There really arent words to describe what Lisa Ward has done for me. Lisa took a very messy and extremely complicated anti-harassment case against me and with true skill got it dismissed. I was so blindsided by the case against me that when I came to Lisa my anxiety was at an all-time high. She assured me that I could hand over my stress and anxiety to her and that she would do everything in her power to defend meand she did just that. I cant tell you the relief I felt every time I met with Lisa whether it was in her office or before/after the hearings. This case was moving fast and the evidence against me felt insurmountable. Lisa placed priority on my case because it was moving so quickly and sifted through the evidence with a fine-tooth comb, explained in detail all possible outcomes, and came up with a game plan in record time. Lisa knew my budget and she broke down exactly what was necessary and what wasnt and allocated her time and resources to make sure my money was being used efficiently. Watching Lisa walk into each court hearing gave me a sigh of relief. Her passion, poise, and skill in the courtroom is incredible. Navigating the noise of this case and sorting out what was relevant and what wasnt was masterfully done and led to the eventual dismissal of my case. Moreover, Lisa has a very personal approach with her clients. This was deeply important because this case was personally difficult and very close to home for me. Lisa was there for me whenever I needed her, checked in with me often, and I never had to wait for a response from her which is so critical when you have so many important questions. I strongly recommend Lisa Ward for any of your legal needs. I truly cant speak highly enough of her.

I worked with Lisa Ward on my case. I originally started with a different firm and quickly realized after the first court date that I needed better representation. I was very fortunate to have found that with Lisa Ward. She took time to sit down and review my case and explain in depth any questions I had. She provided an excellent service and never at any time did I feel rushed. As emotions can sometimes take the best of us all, Lisa, with the help of her team of paralegals, kept every expectation reasons and the process moving along a progressive rate. She not only focused on providing constant updates but also looked for moments when she could help keep the costs down as well.I am so thankful everyday to have had our paths cross and for the extremely positive outcome that we were able to obtain. I would most highly recommend Lisa to anyone. Thank you so much Lisa. I wish you all the best going forward into the new year.

Lisas service was invaluable to me as I had to navigate post-divorce stress and threats from my ex-husband. Every step of the way, Lisa confidently and professionally handled my questions and concerns in a timely matter. The cost of her service and legal expertise was commensurate with the peace of mind I received. Because of her efforts and swift legal action, Lisa was able to quickly resolve my matter. Even after our business was completed, Lisa made herself available to me within minutes after leaving a voicemail to answer another legal question I had. That made me feel valuable and important as a client. Im so appreciative of everything she did for me, and highly recommend her.

Halla Williams

I highly recommend Lisa Ward. I hired her to help with my parenting plan and for child support. She's very professional, personable, and eased my anxieties in what was a very emotional case. She explained every option that was available to me and responded quickly to my concerns. I appreciate her and her team for helping me finalize a parenting plan and child support. I'm glad and very grateful I found Lisa!

Matthew Kuehnl represented our case, which involved a contempt motion for unpaid shared parental costs, From the beginning, Matthew showed deep empathy and understanding of the issues and their impact on the children. He repeatedly proved himself to be a person who lives his values of care and concern and showed great patience and sensitivity all along the way. In court, he came thoroughly prepared, in command of the facts and details, and articulate in his presentation. In the office, he shows great respect and gratitude for the support staff, which speaks to his genuine character. McKinley Irvin is lucky to have him in the firm and we feel fortunate in finding him.

Zac Clark

I used Mr. Kuehnl while attempting to obtain custody of my daughter as well as defend myself against an unmerited protection order. His staff was very professional and capable. He adequately helped the judge see the truth in the protection order hearing. We did not end up having to litigate on the custody issue. He negotiated to help me obtain an end result that was best for my daughter.

