I worked with Brien on updating both a parenting plan and child support worksheet that were five years old. I found both he and his paralegal to be knowledgeable, responsive, and efficient and I will be recommending him to any friends seeking legal advice for divorce or updating their legal agreements.

I've worked with Brien twice now, in 2011 and 2015. He is diligent, sharp, and trustworthy. He gets things done. I hope to not need a family law attorney ever again but if I did I'd work with Brien again without any hesitation.

I hired Brien for 2 family court cases and he was a great help in keeping me from giving in to my emotions and settling early. He was early to the hearing and was very prepared. His insight into tricks of the trade were invaluable!

I consulted with Brien Galbraith regarding a dissolution. He was knowledgeable about the law and empathetic toward my situation. He gave me excellent advice and answered all my questions. Having the information Brien provided I was equipped to make decisions regarding my future. I would highly recommend him.

My case was handled by Brien Galbraith in the Seattle office of McKinley Irvin, with the very able assistance of his paralegal Joshua Dawson. The case has reached what may very well turn out to be a temporary conclusion. I have withdrawn my petition entirely of my own volition out of what might well be regarded as overblown concern for the other party. It is very possible that I may reopen it in a few months as other events transpire, and I have every intention of continuing my relationship with Brien Galbraith in that event. My earliest contact with the firm was one of friendly professionalism; this extended to friendly and courteous reception staff, and the delightful lady who looks after the firms accounts, and continued always in this vein. Billing and fees were handled with professionalism and courtesy, and I regard as entirely reasonable in terms of work done and services rendered. Both Brien Galbraith and Joshua Dawson were good humored, compassionate and professional and always seemed available. In particular, my case involves necessary access to relationship details and health records of a very personal nature, and these details were handled at all times with delicacy and understanding. At the beginning of my contact with Brien Galbraith, full details of my health issues were still being uncovered, and I was just beginning a treatment of medication which took some months to settle, Brien Galbraith handled this with great understanding, and his advice I have found always to be very sound and most insightful. In summary, I am more than happy with the service that I have received from McKinley Irvin and Brien Galbraith. If and when I choose to reopen my case, I have no hesitation in placing myself in the hands of Brien Galbraith and his associates, and can only recommend the services of his firm with well merited praise of the highest order.

My husband and I hired Brien to help my daughter with a parenting plan for our grandaughter. He was knowledgeable and very compassionate. We found him always available to answer question and he made us feel comfortable about the decisions we made for a fair plan for our granddaughter. He also knew when to turn up the heat to get the plan accomplished without going to trial. We highly recommend Brien Galbraith.

He worked hard on my case while being compassionate and understanding through my difficult time.

I hired Brien on a dissolution matter. He was personable, efficient, and knowledgeable. He always promptly answered my emails and I was never left wondering the status of my case. I was honest in the beginning about my financial limitations and Brien was able to work within my parameters. I am happy with the outcome of my case and there were no financial surprises and when my case was over. I was promptly refunded the money I had remaining in trust. I would happily recommend him to anyone needing a family law attorney.
