    "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.

    "Helped me through the most difficult time in my life."
    John Rosecrans (and his awesome team!) helped me through the most difficult time in my life. To John, it's about doing the right thing and making sure I am supported and properly informed of my options at every turn. John, Leanne and Patty have always gone above and beyond, and for that I am forever grateful.

    "I felt heard and supported."
    My case was a high-asset, amicable divorce with children after 20 years of marriage. From the start, Theresa was upfront and direct, clearly explaining what was and wasn’t possible according to the law. I felt heard and supported throughout, and I believe her dedication helped us move through this significant life change as smoothly as possible.

    "Helped me achieve a fair outcome."
    Sarah guided me through every step of the divorce process, ensuring I was informed and confident in my decisions. She was always responsive, answering my questions promptly and providing thoughtful advice tailored to my situation. Her negotiation skills ultimately helped me achieve a fair outcome.

    "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!

    "An excellent job advocating for me."
    David [Starks] did an excellent job advocating for me and giving sound advice. He used his smarts and experience to focus on the essential legal matters and what was necessary to get the best possible outcome for me.

    "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.

    "Helped make a difficult process manageable."
    I highly recommend McKinley Irvin and Carry Porter as an excellent divorce attorney. She helped me navigate the divorce and custody process and was a strong support and incredibly knowledgeable resource throughout the process. Her paralegal is wonderful and was always quick to respond to any questions I had. Carry helped make a difficult process manageable, and I am very grateful for their help. Highly recommend!

    "David is a rockstar attorney."
    David is a rockstar attorney. If you need a smart, wise, responsive, attorney for a tough case, David [Starks] is definitely it. I felt connected, informed throughout a hard and long divorce and educated on process and next steps when I needed to be. I’m convinced that my divorce would have taken a different path without his wisdom and clear but fair approach.