Kelly Moore

I would like to thank Lisa Ward for her expert representation in my recent mediation/divorce. I felt I was very well represented through out the whole process. I appreciate how professional, efficient and highly capable she showed herself to be from day one through the end of mediation. Divorce is awful. Lisa helped me navigate some very tricky tax and legal issues to make sure issues were properly addressed, all the while keeping the painful process going as quickly as possible, thus saving on damage to my family, not to mention legal fees. The divorce will be final 90 days after filing. I highly recommend Lisa Ward to anyone needing a personable, efficient family law attorney. I would also like to thank her assistant, Lisa L. I appreciated your attention to detail and support during this painful process. Thank you both, ladies. I am grateful.

UltimateRisky

I had a somewhat complicated child custody case. As I did research to find a attorney, Lisa Wards name kept popping up with excellent reviews and plenty of recommendations. When meeting with Lisa, I could tell she was knowledgeable and experienced. I was especially impressed when she battled in court for my son and I. Should I ever need her expertise again, I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

DO NOT GO TO THIS BUSINESS, SAVE YOURSELF THE MONEY AND GRIEF!

I would recommend Lisa Ward to friends and family in need of professional and compassionate legal advice!When faced with no other alternative than divorce, my priority became searching for an attorney with a philosophy similar to mine: that a divorce does not have to mean an ugly and extended court fight. I found that in Lisa Ward.Lisa listened and gave solid and caring advice that enabled my ex-partner and I to work things out with Lisas mediation. While we could no longer life in the same household, we continued to care about each other and wanted to remain on friendly terms.I had moved from Vancouver to the Seattle area by then. Lisa and her staff made it possible for me to have video appointments, sign papers remotely, so I would not have to travel back to Clark County.After careful listening, Lisa put together a proposal that was acceptable to both parties. She answered each of our questions with compassion while remaining realistic and impartial. She always followed up with each of us, listening, with advice for next steps and the best legal actions to take. Lisa not only mediated the dissolution of the marriage, she remained a strong source of support and advice through the sale of the joined home as well. From initial contact to final distribution of the house proceeds the process took just 7 months. The divorce was final within 4 months.To me this was a better experience than I could have hoped for. Thank you, Lisa Ward!

Elaine Frakes

Casey Sanders and his paralegal Karrey were a dream to work with. Recently went through a divorce and I dont think the process could have been easier than these two made it for me. Questions were always answered quickly and I feel I was given real, reasonable advice and realistic expectations.

Sarah Villanueva

I consulted with Lisa and asked her a million questions. She was knowledgeable and patient. I did hire as my ghost lawyer and she made me feel at ease and satisfied with the divorce paperwork. She kept checking in and communicating up to the very day of the divorce and she checked in with me after. Thank you Lisa for a stress free process with one of the hardest things to do in life!

jeremy brock

I was lucky enough to have Teresa Foster representing me! No divorce is easy but Teresa guided me through the process with her knowledge and incredible wit. Thank you Teresa for negotiating the terms of my divorce and getting me 50/50 custody. If you want someone that will fight for you and your rights as a father then you need to hire Teresa!

Cory Gadwood

Lisa Ward and her team came to my rescue during an exceptionally ugly divorce. She was recommended from both a family member and via her stellar on-line reviews. After a terrible and traumatic experience with another attorney I had to fire, she gladly took over my case, tidied it up, and made it her mission to not only repair the damage already done, but to do all she could do to help me.At the time I met her, I wasn't eating, shaking with anxiety, and having the worst stress of my life. I had no energy to stick up for myself and fight for my rights. However, an immense weight was lifted off my shoulders once I realized that her and her team were were certainly going to walk me through every step, take a personal interest in my case, and help reassure me through the whole process. They kept me completely informed of my current status regarding my case, my financial standing, and what I could expect in the future.Her expertise and care helped me think clearly, substantially decreased my anxiety, and ultimately gave me my life back. Whereas the previous lawyer kept me in the dark, ran erroneous charges, took on my case like he was going to battle so he could get more money from me, Lisa did the opposite. She took a collaborative approach to keep costs and the length of the divorce process down. I still get asked by people how in the world did I get through such a dramatic divorce so quickly and I reply 'with the best divorce attorney one could possibly acquire.' I highly recommend Lisa as the most effective divorce attorney around. If it weren't for her being my lawyer, my outcome would've been a tragedy, but instead it was a complete win both mentally and financially.

