Kylie Bigelow

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, in...cluding 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.

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'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.

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 var...ious 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
