    "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.

    "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.

    "Integrity that instills confidence."
    Brian has a commanding and confident demeanor and an integrity that instills confidence and calm among the stress and chaos of divorce. He is very responsive and communicates all possible outcomes and options thoroughly.

    "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!

    "Offered me sound advice."
    After 25 years of marriage I was blindsided when served with a petition for divorce. Jennifer was very professional, she took the time to understand my case, offered me sound advice and, along with her team, guided me through the entire process resulting in a fair settlement without going to court.

    "I couldn't have been more pleased."
    I hired Sarah Hovland to be my attorney in my divorce case. I couldn't have been more pleased with everything she did for me, and what the final outcome ended up being. I would absolutely recommend Sarah to anyone going through what I went through...she'll make sure you don't get the 'wool pulled over your eyes'!

    "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.

    "Helped me tremendously."
    Katie McGinley with McKinley Irvin was my divorce attorney. Her professionalism and experience helped me tremendously. She led me through each step of the complicated legal process and the tough time in my life. She is understanding, caring, thoughtful, communicative and respectful.

    "My team was head and shoulders above the rest."
    My team, Margaret Stewart, her paralegal, Jacquelynn, and Grace were comforting, professional, prepared, and easy to correspond with. There were months of preparation leading to a very stressful morning. But once, we got into court, I realized, that my team was heads and shoulders above the rest.
    Carleigh
     | Tacoma, WA
    "Fantastic experience."
    Fantastic experience with them. They speak to you like a human being and not just a client. The ease of the process and candor between client and law firm were appreciated. Thank you for all your help!