LuvMyLydia

Lisa Ward at this location is absolutely amazing! She comes very highly recommended. She is a very thorough and responsive lawyer. She is compassionate and at the same time wont give you false hope. I have used her for two cases and could not be more pleased! She is worth the money and more. McKinley Irvin is very lucky to have her! -Amanda-

Dan Mo

I would highly recommend Lisa Martin to anyone in need of legal help in family law. I entered a divorce litigation anxious of how it would end, and in the whole process Lisa patiently walked me through the case, patiently explained to me what I need to know, and set expectations, and every step of the way she got me more than what's expected. Lisa is also good at calming me down when I was frustrated, with laid out strategies and explaining to me what the opposite side is attempting to achieve, and how I should respond, and how to prepare. With Lisa's consultation and help, I came out of a settlement conference over financial matters with sound outcomes. Then Lisa helped me to avoid a potentially costly trial over parenting plan, and got that part settled in an arbitration in my favor. So now the case is over, I got more residential time with my child, and able to maintain myself financially, all because of Lisa's help, her expertise in family law and her diligence in handling my case have turned things around for my case!

Tanya Smith

Matthew Kuehnl has been representing me in my divorce. He has been absolutely incredible; I consider it a blessing that I found him. Before meeting Matthew, I was set on using a female lawyer and was not open to using a male. I met with him for a consolation and after getting to know him I came to realize that he was caring, trustworthy, intelligent, and able to stand by my family in the ways we needed. When I retained Matthew I was completely naive in my understanding of how difficult my divorce would be. Matthew jumped into action when the divorce started taking a turn for the worse. BECAUSE he is by my side, I have the peace of mind I need to make it through a very difficult time. He has shown the perfect balance of caring about everyone affected by this divorce and fighting for what is best for the kids and I. He has been impressive in court; he is smart, well spoken, and quick on his toes. He has proved that he cares about my children and I by standing up for us in and outside of the court room too many times to count. He has gone above and beyond for us. Matthew has not been afraid to let me know the ways I can do better, especially the ways I need to stand up for myself and have my own back. This has been tremendously important for me and I do not believe another lawyer could have shown up for me in the ways he has. I am so grateful for the peace of mind I have with him by my side.

Justin Lei

Besides providing a high level of expertise in his area of practice, Mr. Gross and his team were also understanding, patient, and supportive in what I'm sure many would find to be a highly stressful and uncertain time of their lives. I would 100% recommend them to others that find themselves in similar situations.

Alvir Sljivar

I am extremely pleased with how Casey Sanders and Kerry Komp, handled my Divorce case. They responded to any questions or requests same day, typically and hour after sending them an email. The entire process was explained in detail and I was kept in the loop on everything that was happening. I am very grateful I retained such a great Lawyer.

Cassie Williams

I got the pleasure of working with Matthew Kuehnl for my custody/child support case. He advocated and stood up for my kid and myself both in mediation and attorney to attorney interactions. He was very much a straight shooter but left the ball in my court recognizing I hired him to do the legal part but the final decision was always mine. I never felt blind sided about what the next step was and always felt informed on expectations of the process. He was quick to respond to my concerns/emails and understanding that the entire process was nothing but nerve racking for me. Very personable too.

Courtney Slaughter

Lisa Ward was absolutely amazing! She helped relieve all of my fears and anxieties right away. She was honest, caring, efficient and worked so hard with great attention to detail. She was my backbone and voice. She always stood up for what was right and fair in my case . She helped me understand the process we were going through with each aspect of my case and kept me well informed at all times. She replied back to me right away with emails and calls. She instilled confidence in me with her expertise and genuine care. I couldn't have asked for a better person and attorney to work with. I am so grateful for her and I can finally breath easy again. Thank you so much Lisa!

