    "A great team in helping me get a fair outcome."
    Excellent attorney. I worked with Brent Bohan and Lindsey who were a great team in helping me get a fair outcome at trial. They were effective, thorough, and communicative over the lengthy process and I was glad to have them supporting me throughout.

    "Got me through it without a scratch."
    In hiring Kim, I picked an attorney with a strong background in difficult personalities, mental health issues and complicated proceedings. My case did end up with multiple difficult surprises that could have devastated me financially and socially, but Kim got me through it without a scratch.

    "Sharp, thorough, and gets results."
    I cannot recommend Carry Porter highly enough. She handled an extremely complex and high-volume case for me, managing an overwhelming number of filings and winning every motion. Beyond her skill, she was responsive and calm, and made me feel supported throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a family law attorney who is sharp, thorough, and gets results, she's the one.
    – Christa
     | Kirkland, WA
    "Extremely grateful to my attorney."
    They delivered with compassion and understanding for my circumstances and I am extremely grateful to my attorney for restoring my belief in justice and protecting me from adversarial behavior during contentious court proceedings. Thank you McKinley Irvin and Lindsey Noel for the fine representation.

     | Tacoma, WA
    "An awesome family attorney."
    Rainer Frank was an awesome family attorney. He helped our family through a difficult and long battle regarding custody and child support. In the end, he worked hard and not only solved the original issue, but helped us with adoption as well (which he took the time to research just for us). I could never thank him enough!
    – Brittany
     | Tacoma, WA
    "A fierce advocate for me during my divorce."
    Cameron was a fierce advocate for me during my divorce, and Amy kept me apprised every step of the way. I never once felt "in the dark" about my case, I always felt seen and heard, and was consistently treated with the highest level of compassion and professionalism.
    – Sarah
     | Tacoma, WA
    "My team was head and shoulders above the rest."
    My team, Margaret Stewart, her paralegal, Jacquelynn, and Grace were comforting, professional, prepared, and easy to correspond with. There were months of preparation leading to a very stressful morning. But once, we got into court, I realized, that my team was heads and shoulders above the rest.
    – Carleigh
     | Tacoma, WA
    "A true advocate and extraordinarily competent."
    Sam was a true advocate and extraordinarily competent representing me and my case. I have never felt so at ease despite all of the troubling litigation coming from the other party. Sam always left me feeling reassured in his strategy and his results spoke for themselves in court.

     | Tacoma, WA
    "Their thorough guidance was invaluable."
    During a very painful time in my life, I found a bright star in attorney Jennifer Payseno and her team. Two years later, my eyes well up with tears just remembering their compassion while guiding me with expert knowledge and precise actions. Their thorough guidance was invaluable.
    – Alana
     | Seattle, WA
    "He put in a lot of hard work."
    I felt like the communication between Sam and I was very good and open, I never wondered what was going on and always got a prompt response to any questions. I felt like I truly had an advocate for me and my case. He put in a lot of hard work and I appreciate it.
