scope basis but we never felt limited. She has fought for my daughter's right to choose where she wants to live and for her right to child support. Even after our return hearing when Kylie was no longer our attorney she helped us file a motion that has given us more time to prepare for our temporary orders hearing and eventual trail. We intend to re-hire her before our next hearing in a month or so to represent us. I would recommend her to anyone who would like their child's voice to be heard in court or anyone who is fighting for sole custody and child support.

I relocated out of state and needed an attorney in AZ to help me through the process of filing for divorce with a small child. The first time I spoke to Kylie I knew she was the attorney for me! She's organized, prompt, firm when needed and very kind. She worked with me through email and phone, since I was out of state, and guided me through the painful divorce process. She was very prompt at answering all my questions and getting information to me about my case. It was extremely stressful due to the fact that the other party was so difficult, but Kylie did an amazing job putting my mind at ease and taking care of things. I highly recommend Modern Law, specifically Kylie, to anyone.

While researching parental alienation syndrome online, I found an article referencing Modern Law and I knew right away this law firm best suited my custodial needs. My case involved the attempt by my ex-wife to relocate my children to another state. Kylie and the entire Modern Law staff were extraordinary in helping me sort through this dreadful situation. Kylie is extremely organized, very informative, thorough, and conveniently responsive. She helped me to identify the important information that is necessary when dealing with high conflict in divorce. Her knowledge and preparedness in and out of the court room was highly exceptional. I highly recommend Kylie and Modern Law to anyone enduring the painful woes of divorce and child custody. Thank you for helping me protect my rights as a father!

Kylie helped me with my child custody case. She has been nothing but supportive through this process and he answered any and all questions I had towards the case. She was very quick to respond to emails or phone calls. I highly recommend using her as an attorney :)
