Jennifer Payseno and her team at McKinley Irvin are extremely professional, very organized, know the law extremely well, did not get emotional/stayed professional, they're fair, they ask great questions, they listen (& remembered!, my answers), they stay calm, cool and collected, responded to all of my inquiries, helped me remain calm during a most difficult time in my life, and they were very kind to me.

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. My mom was dying of Pancreatic Cancer at the time. Their thorough guidance was invaluable. Most importantly, she and all on her team were exceptionally responsive to ALL my inquiries. I was well informed about realistic expectations and what she could negotiate on my behalf. She closed the financials of a multi million dollar, 26 year marriage in 6 months. My husband fired his lawyer and even trusted Jennifer to complete the Divorce. I expressed a small part of my gratitude with Glassy-baby: Awesome ain’t Easy!

I hired Ms. Payseno for my divorce and child custody case. I believe her knowledge of the process and skill in navigating the law and procedures is what won my case. She stays the course and keeps things above board. She is clear with the strategy and, along with her staff, is available and understanding of the difficult time this is for most people. Ms. Payseno genuinely cares about her clients and I trust her implicitly.

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. This was an extremely hostile divorce. Jennifer was extremely patient, answered my questions promptly, worked hard, and stayed focused on what was important in getting my case settled.

I hired Jennifer when I realized my ex was an out of control narcissistic lying Pro Se who would stop at nothing to crush me financially and emotionally. I needed a tough and experienced attorney who could protect and defend my interests. Jennifer was just perfect. She caught on with every little detail of my case early on and never stopped to amaze me. She is the right mix of tough and compassionate and was simply magnificent in court, with so much ease and poise. I did not always listened to her or liked what she had to tell me, but I realized early on that she was very realistic with potential outcomes, knowledgeable, very bright and relentless in her pursuit of justice for her clients. She was always right on. I was an emotional wreck during my 15 months ordeal, but Jennifer always sorted through feelings and facts gently and had my best interest at heart. She was available via email during business hours, but also at night and in weekends. Her team Kristina, Jessica and John were just wonderful to work with. My case got complicated with a bankruptcy filed by my ex, Jennifer never skipped a beat and was able to use it to my advantage. We went through numerous motions and hearings and even though there is never a real winner or loser in a divorce, Jennifer won every battle for me. The finale will always be unforgettable to me: After Jennifer finished a magnificent presentation while digging deep into the complex laws of bankruptcy, the judge scolded my ex, attacked his credibility, threatened him of sanctions and awarded me the house he had been trying to steal from me for years. This was just priceless. I ended up settling my case a week before trial due to financial reasons, but there is no doubt in my mind, that had I gone to trial, Jennifer would have won that last battle for me and the ex would have got what he deserved. I was in great hands through this painful process and would definitely recommend Jennifer and her team to anyone finding themselves in a highly contested divorce. She is simply the best. The downside is that her firm is very expensive, I did cringe at the 6 figures I had to spend, but I really got what I paid for, the best representation. She gave me my life back.

Jennifer and her team did an excellent job on my case. It was a very complicated case that required much time. Jennifer had been recommended to me by a friend. After reviewing her and the firm, I determined that it would be too expensive to go with her. I went to another attorney first, that wasn't getting me anywhere so I went to another and another! After three attorneys and a serious mistake made by the third, I reached out to Jennifer. She was compassionate, knowledgeable and in the end we were more successful in saving my family and my hard earned assets than I could of hoped for. The costs were extraordinary but I believe if I had gone with Jennifer from the beginning it would have been more manageable. I highly recommend Jennifer and would have gladly given five stars except for the high cost of the litigation.

I was in a difficult position with an attorney that was not representing me well and was actually undermining my position. I met with Jennifer. She agreed to take my case, which ended up being much more complicated and convoluted than it should have, through no fault of hers. She represented me very well, always trying to achieve the best outcome for me. In one hearing, the word "poised" came to mind while watching her address the commissioner. It was obvious she knew her facts, supported them with appropriate case law and was fair. She tried on several occasions to save both me and my ex-wife attorney's fees by educating opposing counsel but was unsuccessful.
Jennifer and her team (Jessica and Kristina) work well together and definitely know their stuff. I would not hesitate to seek their counsel again if I had a difficult legal matter. The only thing to be aware of is this firm is not inexpensive. Although expensive, throughout the entire matter I always felt like I was well-represented, and I was being heard by my attorneys.

I can't recommend Jennifer Payseno and I can't recommend this firm. She is unresponsive and outrageously expensive. I spent the vast majority of my time communicating with her paralegal, who I happen to like, but nevertheless is not worth the $2,500 I paid in less than one weeks time for setup fees. For her part, I basically just got generic information and pleasantries for $1,200. When I figured out my ex-wife was spending about 1/3 on her attorney who was a lot more proactive in filing the initial divorce (that I kept asking to be filed first) and more aggressive, I knew I had to get another attorney but not before the firm collection person started hounding me for more money even after little work has been done.

Twenty months ago, devastated by the sudden end of a long term marriage, I sought legal counsel. I met with and retained Jennifer Payseno. I was impressed by her ability to sort through my emotional issues while highlighting all of the important legal concerns that would be affecting my case. As my spouse was in the legal profession, she understood the need for me to have an advocate that could “level the playing field.” I found her advice to be straightforward, clear and calming. This was especially important at a time in my life where I found decision making difficult. She was responsive to each and every one of my concerns. Jennifer and her team mastered the complicated components of my family business that confounded easy solutions in settlement. As additional life changing events occurred during this process, Jennifer had continuing compassion for me and a strategy for all the new legal issues these changes presented. I have known her during the most difficult time of my life and found her work for me to be thorough, strategic, professional and compassionate. I would recommend her and her team of Jessica Moore and Kristina Zimmerman to anyone who finds their marital life compromised and who needs a strong, clear thinking advocate.

Jennifer and her team went above and beyond for me. Jennifer exudes a combination of compassion and strength which gave me a sense of peace in an otherwise extremely stressful time in my life.
i am thankful for Jennifer and her team for their diligent and honest work ethic.
