McKinley Irvin - Seattle (WA)

5 /5 Jason Belvill: I had an incredibly high conflict divorce that unfortunately went to a full trial. I thought the team at McKinley Irvin was incredibly professional, compassionate, and truly cared about me and fought for the right things. They have an exceptional reputation for a reason, and I would highly recommend them.

5 /5 Stephen Yeung: I am very grateful for Sarah Hovland’s counsel and support during a difficult time in my life. From our first consultation, she demonstrated not only deep legal expertise, but also compassion and understanding. Sarah guided me through every step of the divorce process, ensuring I was informed and confident in my decisions. She was always responsive, answering my questions promptly and providing thoughtful advice tailored to my situation. Her negotiation skills ultimately helped me achieve a fair outcome. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate family law attorney as I can’t imagine getting through the difficult and stressful process without her. Thank you Sarah.

5 /5 Melissa Wilcox: Sarah Hovland at McKinley Irvin was exactly the attorney I needed during a high-conflict divorce. She was empathetic, professional, and incredibly strategic. Sarah helped me regain my independence and navigate a difficult situation involving dishonesty and manipulation with steady, smart legal guidance. I always felt heard, protected, and empowered. I’m grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone going through a challenging divorce.

5 /5 Devin Bowman: Despite unfortunate circumstances, I had the pleasure of working with Brent Bohan and his team (Lindsey Matter) through the process of getting a divorce. Going through a divorce is never easy for anyone, but Brent and Lindsey were extremely helpful, attentive and patient during this process. In addition, Brent and his team are very experienced and his guidance through the process was very helpful. I always felt confident that the steps and decisions made were correct.

5 /5 Julia Charter: I could not have asked for a better legal team. When dealing with divorce, you never know what to expect from your ex. Dreams of calm negotiation sadly often spiral into nightmares of insane demands and accusations. No-one expects divorce, and usually you dont know where to start to find a lawyer to trust when your world is falling apart around you. When your priority is to protect yourself, and your kids, you want the best team you can find - a team that will help you achieve calmer negotiation if at all possible, but can also win handily in a high conflict situation if needed. Jennifer Payseno and Erin Blower are both deeply knowledgeable and incredibly well connected. They advised me reliably on every issue I needed, and helped me to achieve an outcome that exceeded my expectations. My case was complex, with special needs children, DV, income disparities, etc and they were able to help me through all of it. They have helped to change the course of my familys lives and I could not be more grateful.
