After having a nightmare experience and high attorney costs with a prior attorney and not really getting anywhere in 7 months I met Matthew who was able to step in and take control of my case. He has great legal and practice skills, good work ethics, professional representation and high ethical and professional standards. He does genuinely want to help people who become his clients. When you are going through the worst time in your life Matthew was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. His staff is also very friendly. Matthew was very easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable. Mine was a very complicated and difficult divorce with the opposing side as difficult as can be and we have 2 small children involved and businesses. Matthew gave me all sorts of scenarios before we made any moves. Despite it being a difficult case I got favorable results thanks to Matthew and the competent associates who work for Matthew and at the end of the day was happy with what was a very painful and difficult experience all in all. I would recommend Matthew Kuehnl and his associates to my family and friends (hopefully they won't need him though).

I hired Deanna Rusch to represent me for my divorce case. She made the process easy and took the stress out of the process. If you want someone who will advocate for you and make things happen, you need to hire her! She returned calls promptly, kept me updated on my case so I knew exactly what was going on, and was extremely accessible if had any questions along the way. Deanna works hard and you really are getting the best of the best when you have her on your side!

Deanna Rusch is THE attorney you'll want representing you. She handled my family law case and did an outstanding job. She was always available when I needed her. Very sympathetic and caring and not just there for a paycheck.

Consider your options very wisely before coming to Mckinley irvin. This group of con artists will take your money, Misrepresent you and leave you in such a worse place than you started its gut wrenching. Do not. I repeat: do not give any information or money to mckinley irvin or anyone at that firm. Matt kuehnl was the worst attorney i have truly ever seen.

I had the best experience with Deanna Rusch! She is an amazing well educated lawyer in Vancouver. She is always there and responds right away to any situation that came up. Her assistants are amazing! Thank you Dominique! I will continue to support this firm if needed and will always give praise to Deanna in the community and I am so thankful she was there for my emotional and trying divorce situation.

Teresa Foster is an extremely efficient, and helpful divorce attorney. I had an attorney prior to retaining Teresa and it was a very negative experience. After retaining Teresa I saw immediate positive results. This was not only a divorce case it was child custody also. Teresa has amazing ways of taking chaotic and confusing situations and simplifying them. She then makes priority of what needs to happen first. Then her vast knowledge of law starts to shine. Not only does she prepare to understand your case, she also understands the opposing attorney. She goes into court expecting and predicting anything that can happen. This has a very positive result on the goals you set in the initial consultation. Teresa takes minimal time to decipher what needs to happen. I'm very grateful for all she has done for me and my family. My only regret is not retaining her in the beginning.

If you are wondering whether or not you should consult with and hire Teresa Foster at McKinley Irvin, stop wasting your time and make an appointment now. You will have zero doubts about your decision within ten minutes of discussing your case with Teresa. She has a razor sharp mind. Teresa will quickly identify and methodically plot out the most efficient and effective strategy to achieve your desired results. She will be direct and very honest, and you will listen to and follow her advice if you know what is good for you and your family. She will not shy away from a challenge. Teresa will give you the confidence and support you need to navigate calmly and deliberately toward your goals. With Teresa at the helm, opposing counsel will not be deciding the direction of your case. Teresa is in charge. Her professionalism and integrity combined with her exceptional knowledge of the law and second to no one litigator skills place her naturally in the driver seat. Her talents and integrity demand and receive the respect from opposing counsel and the court. Teresa was very honest with me during my initial consultation with her. My case was not simple and I was certainly playing catch up. She explained that we had a mountain to climb to achieve my desired result, but she believed in me. Maybe more importantly, she instilled the confidence in me that she was uniquely experienced and capable of guiding me up the mountain. Today, I am standing atop that mountain and I don’t believe I would be without Teresa’s dedicated and passionate guidance. Don’t waste another minute. Your future depends on it. Hire the best.

True Partners thru the most difficult time. Deanna is the best.

I honestly could not be any happier with Christine. She is by far the best representation I have ever had the displeasure of needing. She quickly familiarized herself with my case and became my fierce advocate. She provided me with solid counsel that helped to put my own thoughts into proper context, which sometimes meant showing me where I was misinformed. With that, she helped me to quickly course correct and aim in not just the right direction, but in the best direction. She knows the law and easily navigated the nuances to provide me with the best options available. This provided me much needed leverage where I initially found none. And of course, I was kept abreast of all responses from the other party the moment her office received them. I cannot imagine having used another attorney and receiving the same superb level of service that she afforded me. I know I am singing her high praise, but high praise is due. This includes the entire staff!! They were all so professional and kind. ((Thank you, Sarah and Chriss!)) No one can approach legal counsel with the mindset that they should get everything they think they are entitled to or justified to get. I certainly wanted more than I ended up with, but I ended up getting more than I thought was possible. I know it doesn't make sense now, but it will. I also went into this process knowing I needed to give and take. I needed to negotiate our position so that our child would have the best outcome with both parents. Excellent negotiation like the kind that Christine provides creates options where there weren't any before. Christine will deliver, but you need to work just as much to keep your options open. I guarantee if you do that, you will be singing her praises too. I can't tell you how great it felt to have someone in my corner who matched my determination to fix what was broken and to shoulder the burden of the process for me. You'd be crazy if you didn't give her a call. Do it now! What are you waiting for?!

I wanted an attorney that would stand up for me when I felt overwhelmed and when I couldn't think things through clearly for myself....The attorney who can do that is Teresa Foster. The moment I met Ms. Foster, I knew I needed her on my team. She is honest, straight to the point, and does not put up with wishy-washiness. She listened to me about what I wanted, what my need was, and then gave me the facts. I needed her honesty, I admired her bluntness and at the end of the day I knew my attorney genuinely cared for my well-being from start to finish. When I needed her advise or I was worried about something, I could send her an email and she would send a response back as soon as she had a moment, which was always within minutes to a few hours. Ms. Foster's legal knowledge provided safety for my heart and mind and she would always sign her email off by saying, "this is normal and don't stress." Teresa Foster is the Attorney who is on your side, will fight for you and will get it done!

My wife and I both worked with Deanna during our custody cases. Deanna fought for me so that my son went from zero parenting time with me to a final parenting plan with a lot of shared time. I never had to worry with her by my side. Her and her team took care of everything and made me feel safe during a stressful time. She always gave me a realistic and honest idea of what to expect. My wife and I would both recommend her to anyone. She is well worth the money.

Deanna Rusch, Mickinley Irvin My divorce from a narcissistic spouse with a sense of entitlement was a difficult and stressful time for me. Deanna Rusch is an exceptional, tough and thourough attorney who understands the emotional side of divorce and made me feel as if I were here only client. Deanna and her staff ( special thanks to Domonique Vazquez and Casey Sanders) were there for me. They kept me informed and responded promptly to my questions and concerns by phone or email. The billing was fair and I was kept up to date on costs. Deanna negotiated a fair and honest settlement for me. Hire Deanna before your soon to be ex spouse does! She will fight for your financial future and protect your children. She is an incredible attorney with a brilliant mind and great sense of humor. I honestly feel she is the best there is!
