Modern Family Law 111 West Saint John Street, San Jose, CA 95113

"Wow… I am a black father who is having to use an attorney for the first time ever. This is such a scary thing to begin with in my culture not alone the cost. However, Marianne did an amazing job during the consultation process alone. She never brought up money until I did, she was all ears and heart, she listened to me cry, she encouraged me, it was almost like she was an angel from God. I feel more informed about my decisions, I have next steps in place, and I am feeling more confident in life because of this one phone call. Thank you Marianne and may God bless you and your family."

"This is the first time I've hired a lawyer. And it is because I have family law issue, and I am a father. I full heartedly recommend Jess Smith of Modern Family Law. If you care about the family member you're fighting for you want this person as your lawyer. I consider myself blessed and lucky to have had Jess as my lawyer. As a person dealing with family law for the first time I really wanted someone who knew what they're doing, was accessible and responsive, and can really interpret the bulk of the legal stuff, that can be extra stressful, when I was going through an emotionally traumatic family event. Without Jess, I really can't imagine what would have happened up to now. Spending on a lawyer is a big thing and your money won't be wasted on Jess Smith if you have your family's best interest in mind. And I mean that. Court has been positive with her at my side. She is honest, compassionate, smart, and worked hard with me to make this experience bearable, less stressful, strategically sound, and what I wanted. I would pay money to have her represent me in other legal matters if I had it like that and needed a solid lawyer. But God has given me only what I need in terms of legal representation, and I am thankful. I vetted several family law lawyers in the San Jose area and got an incredibly capable person in Jess Smith. She will have your back for real. She still has mine or this review would be more detailed. Five stars, would recommend to any parent that needs strong, immediate, honest, and quite frankly, affordable legal help."

"I highly recommend Jess at Modern Family Law. She was a tremendous help when my family was in desperate need for legal help. My extended family member became a victim of domestic violence. She was in shock and did not know what to do as she was not familiar with the legal system. There were some time sentitive legal procedures that needed to be put in place. Out of the ten or so law offices I contacted, Modern Family Law was the only one who recognized our urgency. I was able to set up a meeting with Jess for the next day. Jess provided clear information about the process, and answered all our questions and concerns. She was compassionate and was truly concerned about the safety and well-being of my family member. I cannot thank her enough."

"I initially spoke with JESS SMITH last year and personally met her again this year. During our conversations, she showed a genuine interest to listen to and understand the situation calmly. She asked the right questions to verify what I expressed and answered my questions with clarity. JESS has the effortless ability to put you at ease and at the same time make you realize the important things to consider on how to move forward. She was upfront with what to expect in each step and the fees that come with the process. She discussed alternatives and delineated the differences inherent in them. She never pushed me to make decisions but for me to be introspective. She was able to accurately sum up the situation and offered to be available when an actionable plan and definite decisions will be made or even when I needed more clarifications on anything. JESS best represents her profession and I would highly consider working with her if need be in the future."

"I came to this law firm not knowing what to except and I was very distraught over the reasons I was seeking legal help. Jess calmed all my nerves and I knew immediately that I was in good hands and that everything would be taken care of. I would recommend Jess to anyone seeking a family law attorney. She is very reassuring, sharp witted, and thorough. Big thanks to Jess and her firm! She went absolutely above and beyond for me and exceeded my expectations by far."
