McKinley Irvin is proud to announce that partners David Starks and Jennifer Payseno have been included in multiple 2026 Super Lawyers Top Lists, which highlight the highest-rated attorneys in Washington State.
David Starks has been named to the inaugural Top 5: Family Law Washington Super Lawyers list, recognizing him as one of the five highest-rated family law attorneys in Washington State. The Top 5 Family Law list, new in 2026, is determined by peer feedback and Super Lawyers' independent research and represents the highest distinction Super Lawyers confers in the practice area.
Starks has also been named to the Top 100: 2026 Washington Super Lawyers list, an honor he has now received in 14 of the past 15 years.
Jennifer Payseno has been named to the Top 100: 2026 Washington Super Lawyers list and the Top 50: Women Washington Super Lawyers list for the fourth consecutive year.
We congratulate David and Jennifer on these honors. Both partners have built their careers representing clients in some of the most complex divorce and family law matters in Washington State. These cases demand legal depth, strategic judgment, and steadfast advocacy for clients. David and Jennifer bring that to their practice every day, and their inclusion on these lists reflects the respect they have earned from peers and the legal community over many years of practice.
The complete 2026 Washington Super Lawyers Top Lists are published on superlawyers.com and in Super Lawyers magazine.
