Attorney Teresa L. Foster and her team handled my divorce mediation (my second one) beautifully and professionally. The outcome was fair for both parties. I would highly recommend her. My ex had a tough attorney, but in the end, Teresa worked hard on every detail to make sure that my interests were understood and the outcome was reasonable for both sides. She has integrity and she was fun to work with, even with such a stressful situation. I also felt that it was a strong collaboration between the two of us.

Very knowledgeable, attentive, and kind through an incredibly difficult time. Helped us stay out of court which ultimately saves money and trauma. Thank you Teresa and Chriss!

Teresa Foster and her team were amazing partners. My case was a relatively complex one, it was multi state with covid happening half way through the case. Teresa and the team were always available to talk to, provided guidance where needed. They advocated for me superbly, while also not shying away from giving me hard truths and reality checks. If I ever go through a divorce again (which I hope never happens...). Teresa is, unequivocally, the first person I am going to call.

Professional and personable. A great team to have on your side!

My experience with a McKinley Irvin was amazing. I had the pleasure of working with Teresa Foster and Chriss Elliott. In a not so great situation I was going through. They made it a easy, fast, and clear experience.and I am very grateful for them and everyone working there with them!

McKinley Irvin and there team are a wonderful. They were always available whenever I had questions, and guided me through the divorce process with patience and kindness! I highly recommend them for any of your law needs!

Retained for contentious and lengthy divorce proceeding. Worked with two attorneys, both of which treated me with respect, listened carefully to my concerns, provided realistic feedback, and then correctly executed my direction. Paralegal staff top-notch, especially Ms. CJE who always promptly handled the details with expertise, candor, and kindness. If the need arose, I would definitely retain again. Recommended.

I felt that Rory Flay of McKinley Irvin was out to hurt me as much as my now ex-husband was. He attempted to get me to agree to submitted child support worksheets that contained elementary math errors, such as increasing my income with the child support amount in the spousal support column. There was an instance where his appraiser did not show when scheduled (at the last minute) and Mr. Flay attempted to falsely twist words so that in an email to my counsel it appeared that I was the one who was not available. Mr. Flay even attempted to readjust the temporary child support amount for final settlement reflecting my ex’s “new job” at minimum wage, rather than his normal $90,000 per year job that he’s been working at for over 22 years. It usually took many attempts to get Mr. Flay to respond to my counsel's enquiries, ultimately dragging a somewhat simple divorce out over a year and increasing the cost. I felt that my son and I were in danger with this guy on the opposite side of the table.

Friendly and helpful for my case Wouldn't wish devorve on anyone. Rory Flay was a good fit for my style..

Lisa Ward and her team came to my rescue during an exceptionally ugly divorce. She was recommended from both a family member and via her stellar on-line reviews. After a terrible and traumatic experience with another attorney I had to fire, she gladly took over my case, tidied it up, and made it her mission to not only repair the damage already done, but to do all she could do to help me. At the time I met her, I wasn't eating, shaking with anxiety, and having the worst stress of my life. I had no energy to stick up for myself and fight for my rights. However, an immense weight was lifted off my shoulders once I realized that her and her team were were certainly going to walk me through every step, take a personal interest in my case, and help reassure me through the whole process. They kept me completely informed of my current status regarding my case, my financial standing, and what I could expect in the future. Her expertise and care helped me think clearly, substantially decreased my anxiety, and ultimately gave me my life back. Whereas the previous lawyer kept me in the dark, ran erroneous charges, took on my case like he was going to battle so he could get more money from me, Lisa did the opposite. She took a collaborative approach to keep costs and the length of the divorce process down. I still get asked by people how in the world did I get through such a dramatic divorce so quickly and I reply "with the best divorce attorney one could possibly acquire." I highly recommend Lisa as the most effective divorce attorney around. If it weren't for her being my lawyer, my outcome would've been a tragedy, but instead it was a complete win both mentally and financially.
