    "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.

    "Hard-working, sensitive, and professional."
    I could hardly ask for a more hard-working, sensitive, and professional attorney with a strict attention to detail and organized, rational approach. [Kim Schnuelle's] knowledge of family law and the King county legal system seems to me unparalleled.

    "I can't say enough good things."
    I can’t say enough good things about McKinley Irvin. Going through a divorce is never easy, but the team at this firm made the process as smooth and supportive as possible.

     | Kirkland, WA
    "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.

    "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
    "Brilliant in court."
    Casey is brilliant in court, professional in his filings and I grew to trust Casey and Karrey implicitly. They taught me how to handle communications with my ex and always stay child focused. I have been and continue to be very grateful to have had this amazing legal team on my side through such a difficult divorce process!
    Rebecca
     | Vancouver, WA
    "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.
    Former Client
     | Seattle, 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.
    Andy
     | Tacoma, WA
    "Earned my respect and trust."
    What impressed me most, is how incredibly well prepared she was and how confident she was in court. She's so professional and empathetic. She realizes how hard it can be to need her services and really helped explain the process so there were no surprises. I can't thank her enough. Caitlin [Royse] has earned my respect and trust.
    Former Client
     | Everett, WA
    "Navigated it all flawlessly."
    Cameron did an amazing job on my case. It was complex and he navigated it all flawlessly. He and his paralegal Amy were so good at explaining what was happening in my case to me. It can all be very confusing but the whole team at McKinley Irvin did a great job helping me get through this very scary time in my life.
