I worked with Lindsay Camandona and have since referred her to multiple friends and colleagues. My divorce took a little over three months from the time I met her until the time that it was finalized. I was very satisfied with the outcome of the divorce and I came out further ahead than I would have if I didn't have an attorney involved. Lindsay responds in a very timely manner. I worked directly with her the majority of the time. She is knowledgeable and always provided me with realistic information. Divorce is an emotional process and Lindsay recognizes this and yet stays focused on the outcome at the same time. I found Lindsay online and chose her based on the reviews I read and I am glad that I did. If I had to do it all over again (thankfully I don't!) I would hire Lindsay again in a heartbeat.

Jamie Walker and Kendra are easy to work with and professional. They show you compassion!

I would recommend McKinley Irvin to anyone going through one of the most difficult seasons anyone can experience. In my case - divorce. Jamie and Kendle handled my case with grace and professionalism. I can't thank them enough.

I hired Ms. Jocelyn Stewart to represent me during my General Court Martial. I had been charged with one specification of false official statement and three specifications of unprofessional relationship. I was scared and felt completely alone. After just one phone call with Ms. Stewart, I felt renewed with hope. I knew without a doubt, I wanted her on my side. She was always honest with me and I leaned on her and her significant legal experience. In court, she was aggressive in her defense, yet extremely professional. She not only got the specification of false official statement suppressed and thrown out, but I was also acquitted on all remaining specifications. Sadly, the Air Force chose to pursue a second investigation against me only one month after my acquittal. I did not hesitate to re-engage Ms. Stewart concerning this second investigation. Months went by before the Air Force did decide to proceed with a Special Court Martial on one specification of unprofessional relationship. I am happy to report that this case never even made it to trial with the representation of Ms. Stewart. She is 100% thorough in everything she does and because of this, the charge was dropped in its entirety. Because of Ms. Stewart I was able to continue with my Air Force career. I did, however, decide it was time for a change and opted to transition from active duty to Air Froce Reserves. Because of Ms. Stewart I am still continuing on in over 14 years of honorable service to the United States Air Force. There is no dollar amount you can place on what she did for me. I would do it all again. I will never be able to thank her enough. While it was unfortunate that I found myself in such a horrible situation, I felt honored to be represented by one of the best military law attorneys out there. If you are facing military legal matters, please let Ms. Stewart fight for you. You will not be disappointed.

I expected so much more... I could have done my own parenting plan, but I wanted a lawyer to be sure it was done correctly and catch anything I might have missed.... It ended up being the other way around! And expensive for me to correct his and his paralegal's mistakes!! Unfortunately, much of your contact is with the paralegal too... I worked with Anthony Zorich and his Mallory was HORRIBLE! There were incorreclty typed figures and data each time I reviewed documents. As for Tony, he was nice, but there were stipulations that I had in my head that I wanted in a parenting plan; I was thinking he'd have others to add too, but once drafted, I had to ask for things to be included that I thought should simply be there based on my type of case. I feel awful for less educated clients who might have signed off on the first papers they were given- I don't like thinking about how they might have missed some stuff and gotten screwed! Horrible experience. However, to be fair, I'll add that Tony patiently answered my numerous questions until I was satisfied with the answers and did have a few key phrases to put in the plan that I probably wouldn't have had on my own. I'm glad it's over and I'm done giving them money!

Jamie R Walker is a competitive, strategic litigator who understands that a person going through a divorce needs a dedicated advocate on their side. She successfully negotiated a settlements and has extensive experience family law. "Behind Jamie’s friendly, outgoing demeanor is an attorney who hates to lose," Going through a divorce for my first and hopefully only time in my life after a 30 year marriage was not a fun experience. Jamie was an anchor who always made me feel like we were doing the right thing. We did not have to go to trial we ended the divorce through a mediator. Once again Jamie’s experience came through. She refused the first choice that opposing counsel wanted because she know that it would not be in our favor to use them. Mediation went extremely well. We were very prepared and won on all of our points by having the documentation to show them. I could not have asked for a better result I’m extremely happy with my choice and would recommend her to anyone who is going through an unfortunate divorce. Thanks again Jamie you are a ray of sunshine on a stormy day. Michael H Whitney

Credibility, Trust, Experience, and Dedication to my story, my case, my life, were the key characteristics I was looking for when choosing a Firm to represent my best interests. I made 6 calls to other Firms/Attorneys to represent me in my divorce/child custody case and it was clear I was choosing McKinley Irvin after having a 15 minute conversation with Attorney Jamie Walker. Jamie walked me through the expectations, cost, timeline, and the level of effort it would take to accomplish a desirable outcome. She was attentive. In addition, her paralegal Kendra Lytle was always quick to respond to my communications and needs. Together, I don't think there is a better team I could have chosen. I had a wonderful experience with McKinley Irvin. They were professional, timely, would redirect efforts when a sense of urgency was warranted, and made me feel comfortable and at ease during one of the most stressful times in my life. I couldn't have made a better choice. I would highly recommend calling McKinley Irvin, specifically Jamie Walker and Kendra Lytle if you are faced with divorce and a child custody situation. We were able to settle out of court and save a tremendous amount of money due to the savvy and expertise of this firm. Thank you again. Rob K. Tacoma, WA

Jocelyn was quick to return my phone call. I knew I was in a bad situation and I needed a top notch attorney to make sure that I wasn't taken advantage of by a military system than can be less than objective. I contacted her early, and I believe that was the reason my case had such a favorable outcome. Get her on your side early so that she can begin advocating for you. She made phone calls and obtained information I wouldn't have been able to by myself. She has connections, let her use those in your favor. As for the outcome, we were so ahead of the system that the military didn't even get the chance to charge me with any wrong doing. No Charges, No Action Taken!

I retained Tony Zorich of McKinley Irvin as my attorney during a time of great turmoil in my daughters' life. Events were moving at an extremely fast pace and I didn't have the luxury to take a lot of time researching every lawyer in the area, but I was suitably impressed, not just by his professionalism and confidence, but also he seemed very knowledgeable and experienced in situations such as mine. I felt comfortable retaining him on the spot, and never regretted the decision. I was especially grateful that he listened to my concerns when he had me review filings and explained the concepts behind the those filings. Sometimes I still wanted some things changed, but others, I realized he was right and went with his approach. He guided me through the entire process, kept me well informed and positive as events continued to unfold and the final outcome was far superior to even my most ambitious hopes. I highly recommend him and am grateful every day... that my ex didn't get to him first!

Jocelyn proved to be a passionate and highly effective attorney and has the skill and dedication to be respected by everyone in the courtroom. Her attention to managing the overall picture along with her keen attention to the smallest detail is a trait that is hard to find. Undoubtedly this is why she is so good at her craft. I recommend Jocelyn without reservation, she will quickly earn your trust and fight for justice in your name. She is the one who you want on your team.

Lindsay Camandona is compassionate, knowledgeable, and a zealous advocate. Her expertise in family law coupled with her stature in the local bar makes for a highly sought after and effective attorney. I continuously refer clients to her and do so with complete confidence that they will be well taken care of and are in the hands of the best.

There are not enough words to describe how amazing Mark Arend is. My case was complex, challenging, very difficult at times, and very emotional for me. Mark knew what to do in every instance, gave me invaluable advice, and was incredibly kind and compassionate. When we had to go to court he presented my case exceptionally well and he is a great negotiator. He was my advocate and made me feel reassured as I knew I was in excellent hands. He even went above and beyond when I had a death in the family during this process, and had the whole law firm sign a sympathy card for me. I couldn't have made a better choice when I chose Mark as my attorney.
