I engaged Araceli Amaya to help with my divorce process. She is extremely smart, figures out complex situations with few questions and very empathetic. Her attention to detail and no-nonsense approach to problem solving are amazing.Initially i was worried if attorney can understand the unique challenges & situation with international assets, complex emotional situation with children etc. - but Araceli has been a tremendous help in the overall process.Highly recommend her and she can be a true partner in the complex legal journey!!!

Araceli and her staff at McKinley Irvin are very supportive and responsive. She is very knowledgeable and gives you great insight to both sides of a situation. She presented all the possibilities for my situation and helped me get the result I wanted. I would highly recommend Araceli and the McKinley Irvin firm for any family law case.

Araceli Amaya leads her practice with compassion and integrity. I whole heartedly encourage you to reach out to Araceli should you require Family Law services.

Araceli Amaya is a wealth of information and experience in area Family Law and Estate Planning. She is extremely versed in many areas while able to empathize, lawfully protect and manage regardless of your unique individual or family situation. We highly recommend Araceli as your experienced attorney as she has several decades of proven success for her clients. Ms. Amaya far exceeds anyone we have worked with in our real estate industry when protecting or dividing assets and working with people and sensitive topics. She is the best in the business, hands down.

Errors, lack of knowledge, big fees even though my ex was agreeing to everything... I had to send papers back to lawyer (Anthony Zorich jr.) several times due to errors they made writing them; I'd ask what a statute was about because I was signing that I understood or complied with it, and lawyer Anthony just said he didn't know, that he didn't have time to look them up or memorize them (isn't that his job? To know that stuff for me?) He wrote to have payments made to companies instead of me, so the state can't automatically recover that money for me.... I had no idea at the time that there were options or I would have chosen to have it paid to me! It was just a very expensive mess even though my ex was agreeing to anything we wrote!! So I would never recommend him or the paralegal I worked with! Now I have to spend many hours of precious time and money fixing (re-writing) visitation and child support and go back to court all over again, and ex is no longer in picture...

Great experience with Araceli. Knowledgeable, responsive, effective, and served my needs while also giving me the best advice, vs. pressuring me to handle issues a specific way. Support staff also very friendly, responsive, and effective.

Araceli Amaya is a highly qualified attorney who very successfully navigated me through a contentious divorce. I would recommend her to anyone.

Having to go through legal procedures is rarely something that brings pleasure to people, at least it is not something that I draw pleasure from. I view it as a daunting and unpleasant task, but a necessity at times. Brent Bohan helped to make my experience with the legal process as painless as I imagine possible. He understood my aversion towards the process and was empathetic without needing any explanation. He is the only reason for the 4 star rating, otherwise I would view the legal process as a -5 stars for sure.

Unfortunately, I have been involved in a 5 year divorce and Blake was my 4th Attorney. I can unequivocally say that he was the best that represented me. Trust is important and you only have to meet Blake to know that he is trustworthy as well as professional. Clients will not go wrong with Blake at your side!

J.Blake Hilty is a great lawyer! Help me go through a difficult moment. Always available, meticulous and really efficient. Always took the time to explain carefully every step and what to expect. I highly recommend him.

It definitely can feel odd leaving a review for something as ugly as a divorce.When all this happened to me I was scared, I felt alone, I felt like my life was over, and that I would never recover. I interviewed five attorneys before I found Blake. He doesn't over talk, he doesn't overcharge, he doesn't mess around with things that don't matter. He is very informative and concise and makes you feel like you have a warrior at your back. I was a complete mess and Blake helped bring me back to earth. He set a plan in motion for what needed to be done, even though I had absolutely no idea what Came next.In every divorce case there is always a multitude of tiny things that must be dealt with. Blake and his paralegal were amazing!! If they didn't get back to me instantly, it was always very promptly, even if he was in court.My story is different as my husband and I were able to reconcile after six months, and no one could've been happier for me than Blake and his paralegal. As a family law/divorce attorney he knew and supported what was right for me he didn't try to keep me on the divorce path to make more money. He was caring, and he was happy that my husband and I were able to work things out. I know that this is not everyone's experience and I feel very fortunate. To have Blake have my back when things are rough, but to be there when things turned better was one of the kindest things I've experienced in an attorney.He has all of the qualities that you want when dealing with something so incredibly horrible it's impossible to face. Let him be your warrior, let him be your strong man, he is amazing. I literally cannot say enough good things about him. I would highly recommend him to any single person that I know that needs his services.