Melody Morrow

Was to be a simple relocation motion. David G represented my husband. First error was David did not provide court with prev PP for Judge to review. Did judge know he had 60/40 and joint decision making? No...stepped out of courtroom that first 10 min hearing with alt weekends and a dinner date with ex having 100% control of decision making. Unheard of! David was not a good advocate for us. He encouraged us not to attend the second hearing, missed items placed in PP that was not ruled on that opposing counsel added without discussion which will now cost us time and money in the future, was not timely in returning emails, when spoke via phone he sure let us know how busy he was with other cases. I wish he tended to our case as closely as he did with others. We paid our bill in full due to accuring interest but had many questions not answered. We were charged for phone conversations that David said he wouldn't charge us for. We went with this firm due to the high ratings online. Very disappointed. One could say we our jaded that our case didn't go in our favor but this was to be a simple motion to put in place what had already been through the courts. We feel David was unprepared and not a strong advocate for us.....that is the disappointing part when you pay almost $400/hour you expect to have strong representation. I have reached out multiple times trying to follow up with owners of firm. I want to know if this company feels comfortable with accepting our payment for the service that was provided to us. No response. That is why they no longer represent us.

Eleanor Livengood

I spent $62,000 on a divorce/custody case and got nowhere.Ended up firing them and hiring someone else.They also had the nerve to raise their hourly rate by $50, after I'd signed a contract.Do NOT hire them!!!!!

Donald Kowatch

McKinley/Irvin is lucky have Lisa Ward for many reasons - the least of which is her professionalism poise and her attention to detail. She has always told me the truth regarding possible outcomes based on the law and not emotion. She is personable, warm and very encouraging. In addition all of her assistants reflected her same qualities of warmth and availability. While it is evident that she is a very busy with her case load she always made time and I was made to feel as I was her most important client as this complicated process unfolded. The important thing that I became aware as this process grew was that she always made sure that I understood the law as we moved along this path of closure. She listened to my input and kept me on track as to my options at each fork in the road. I would HIGHLY recommend Lisa to ANYONE. McKinley Irvin is lucky to have Lisa represent both her profession and her firm.

Suzanne Keirstead

I was referred to Teresa Foster by an attorney in Portland. This was the first time in my life that I was represented by an attorney in a legal proceeding. I was blown away by the entire experience and am absolutely convinced that I could not have hired a better lawyer/team to represent me. Teresa is an amazing attorney who comes with the added bonus of her exceptional paralegal Chriss Elliott. From the first moment I met Teresa and Chriss, I felt instantly at ease and assured that I was hiring the absolute best. Throughout the entire process, they were consummate professionals, extremely knowledgeable, and compassionate. They promptly responded to my messages and always kept the lines of communication open. I continuously felt in the loop about the next steps. Nothing fell through the cracks. They go the extra mile and beyond for their clients. When I needed a certified copy of my divorce order immediately after it was finalized (for a time-sensitive issue), Chriss went to court on my behalf and picked up a copy for me. My divorce was one of the most stressful times of my life. However, Teresa and Chriss were the silver lining to the whole experience. I am so thankful that I was referred to Teresa and had the privilege of hiring her and working with her and Chriss. Teresa gave me the best legal advice possible and the end result far exceeded my expectations. She is a masterful negotiator. She absolutely shines in this arena and makes it look effortless. Teresa is worth her weight in gold. Hire her!

Sarah Hastings

Lisa Ward is an amazing attorney. She has the best interest of the child in mind at all times. She is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She is not judgemental and is very professional and friendly. She also responds to every email in a timely manner (including sometimes in her personal time) and returns phone calls every time. I would recommend her to anyone needing family law assistance.

