Do Not Hire Nick or Jasmine Johnson or Modern Family Law** I strongly advise against hiring Jasmine Johnson or her firm, Modern Family Law, for any legal representation, especially in family law matters. My experience with her was disastrous, causing significant harm to my family. Jasmine was unr...esponsive, often taking days to reply, even in emergencies. She failed to file critical court documents, which allowed the opposing party to gain an advantage, putting my children’s custody at risk until our next court date. Her lack of preparation and organization was evident throughout the case—she couldn’t keep track of files, failed to address false statements from the opposing party, and admitted to avoiding communication with the other lawyer because she felt disrespected. Despite court orders granting me access to my youngest child, the opposing party withheld childcare, and Jasmine did nothing to enforce the order or address their contempt of court. She appeared reactive, with no clear strategy, leaving us defenseless. Worse, she pressured me to extend the case, which I believe was solely to increase her billable hours. I paid over $20,000 for services that delivered no results and arguably worsened our situation. When I raised these concerns with Nick, a partner at the firm, he acknowledged Jasmine’s errors but offered no resolution, only suggesting I pay more to continue the case. He was dismissive and ended our call abruptly for another appointment. I have since fired the firm and hired a new attorney who genuinely cares about my family’s needs. In a final display of incompetence, Jasmine texted me about filing a contempt hearing, forgetting her firm had already withdrawn from my case. She later cited this review as a reason for not proceeding, despite initially claiming she had evidence to help my family. This level of disorganization and unprofessionalism is unacceptable. I strongly recommend choosing a smaller, more dedicated firm that will listen to your needs and prioritize your family. I will update this review with text messages from Jasmine as evidence of her negligence and share recommendations for competent attorneys. Avoid Jasmine Johnson and Modern Family Law—they will waste your money and fail to protect your interests.

Nicholas spoke a good game on the initial consultation but once I retained services from Modern Family Law that all ended and His fraudulent fractional billing began . I've never felt more like a money printing machine than with Nick . Everything gets shared and billed multiple times by other staff m...embers in this firm for some reason and when i request to review these charges I met with refusal and hostility. Everyone should avoid this Attorney and this firm like the plague

If I could give ten thousands stars, then I would. Nick Tootalian was a God send. He fought for what he knew we deserved. He gave me both legal and life advice, and he won. He won BIG for my children and me. I never doubted him, he was on my side, he made me laugh, and he is smarter than I could ever... dream of being. If you know you're ready to leave an unhealthy situation, get ahold of Nick, and let him get to work for you.

My attorney, Nick Tootalian, was extremely knowledgeable in a complicated and sensitive situation. Him and his team (Sarah Duff specifically) were able to go above and beyond to make sure we were successful and showed empathy for my family’s plight. I felt heard and all of my concerns were addressed ...clearly. He was able to set realistic expectations and deliver! I highly recommend Nick and his team!