I was fortunate to work with Brent Bohan on my divorce. I was looking for an attorney who was honest, knowledgeable, and met deadlines. Brent takes his reputation seriously and genuinely cares about his clients.

Brent P. Bohan went above and beyond the call of duty during my divorce proceedings. He is excellent with high conflict custody cases and has a smart yet aggressive approach that is both efficient and effective. He manages client expectations well, and tends to deliver more than he promises. He is also motivated by justice and by his client's need whereas most attorney's are primarily motivated by accruing fees. He was responsive, accessible, supportive and had creative strategies for dealing with opposing counsel. He kept me on task while I was struggling with multiple stressful events such as family illness and car accidents, and let nothing fall through the cracks. I highly recommend Brent to anyone who is going through a contentious divorce, particularly one that involves a custody battle. He will work very hard to settle but will not hesitate to go to trial if the situation calls for it. He also pushes his client's money much farther than any other attorney I know of. Brent breaks the stereotype for law practitioners and faces each case with an attitude of honesty and integrity.

Blake Hilty worked with me on my case. He was extremely helpful in explaining the situation and what the options were. He was extremely responsive and well prepared. He took the time to understand my concerns and was patient in answering all questions. I appreciated his help and guidance during this difficult time. I would highly recommend Blake Hilty.

Steve Francis

McKinley Irvin was very responsive and professional. Blake Hilty supported me in an advisory capacity and was fantastic. He didn't attempt to grow his role or 'sell' me on anything. He was just very responsive and wanted to know what my goals were. He was a good listener. Then he provided some very good coaching. Because of his guidance I was able to achieve a settlement that I was comfortable with and perhaps more importantly I avoided a hearing. I honestly believe that without his guidance the whole thing with my ex wife (was a modification) would have been much uglier, more stressful and far more expensive. Bake is a high integrity guy, which I really respect and appreciate.Steve FrancisSammamish

Blake Hilty is an excellent attorney. With professionalism and knowledge, he handled all aspects of my difficult divorce and parenting plan. Blake is great to work with. He is very quick to return phone calls and emails. He has been available to work with me on issues that have cropped up recently after the final papers were signed. I highly recommend Blake Hilty.

Audrie Starsy

Blake Hilty was my attorney for my separation and divorce. He was extremely knowledgable, professional, and compassionate. He provided a clear and concise overview of the entire process, and helped me navigate each step along the way. He was attentive and detail-oriented. I enjoyed working with him and the staff at McKinley Irvin, and would highly recommend him!

Lisa Clare

I was referred from a friend to McKinley Irvin. My attorney, Blake Hilty is professional and very helpful. I would highly recommend him and his firm.

Margaret Doty

Blake Hilty was my attorney for my divorce. This was my first and only divorce and It was a difficult process for me. I had little experience with the legal system. Mr.Hilty was very knowledgeable about family law and was able to guide me through the process. I felt he always 'had my back'. What I learned was that the reasons for the divorce and my marital problems had little or nothing to do with the law. He gave me invaluable legal advice and provided a listening ear when I needed to talk or share my concerns. The opposing lawyer may have been well qualified, but was unnecessarily mean-spirited. Mr. Blake was always professional, well-prepared and considerate of both sides. Blake was always available to me in a timely manner. He or his support staff were responsive to my communications and provided me with accurate and detailed accounts of my charges. I felt he understood my financial situation and did his best to keep our agreed upon budget. Perhaps more importantly, he is a proud dog owner, as am I.

Jeff Perkins

Very thoughtful h helpful folks.

I worked with Blake Hilty on a summary judgement that was brought forth in the midst of an ongoing custody dispute with my child's father. At the time when this summary judgement was made I had been working with another wonderful lawyer at McKinley Irvin, however, I ran out of funds preparing my response to this motion. Blake volunteered his time and skills to help me finalize my response and he also came to represent me in court at the hearing. We won the summary judgement and I was awarded full attorney's fees. I was beyond impressed with Blake's professionalism and strong presence in the courtroom, as well as his compassion and empathy to my situation. I felt like I was in good hands when Blake stepped forward to help me with this motion and it helped put some humanity back into this very difficult situation for me. I highly recommend Blake Hilty and any member of the McKinley Irvin group for anyone seeking effective and personable legal representation.