Patrick Pierson

Lisa Ward at McKinley Irvin was the perfect lawyer for me. And Id highly recommend her to anyone. Cool, calm and collected when I wasnt. Calculated and measured, again, when I wasnt. If youre reading this, its likely not the best of times. Lisas outstanding skill set, both interpersonal and professional, will help get you through it. Her performance throughout the two year process of my divorce was nothing short of stellar. To be sure; there are no winners in a divorce but with Lisas help, the outcome of my own was far better then I had dared to hope for in the beginning.Less

Robyn Russell

Great firm that is detail oriented and listens to what you want while being realistic about your choices. I thoroughly enjoyed working with the 2 attorneys I had as well as their paralegal. Mine was a pong arduous divorce but I always knew they were their to represent my sons and my best interest. Thanks, McKinley Irvin!

Tanya Irvin

From start to finish, the office of McKinley & Irvin have been very processional. Casey Sanders and his assistant has handled every aspect with care and very professional. Thank you very much.

STEVEN Spigel

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Lisa Ward for the past half year as we navigated our way through a sticky relocation case. She excelled in nearly every facet of the case from litigation to her in depth knowledge of case law. But what will always stick with me was her honesty, integrity and emotional investment in our case. She never told us what we wanted to hear or promised us anything. But she was always responsive and caring in relation to our case. We did win the case but even if we had lost we were comfortable with the outcome as Lisa truly did everything possible- even when other attorneys said we had no chance. Lisa Ward is an amazing attorney that we will forever be grateful for.

Marquis Anderson

I had the absolute pleasure of having David Gross (along with his paralegal Karrey Komp) represent me in a custody case. David is phenomenal! He went above and beyond my expectations. My case was a long drawn out one that lasted almost 6 months when it realistically shouldnt have! My ex husband was asking for 50/50 custody. After I was served papers I was quickly looking up excellent law firms in Vancouver, and came across Mckinley Irvin! I fully understand why they are so highly rated- every one is very professional, compassionate and understanding and David was quick to respond to all of my emails answering multiple questions I had. He tried his very best to conserve money for us, as he fought for me to keep my daughter. I 10/10 would recommend him! He is excellent at his job (very knowledgeable) and will fight hard for the outcome you want!

Brenda Rule

Lisa Ward Performed a Stellar JobI commend Lisa Ward to you unreservedly. When I entered the divorce attorney market after 27 years of marriage, I felt vulnerable, uninformed, and completely out of my comfort zone. I spent a couple weeks asking myself questions, and answering them so that when I interviewed attorneys I would not forget something. When I first met Lisa and explained my situation, I felt she understood exactly where I was coming from. When I asked her questions, she looked me in the eye and replied in a way that was instructional and compassionate. She did not sugarcoat or try to lead me down a primrose path. When I saw we were on the same page I retained her. She expertly guided me through the year-long process, keeping me updated and informed of my options. Through her negotiating skills, Lisa attained a better-than-I-imagined settlement for me, erasing the uncertainties and costs of litigation. From beginning to end, Lisa was in my court. She did a stellar job.

Jason Olson

The experience of a divorce is certainly not a pleasant one and it was comforting to know my attorney had my back. I worked with Matt Kuehnl, and while he was a somewhat random selection for attorney I enjoyed working with him and his firm throughout the process resulting in a relatively smooth conclusion. The reputation attorneys have is do whatever it takes to keep the meter moving and rack up those fees and I never got that feeling from Matt from my side. Although it was an expensive process the outcome was fair and pretty much as Matt expected it would be and there were no big surprises in the end. I would definitely recommend Matt if you are in a similar situation.

Laura Rudolph

Lisa did a fantastic job in my divorce. She kept in constant contact with me and responded to my emails and messages right away. Lisa took her time with me at our meetings and she gave me strength and understanding during a very stressful and confusing time in my life. Lisa is a wonderful attorney and I highly recommend her.

A. Pearson

McKinley Irvin, and in particular Lisa Ward, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in my legal matters. This was my first time needing the services of a lawyer and she helped me understand how my case would proceed. She did an excellent job representing me in court and it resulted in a ruling in my favor. I would highly recommend Lisa Ward to anyone needing help with their Family Law matters.

