    "I couldn't have been more pleased."
    I hired Sarah Hovland to be my attorney in my divorce case. I couldn't have been more pleased with everything she did for me, and what the final outcome ended up being. I would absolutely recommend Sarah to anyone going through what I went through...she'll make sure you don't get the 'wool pulled over your eyes'!

    "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.

    "Forever grateful."
    I’ve done consultations with other attorneys and no one compares to Hillary Roberts. She’s worth every penny. I cannot thank her enough for her patience with me, understanding, kindness, and willingness to explain everything to me step by step. Forever grateful.

    "Put my wishes and needs at the front of my divorce."
    Amy is an incredibly skilled lawyer that put my needs and wishes at the front of my divorce. She and her team helped me every step of the way, and I felt reassured and supported throughout this emotional life transition. I highly recommend her!
    Laura
     | Tacoma, WA
    "Could not be happier with the outcome."
    [Elizabeth] provided straight forward advice on the issues at hand and what I could expect. This information allowed me to reach a settlement that was more than fair. She also recommended a mediator that was very good at keeping everything centered. Could not be happier with the outcome, given the circumstance.

    From start to finish, Mark and his entire McKinley Irvin team provided the highest level of knowledge, expertise, professionalism, and quality of work. Very happy with the quality of Mark's representation and the outcome he obtained. I give him my highest recommendation.

    "Fantastic experience."
    Fantastic experience with them. They speak to you like a human being and not just a client. The ease of the process and candor between client and law firm were appreciated. Thank you for all your help!

    "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.
