Jwon Nathaniel, Family Attorney on May 31, 2018
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer. It was refreshing to work with Mr. Irvin on a recent divorce case. Often times counsel opposite on family law cases can be difficult to deal with. But, that was not the case with Mr. Irvin. He was courteous and professional throughout the case. His knowledge of family law and his willingness to not only advocate for his client, but provide his client with sound legal counsel on what was in the best interests of the divorcing parties' minor child, made the divorce case proceed much smoother. I very much look forward to working with Mr. Irvin in the future.
