Cheryl and her team do amazing work. The team truly cares about the client and the outcome of the case. When you invest in this law firm, they invest in you. The most enlightening thing about this firm is their straight-forward approach to the situation. They will give sound legal advice, while teaching you why at the same time. Thank you for all you have done for my family and I!!

They have a $100 consultation fee that is not divulged upfront. When I arrived, I was informed of the fee. I explained that I was not told about this upfront. I then apologized and took responsibility for assuming it was free and not asking myself. There was no acknowledgment, apology, or responsibility taken on their end. It was just a very cold, "Well this is how it is" response. It is not about the money, although there are many firms out there who offer free consultations, it was their inability to handle the conflict in fair, honest, and compassionate manner that really turned me off. I was very disappointed in the way I was treated by this firm. I would not recommend them.

McKinley Irvin has the best attorneys. I could not have asked for greater attorneys by my side through a difficult time. Anthony Zorich and Lindsay Camandona are the absolute best!

Extremely helpful, full of integrity. They worked tirelessly on the case in which I was involved. Couldn’t have asked for better representation.

I sent a completed questionnaire back to you and I hear crickets. I get brave enough to post on Facebook & you start to care? You hire attorney's who aren't compassionate. I got a declaration from your office for $17,000. My car is worth less than that. Your office is about the money. Sending positive vibes to each of you. May you truly learn how to be respectful to your clients. Below is a snap shot of Mr Marc telling me to take it or leave it after you had my money. Seriously, I wish each of you kindness.

Worst money pit experience ever! Values professed in Mission Statement and Philosophy were never part of our experience. Also communication skills did not exist,

Attorney Jamie Walker and Paralegal Kendra Lytle are superb!

I contacted Miryana Gerassimova in May 2017 when my ex-wife served me with papers to pay for college for my children. Not only were the papers a surprise, but they were served on short notice with little turn around time to prepare for court proceedings. Ms. Gerassimova willingly took the case despite the quick turnaround. Ms. Gerassimova and her paralegal, Shelley Solie, were thorough in their preparation, had a keen understanding of family law in Washington State, were easily accessible, and provided much needed moral support when needed. They worked tirelessly to successfully present my case. Most important, however, is that Ms. Gerassimova worked to earn my trust. Given the sensitive nature of these proceedings, I felt the utmost confidence in sharing with Ms. Gerassimova sensitive and specific information related to the proceedings. I've since recommended McKinley Irvin, Ms. Gerassimova more specifically, to friends in similar situations. She's got a client for life and I will most certainly continue to recommend her services to future, potential clients.

$9,000 for a simple child support modification. They aren't willing to work out any reasonable payment plans after they suck up all your trust fund. Plus, we didn't even have positive results after our case. $12,000 to have it lowered $100. Terrible!!!!! Not to mention terrible communication. We didn't even find out details about our case until 7hrs later. Please...be careful. Find another company. Please read the agreement and fine print to your contract. I feel that we got scammed.

I hired Ms. Stewart to represent me during a separation board. I had received an Article 15 for wrongful use that I didn’t commit, and since I didn’t meet the seven criteria for a waiver, my commander served me discharge paperwork. Originally the USAF ADC represented me, but after the first defense counsel PCS’d and the second one made a comment “If our luck holds out we will win” I decided to seek civilian counsel. Ms. Stewart was highly recommended and respected. I gave her a call and scheduled a meeting to see what she was all about. My first impression was that she was very professional and extremely passionate about what she does. This was the same type of passion I found in myself and I decided to hire her. I had found myself in a tight spot when I had woken up with memory loss and vague recollection of events from the day prior. What I knew for sure was that I had two drinks before everything went foggy. The next day I started to feel ill and went to the military hospital. They drew blood, urine, and came to the conclusion that I was dehydrated and sent me home on 24hr quarters. I continued to feel different and decided to seek a second opinion from a civilian hospital. By this point I though I might have been drugged and asked the civilian hospital to run more extensive testing. The hospital told me that they found a substance in my system. I immediately notified my chain of command that then called OSI. I found myself under investigation for wrongful use. After the investigation was complete, I received an Article 15, demoted and issued separation paperwork. The thing was they never did a thorough investigation. All they had was a failed UA, which I had notified my chain of command to begin with. The first thing that Ms. Stewart did was to conduct an investigation into the allegation against me. During the separation board all the evidence that we had acquired during our investigation was presented to the board members. Ms. Stewart proved to be the most knowledgeable in the room and repeatedly took control of the courtroom. She picked apart everything the government was throwing at me, even using the government’s witnesses as witnesses for our defense. In the end, the board members found that there was no finding for discharge and that I did not commit the offense brought against me in the Article 15. I will always be grateful for the tenacity of Ms. Stewart and how she honorably represented me. She had never lost faith in me, and I could never repay her. My only regret is that I didn’t hire her sooner. Anyone who finds themselves in a jam and has the full weight of the government coming down on them would be a fool to not hire Ms. Stewart.

After an incredibly tumultuous and litigious case that spanned some 7 years, McKinley Irvin Family Law was brought on board. Jaime Walker and her staff were absolutely amazing and professional in every detail of their preparation, and presentation in our case. She effectively shut down the circus on the other side and I am finally back to a normal family life that is absent of litigation. Thank you McKinley Irvin!