Derrick Pinetti

Lisa took over my case after my initial attorney left the firm to become a DA. Lisa then learned my case, returned my my emails and call promptly, and negotiated fairly according the law. Lisas knowledge of family matters showed in her work. She is a hard worker, very friendly and is not biased. She will tell the truth and work very hard for her client. I Highly recommend Lisa

Eric Soder

Casey Sanders represented myself in a post educational support case in which he did a great job from beginning to end. He guided me through the process and completed everything he said he would. He was very cautious with my expectations of the outcome. I would recommend Casey to anyone in need of representation in any type of family law situation.

Jennifer Young

I would highly urge anyone in need of a strong, competent, and ethical attorney to use Lisa Ward. She readily discussed my case openly and in an unbiased and frank manor. Her costs are not only reasonable, but much less than her ability is worth. She is extremely capable, intelligent and refreshingly honest and I consider her the finest attorney in SW Washington.

Michelle Lawrence

Divorce can be a very ugly, stressful, and greatly unfortunate life event. For me, it made me feel lost, hurt, fearful, and extraordinarily vulnerable. Once I made the decision that this was the path I needed to take, I made the decision to seek legal counsel. Honestly it did not even occur to me to handle it myself. Also, I didnt have enough trust in my then husband to even contemplate an amicable agreement. I researched firms online and McKinley Irvin stood out repeatedly as a reputable and effective firm. Read through many profiles and was highly impressed. I was assigned Teresa Foster, Senior Partner in Charge in Vancouver WA. She was selected because she is very experienced. Important for me due to a significant income difference between myself and ex. I met with Teresa and our talk was very clear and to the point. It wasnt a therapy session. It was a this is how I see the situation. This is what I recommend. These would be the next steps. This was exactly what I needed ..... direction and clarity. And my perception was that I could trust this direction and Teresa.Also, in understanding that this was all very overwhelming, Teresa extended the offer for me to call/text her with questions as as needed. I took comfort in her leadership and unwavering confidence. As a Senior partner her plate was not at all empty but I was pleasantly surprised at my experience with Teresas paralegal Chriss Elliott when I needed anything and Teresa was not available. Truly a dynamic duo. Always so pleasant and accommodating. They both have the same lets get it done attitude. There was no feet dragging and never any disregard. Chriss, also experienced the overwhelmed me and each and every time (there were several) our discussions made me feel so much better. I was impressed by so much, but as the dust cleared I realized how thankful I was by Teresa Fosters focus, confidence, intelligence to grasp a significant amount of information and know exactly how to proceed, clarity on the goal....and then achieving that goal. I have heard many stories of the lack of trust or confidence others had with their attorney and Im so thankful that my experience was the complete opposite. I had 100% trust. My divorce ended with as equitable (WA state) outcome as I could have asked. Whether or not it was deserved by him was not relevant, living in a community property state, but it could have been so much worse in many ways and for this I will forever be grateful. I feel so very fortunate to have found both Teresa Foster and Chriss Elliott.

Chio Saechao

Lisa Ward handled my 3rd party custody and DVPO case with both professionalism and kindness. I am beyond grateful to her and would recommend her to anybody seeking to obtain custody of their child. She is confident and very communicative every step of the way.

Ken Breuer

Teresa and Chriss were awesome! Divorce is a difficult and exhausting endeavor, but these two ladies kept the process going! Many thanks!!

Jeremy Williams

Casey and Karrey did an amazing Job with my case. They fought for me and I got everything I was asking for. So happy that I went with them!!

Dana P

Lisa Ward was very helpful and knowledgeable in assisting me with my legal matters. Her excellent job in representing me in court resulted in the ruling in my favor. After my case I saw another person ask for her business card to seek assistance with their case. I would recommend Lisa Ward to assist you in your family law matters.

