    "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.

    "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.
    Sarah
     | Tacoma, WA
    "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.

    "Put my wishes and needs at the front of my divorce."
    Amy is an incredibly skilled lawyer that put my needs and wishes at the front of my divorce. She and her team helped me every step of the way, and I felt reassured and supported throughout this emotional life transition. I highly recommend her!
    Laura
     | Tacoma, 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.

    "Better than I could have hoped."
    Casey helped keep my case focused, was mindful of billing and time, and litigated my case better than I could have hoped. I cannot provide enough recommendations for his thoughtful and careful representation. You will be in good hands!

    "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.

    "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
    "Forever grateful."
    I’ve done consultations with other attorneys and no one compares to Hillary Roberts. She’s worth every penny. I cannot thank her enough for her patience with me, understanding, kindness, and willingness to explain everything to me step by step. Forever grateful.
    Hugo
     | Everett, 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.
