    "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.

    "A high ethical standard."
    I had the opportunity to have Courtney Bellio represent me in 2 family law cases, and I have nothing but positive things to say about her work. Courtney is incredibly precise and knowledgeable, but also holds herself to a high ethical standard. Most importantly, Courtney took time to get to know me, my family, our situation, so that she could provide legal advice that was right for us.

    "I'm so happy I found them."
    My case is finalized!! There aren’t words to express my gratitude for Hillary Dawn and Ryan. Hillary has been my guide through the daunting process of family court. She and my paralegal Ryan kept me in the loop about possible outcomes, court dates, etc. They were always available by phone or email if I had additional questions or information. I’m so happy I found them.

    "Litigation skills are unmatched."
    10/10 recommend Brent for anything family law related. He’s so personable and truly cares about his clients and the outcome of their case/situation. He is extremely knowledgeable and thorough and his litigation skills are unmatched. Will recommend him to anyone I know going through a family law matter.

    "Highly recommended!"
    I was lucky enough to have Haley Helms and her team help me through my divorce filing. Their response times to questions, compassion that they showed and overall service level was second to none. Highly recommended!

    "They cared about me and my family."
    Mark, and his paralegal are absolutely amazing. Beyond just the legal representation they were tremendous in helping me through this extremely difficult time, and exhibited time and time again how much they cared about me and my family.

     | Tacoma, WA
    "My voice was being heard."
    She always made me feel like my voice was being heard and took the time to explain things in detail when it was necessary. Most importantly, she fought stringently for my child and for myself as a good father. If you are looking for the highest quality, most professional and compassionate family law representation, Amy Carei should be your pick.

    "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.

    "I was in good hands working with them."
    The team at McKinley Irvin is professional, compassionate, and I felt like I was in good hands working with them. They helped me through a very hard time, and I would recommend them to any of my friends in a similar situation.

    "Phenomenal support and counsel."
    Hillary and her team provided phenomenal support and counsel. Within a short 30 minute call I had clarity on what our game plan could be and how she would support me. Hillary is highly experienced and competent, communicates clearly, is pragmatic, direct, discusses options, and takes action quickly.
