    "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.

    "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
    "I couldn't have gotten through my divorce without her."
    Lindsay Noel and her team are wonderful. She was fast and efficient every step of the way. She was also excellent with answering any questions or concerns I had in a quick manner and in a language I could understand. I couldn't have gotten through my divorce without her and I'm extremely thankful that I had her on my side.

    "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.
    Natalie  | Everett, 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.

    "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!
    Amy  | Kirkland, WA
    "I can't thank him enough."
    My children were not safe with my ex. Eric was the third attorney on my case. He was patient, calm, and helped me show the court what needed to be seen in order to protect my children. I can't thank him enough for the guidance he provided.
    Former Client  | Vancouver, 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
    "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.
    Eric  | 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.
