Expert in Navigating Complex Issues

I highly recommend Judy McKinnon for anyone navigating a divorce. After almost a year of frustrating and ultimately unsuccessful mediation, I was emotionally drained and worried about my future. That's when I hired Attorney McKinnon to represent me, and it completely changed the trajectory of my cas...e. Judy was resourceful and professional throughout the entire process, patiently explaining complex legal jargon in terms I could easily understand. Going through a divorce is an incredibly stressful experience, but involving the complexities of federal government benefits (FERS, TSP, etc.) adds an entirely different layer of difficulty. Judy recognized this immediately and made sure that my interests were fully protected and that all entitlements were handled correctly, avoiding costly mistakes and future headaches. Judy was incredibly responsive, I always received timely updates, and my many questions were answered quickly and thoroughly. This level of responsiveness and attention to detail made a significant difference in reducing my stress. Judy managed my case efficiently, focusing on a positive resolution without dragging things out. From day one she was transparent about the costs and stuck to fair pricing, with no surprise or excessive bills. Judy was warm, compassionate, hard-working and always had my best interests at heart. Most importantly, Judy was always honest and set clear, realistic expectations about potential outcomes, which allowed me to make informed decisions. I felt genuinely supported and well-prepared every step of the way, leading to a fair settlement that secured my financial future. If you need a skilled, strategic and trustworthy divorce attorney who genuinely cares about your well-being, I wholeheartedly recommend Judy McKinnon.

The best!

Working with Judy McKinnon was an absolute pleasure. She worked with me to resolve an issue of alimony modification that has been cropping up periodically for years. Throughout the process, Judy was wise in her advice, skillful in her dealings with my ex and his attorney, and supportive of me. She... went above and beyond to understand the history of my relationship and divorce and what would make sense going forward. Her professionalism, expertise, and experience are exceptional, but what sets her apart is her warmth and her ability to understand and communicate. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Amazing Service/ Family/child custody

Judy was amazing. She approached my situation with attentiveness and care. Any questions I had she answered in a timely manner and was always prepared. Judy was assigned to represent me for a personal matter but she was very professional and treated my situation seriously. I appreciate all the work s...he put into my case and I believe she was instrumental to having a positive outcome.

Professional, Intelligent, and Articulate

Judy represented me in a child support modification case that I had struggled to navigate for years. She adeptly simplified a complex situation, presenting it in a clear and comprehensible manner, ensuring that everyone involved understood the key points. Her professionalism and dedication transforme...d a daunting process into a smooth and reassuring experience. It was a genuine pleasure to have her as my advocate.

5 Stars - Amazing Attorney / Mediator

My ex-wife and I knew we wanted a divorce and knew the terms we wanted to follow as co-parents. Judy was able to get us through in a professional and bi-partisan manner. Our process with Judy was 2.5 months plus I am moved out, and my ex-wife and I are pleased where we stand now. I hope to never need... Judy's services again but if I did it would be with her and I would recommend her 100%.
