    "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.

    "Good to know you hired the bigger fish."
    Lindsay Camandona at McKinley Irvin was excellent. The customer service at the firm is excellent. The best part is that when my (now ex) husband's lawyer heard we had hired McKinley Irvin, her response was, "Uh oh..." In the end, my divorce was quite amicable. But it's always good to know you hired the bigger fish.
    Tammie  | Tacoma, WA
    "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.
    Shelley  | Seattle, WA
    "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
    "A big impact during a sensitive time."
    [Christa's] knowledge, guidance, and support clearly made a big impact during a sensitive time. Thank you for providing such exceptional service!
    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.
    Kathy  | Tacoma, WA
    "A deeply empathetic human."
    Courtney is a true professional in every sense of the word. She's also a deeply empathetic human who will pour her heart and soul into your case and Kayla will keep everything flawlessly organized on the back end. I cannot recommend Courtney enough.
    Holly  | Portland, OR
    "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.
    Isaac  | Portland, OR
    "Litigation skills are unmatched."
    10/10 recommend Brent for anything family law related. He’s so personable and truly cares about his clients and the outcome of their case/situation. He is extremely knowledgeable and thorough and his litigation skills are unmatched. Will recommend him to anyone I know going through a family law matter.
    Former Client  | Seattle, WA
    "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.
