    "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.

    "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.

    They delivered with compassion and understanding for my circumstances and I am extremely grateful to my attorney for restoring my belief in justice and protecting me from adversarial behavior during contentious court proceedings. Thank you McKinley Irvin and Lindsey Noel for the fine representation.

    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.

    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.

    "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!

    "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.
    Kathy
     | Tacoma, WA
    "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.
