    "Extremely competent."
    Nathan was the perfect lawyer to help me through my divorce. I was terrified, clueless, and heartbroken, but Nathan was with me the whole way. In addition to being very supportive, he is extremely competent – I wound up with a very generous settlement at mediation.

    "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'!

    "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.

    "Knowledge, expertise, professionalism."
    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.
    James
     | 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.
    Alana
     | Seattle, 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
    "Goes above and beyond with her clients."
    Faye is such an amazing attorney who you would hire and sit and relax and have zero worries. She goes above and beyond with her clients and she always makes sure you leave her office with clear picture and understanding everything. I can't thank her enough.
    Asmaa
     | Vancouver, WA
    "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.
    Michael
     | Seattle, WA
    "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.
