Going through a divorce was one of the most stressful times in my life. I was scared, feeling cornered, and in a financial pickle. Darin and his team made everything super easy and manageable. He listened, he validated, and gave valuable feedback on each line item. I was very thorough in my search for an attorney since my case involved some complications. My divorce ended up being contested and then appealed. We went to court several times and Darin shined every time! For the amount of work he put in he was was very reasonably priced! I spoke to many attorneys, have friends that are attorneys, and even worked with one prior to finding him, that’s how I know Darin is a gem! Hire him! Not all heros wear capes!

Darin has been my attorney on a few different matters, over the past five years. He has become like family, as we have communicated he has been known to phone me on his way home, or on the weekend if something comes up. I have always valued Darin for his attention to detail, kindness and passion to do "what is right". I would call Darin time and time again should I need his services. Thank you, Darin for all you - I appreciate you!

Darin is a thorough and attentive attorney who truly cared about the process and ultimate result/decision regarding my case. I strongly recommend Darin to any party seeking outstanding council concerning divorce issues.

Darin and his team at Modern Law were efficient, professional, and courteous every step of the way through my divorce. They answered all of my questions, and there were plenty of them along the way, and my trust in them paid off in the end! I would highly recommend them if you are in need of a divorce attorney.

Modern Law is the best law firm hands down and I would highly recommend them over anyone else. I have spent 8 years fighting for my son and have been represented by 2 attorneys at Modern Law. They all have their specialties, what they excel at, and have been instrumental in my obtaining equal parenting time with my son. Billie Tarascio and Darin Colburn are the attorneys I have had the pleasure of working with. Billie handled my out of state parenting plan like a true professional and was able to get me more weeks than is typical, and I can’t thank her enough for that. Darin handled my equal parenting plan upon my return to Arizona and was calm, cool and collected and able to help me stay that way as well. Billie and Darin dealt with all the curveballs and not so ethical moves made by my ex and her attorneys and through it all was able to get me just what I wanted, equal parenting time. Billie and Darin possess a high moral fiber which is what sets them apart from the rest. They can get you the results your looking for without sinking to the level of whom they are up against, or having their own ethics called into question; which, let’s face it, that’s what most lawyers are known for. NOT this firm though. Modern Law is so successful and sought after because of their core values and moral high ground. Thank you, truly, for everything you have done for my son.

I, recently, consulted with Darin after my wife filed for divorce. He was a referred to me by a friend whom I very much trust. Darin was the antithesis of the first two attorneys I consulted (who were matter-of-fact and had very little empathy about the fact that I was struggling emotionally with what was transpiring). From the first few minutes of speaking with Darin, it was obvious that he was very knowledgeable and skilled with divorce and family matters. While that was most important to me, the thing that made the difference was his calming, logical and empathetic approach. He took the time to listen and empathize with me. He took the time to understand what I wanted to achieve through this process and laid out my options. After the consultation, I knew he would be my attorney if I had to pull the trigger. I, ultimately, didn't have to engage Darin's services due to a reconciliation with my wife. I hope I never have to go through that process again, however, if I do, I know beyond a shadow-of-a-doubt who I will be hiring to represent me...Darin R. Colburn. Darin, thank you for caring and being more than an attorney. I give you (and your paralegal--Jenifer Bone) my highest endorsement.

Darin is a honest caring lawyer. He had my best interests in all things that he did. He told me when I was being unreasonable and explain why. I hope I never need him again but if I do I would hire him again with out a second thought.

My wife's ex husband illegally accessed out bank account to pay a bill. Darin was so helpful. We go to ur money back and have not had any issues since! We really appreciated everything he did for us.

Darin handled my divorce case which was a bit complicated, he truly cares about the outcome and works very hard to get you a favorable result. He did lots of research into my specific issues and I am very happy with the result. The cost for services was very reasonable and he is upfront about future costs. I highly recommend Darin Colburn and I am very thankful for all he was able to do for me.

Before I hired Darin I went through a total of 3 different attorneys in two different states fighting a jurisdiction battle, when my daughter was taken to a different state. It was a very difficult decision to switch attorneys at one of the most difficult, time sensitive and important times in my case, but I'm very glad I did. Upon receiving my file from previous attorneys Darin came very familiar with my case quickly. Like other people have explained he took the time to lay everything out and explain how the process was going to proceed and what to expect and continued to do this as new issues arrived. He is also very quick at responding to emails and phone calls. My case was getting close to trial as told by my previous attorneys, I did not want to go to trial as I know this is very costly (most attorneys will convince you that you need to.) Darin knew my situation, fought for what was right and got the results I wanted while avoiding a costly trial. He is extremely knowledgeable in the Child Support Guidelines as well. Because of Darin I got my daughter back. I would highly recommend him and would hire again for any future issues. Thanks Darin!

I hired Darin to replace my existing attorney on a UCCJEA (Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Enforcement Act) case. Darin accepted the challenge even though he would be engaging it later in the process. Mediation was scheduled in 3-weeks, and Darin was required to acquire all the case files from my previous attorney, review and familiarize himself with a lengthy complicated case starting from scratch, and put together all RSM and ADR documents quickly. My case encountered some additions of unexpected challenges related to California Child Support Agency involvement that were due to circumstances that existed before Darin's representation and beyond his control. We then encountered less than ideal delays from the opposing party. Despite starting from behind, California's interference which threatened a Rule 69 Agreement, opposing parties delays (not opposing legal counsel) and me interfering probably more than I should have, Darin met all deadlines, negotiated a very favorable Rule 69 Agreement, negotiated to eliminate child support until future modifications were filed, supported me in self representing myself against California's Child Support Agency-which led to a successful dismissal. Overall, Darin identified and quickly adapted his strategy to changing circumstances, initiated the lead over a stipulation order filing, in response to a very tight deadline that he was determined to meet, returned all my calls and e-mails quickly as he promised he would, drove across Phoenix personally to pick up files from prior attorney when they were not being delivered on schedule, and ultimately brought the biggest challenge that I have experienced in life so far, to a peaceful resolution for the better good of my daughter and her parents. I will admit that I am hard to please at times, but Darin managed to bring a smile to my face in closing. I highly recommend Darin to anyone who really wants close personal attention to their case and the best chance at getting what is fair.

Having Darin as my attorney has definitely been a blessing. Not only did he handle my divorce with professionalism, but he also made sure to clarify and explain every process. Any time there were complications, he was quick to find a solution that best fit our needs. He always went the extra mile to make sure my kids were going to be in good hands and was able to reason and reach an agreement with an otherwise difficult opposing counsel. Darin is new, but he was built to be a lawyer. He has more knowledge and professionalism than most attorneys that have been doing this for years, and always consults with other attorneys so the case always moves forward with a solid defense. Would recommend him to all family and friends!