Michael Pfeifer

I highly recommend Teresa Foster and her paralegal Chriss Elliott. I needed an attorney with in one day, and I got my call returned the same day. Teresa Met with me the very next day and I hired her by lunch time. My problem was I had to move fast to get a restraining order to protect my self and my 15 year old daughter. We had a domestic violence issue and needed a quick solution. That same afternoon Teresa and I went to my soon to be ex-wife's hearing and Teresa told the judge that she was representing me. She was already working on the restraining order while sitting at the hearing with me. I was so relieved for my daughter, my home and myself that she could not return to the residence. Safety for us was Teresa's first priority. Months later Teresa's high skills paid off. Teresa is so smart, has quick thinking ability, caring and is a very good listener. I won the case and most importantly won full custody of my daughter. I also did not have to pay any alimony at all even after a 16 year marriage. I am so thankful for what Teresa had done. I believe she saved more then one persons life. If you need an attorney look no further then Teresa Foster. She may save your life to. Thank you Teresa.

Theodore Fox

Teresa Foster is an extremely efficient, and helpful divorce attorney. I had an attorney prior to retaining Teresa and it was a very negative experience. After retaining Teresa I saw immediate positive results. This was not only a divorce case it was child custody also. Teresa has amazing ways of taking chaotic and confusing situations and simplifying them. She then makes priority of what needs to happen first. Then her vast knowledge of law starts to shine. Not only does she prepare to understand your case, she also understands the opposing attorney. She goes into court expecting and predicting anything that can happen. This has a very positive result on the goals you set in the initial consultation. Teresa takes minimal time to decipher what needs to happen. I'm very grateful for all she has done for me and my family. My only regret is not retaining her in the beginning.

Timothy Deaton

Horrible experience with this firm. Matt was my lawyer and he really took me for everything he could which was odd since he was suppose to be my lawyer. Delayed filing for child custody for five months. Only returned one phone call in eight months and it was him yelling at me for being upset with him never returning my phone calls; he always chose emails and charged outrages rates for them. Failed to file the correct paperwork and failed to use the correct verbiage for a mutually deeded home thus now I require another lawyer to fix his mistake. Would definitely suggest seeking representation elsewhere, with someone that has your best interests in mind.I failed to mention some very important details in my original review. They have no clue how to assist those in the military! Matt lied about having an attorney in the firm, located in Seattle, that dealt with military divorces. He never got back to me on how my retirement would be effected or steps I needed to take to safeguard my benefits. Matt relies heavily on paralegals to do his work. So you get the pleasure of paying multiple wages for a response or an action to be taken. Paralegals will also mishandle your private information by mistakenly emailing them to random clients. I received documents from two paralegals that contained working documents for other clients. Paralegals are not the only ones that make mistakes in mishandling documents. Matt also mishandles paperwork which delayed my divorce by another two months, but they were kind enough not to charge me for that particular court appearance; WOW! So be warned, their level of quality control and customer relations is not on par with their cost!

Chase Halthen

I hired Lisa Ward. She was wonderful to work with, and very knowledgeable with family law, and very responsive. Lisa and her staff were very helpful and responsive to my questions and concerns. I would hire her again.

Keith R

Teresa is extremely knowledgable, proactive, and is very easy to get in touch with and communicate with. She is an alpha in the court room and she was efficient and diligent throughout the whole legal process. I absolutely would recommend her to anyone.

Donny Reed

McKinley Irvin, and specifically Matt Kuehnl have been of immense value to my family! Every member of their staff that I spoke with was empathetic, understanding, and helpful. Matt did a wonderful job preparing our case, ensuring we presented an incredibly strong argument to the court. Matt was able quell our fears, strengthen our resolve, and keep us peaceful. Having him in the courtroom was such a blessing. He is very well spoken, and did a fantastic job presenting our case. I will happily recommend his services to anyone in need of a family law practitioner. Thank you so much for all you have done!

Margaret Weber

I can't recommend Teresa Foster enough; only wished I hired her sooner. She is diligent, professional, direct, and a necessary asset for any divorce or custody battle, especially in a high-conflict divorce such as mine. Teresa is clearly an expert in her field, will fight for you, and treat you will respect.
