“In the end, it will always come back to family — the family you are born into and the family you create for yourself,” says family law and estate planning attorney Tiffany Byrd. “They are who you fight for, they are the reason you push to create a better, more secure future.”

Helping those involved in family disputes turn confusion into confidence, helplessness into empowerment and frustration into action is what Byrd and others at Modern Legal work tirelessly for. “Knowledge is needed for you to make the best decisions,” says Byrd. “Making concepts within family law approachable and understandable allows my clients to make better choices and gain confidence that they can do hard things.”

The oldest child of a single-parent divorced household, Byrd knows the importance of having a supportive community. A gymnast at Northern Illinois University, she then pursued a law and master’s degree in social work at the University of South Carolina. The first to enter the unique dual degree program in more than 30 years, Byrd worked with the school to create updated, alternative schedules still used for students today. After spending several years in the victim services field and witnessing the immeasurable impact the law makes in people’s lives, she joined Modern Legal in 2021.

Speaking for those who don’t have a voice and those who are afraid to use it is a passion for Byrd personally and professionally. Pat’s Place, the Council for Children’s Rights, Families Forward Charlotte and Sanctuary Counseling Group are local charities close to her heart.

Married for seven years to wife Alaina, Byrd’s hobbies — cooking, painting, decorating and building — reflect her desire to make the people and places around her better. “I love creating just about anything,” she says. “Especially if it is used to make a space more of a home or invites people to share time together.”
