Jamie and Kendra really helped me in what turned out to be a difficult divorce situation. Opposing counsel in my divorce was far less than professional being almost impossible for Jamie or Kendra to contact. I was so relieved that Jamie knew how to deal with these types of obstacles and even with the delays created by the opposing counsel was able to push my case through to completion. 5 stars!

Jamie Walker is an outstanding attorney who is extremely knowledgeable about the law, especially regarding military considerations. She continually provided invaluable legal counsel, kept me informed of the next steps in my case, and was essential during the mediation proceedings. Her initiative, guidance, and support led to a positive settlement that addressed all my goals and concerns. While my case never went to court, I would have been comfortable with her litigating on my behalf. McKinley Irvin is an excellent family law firm and I highly recommend Jamie and them to anyone who needs this type of representation.

McKinley Irvin changed my life. I had an incredibly tumultuous and nasty custody case which my extremely well respected Olympia attorney allowed to become a circus in the courtroom, and drag off and on for nearly 10 years! My ex-wife unfortunately had the nastiest female family law attorney in Olympia who tried incessantly, to ensure I would never have contact with my son again. I was desperate to end the emotional and financial strain, and most importantly the impact it was having on my son as he was growing up. I researched and contacted law firms and ended up switching to McKinley Irvin, in particular Jamie Walker and her highly competent team. This included Kendra Lytle, Jamie's assistant who was an excellent facilitator and beyond expeditious during our process. In short, it was the best legal decision I have ever made in my life. As soon as Jamie Walker took hold of the reigns, the tide turned...and quickly. Jamie was able to systematically de-bunk the 'circus' I had been dealing with and at the end of our court hearing, my ex-wife received 3 counts of contempt and was basically told in so many words by the judge, not to come back. My wife and myself were in disbelief! In my opinion, Jamie Walker is unsurpassed in the courtroom and my case is proof. The litigation ended over 4 years ago and I have been able to put this behind me and move on. My son has also benefited tremendously in my opinion. If you have a difficult custody case and need change, call McKinley Irvin today..it may be the best legal decision of your LIFE!

I hired Jamie Walker to represent me in a child custody case. She was extremely helpful, kind and courteous. She did an excellent job. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Jamie Walker is very intelligent, confident, kind and articulate. What impressed me most was her professionalism and the degree of familiarity she had with my case at every turn -- at times I felt like she knew it better than I did! I was treated with the utmost dignity and respect. Jamie's relentless advocacy and thoroughness made me feel as if I were her only client.

Divorce is just plain hard. I’m sure I’m not alone in acknowledging that I had never imagined getting divorced and was utterly and completely clueless as to the process. Jamie Walker and her paralegal, Kendra Lytle, were very knowledgeable and patient in walking me through every step, even when I required repeated explanations due to my overwhelm. I did not know how to best address all of the various complexities along the way, but I came to trust Jamie’s knowledge and experience to guide me through each step. Divorce is remarkably difficult, but I found Jamie’s professionalism, expertise, and advocacy to be an invaluable resource throughout the process. I would definitely recommend her.

Jamie ensured I understood my options and provided realistic expectations of outcomes. She always had my best interest in mind and fought for fairness. Thank you Jamie!

I am so thankful I had Jamie in my corner. With only a day to appear in court to defend myself against some serious false accusations made by my spouse, I needed help quick. With the custody of my kids at stake, I was scrambling to find the best representation possible. Jamie was able to jump right in and appear in court with me just hours after walking into her office. She shut the hole thing down, and the Judge ordered 50/50 custody as a temporary order. The rest was resolved out of court, with a very favorable outcome. I now have 50/50 custody of my kids. Thank you Jamie!
