Devin C. Mcllvain

I can’t thank Devin and his team enough. Hiring Devin as my Lawyer in our Kinship Adoption was the best decision I’ve made from beginning to end. The process of adoption can be filled with different emotions As my lawyer Devin is very empathetic person and always gave me encouragement through this ...journey. Devin is officially part of my little family .

Devin and his staff were so much more helpful in facilitating my adoption of Forest than I had dared hoped for. I had contacted and retained two other attorney's for this adoption and both of them returned my retainer after determine that the case was to complex for them to take it on. Devin and his ...staff took this case and made it seem pretty easy. They also made it easy for me to understand the process from start to finish. They also kept me advised of everything that I needed to do on my end and told me how to do them. I could not be more happy with the service provided by your law firm and the individuals that assisted me with getting Forest legally adopted. Thank You So Much, Charley J. McCauley

Devin handled the entire process of my divorce and custody case with great care. From the initial consultation to the final hearing, he always remained compassionate, thoughtful, and an amazing advocate for my son and I. Devin was able to draft up a very strict parenting plan, that was approved by my... ex and the courts. It helped ease some of my fears when it came to parenting time with someone who struggles with addiction and putting the ball in my exes' court for follow-through. Devin is a great listener and even better at giving sound, level-headed legal advice. He was always extremely easy to get in contact with and always answered all of my questions. He also made the process as quick as he could, which was a blessing. Devin is who you want in your corner for your divorce. He will handle your case and emotions with care.

As my family law attorney, hired to help me defend myself from a co-parent who did not wish to co-parent equitably and civilly, Devin McIlvain counseled me for nearly a year, never losing the compassion, clear-sightedness, and perseverance with which he started our case. Even when opposing counsel re...sorted to micro-aggressions, baseless insults, and even outright false narratives--all while neglecting or seeming not to care about the fact that a healthy and unified relationship with my son was at stake--Mr. Mcllvain never lost sight of what was most important for me and my family, and he conducted himself ethically and steadfastly, modeling for me the high road I should take, even when that path seemed too difficult to traverse at times. He and his team--guided by the firm's renowned and formidable partner, Lisa Shellenberger and diligently aided by his paralegals Isabel Gourley and Jheadeaux Johnson--handled my case and its important documents in a timely, coherent, and honorable manner: my team, led by Mr. Mcllvain, validated my perspectives and evidence by letting both the facts and the rule of law speak for themselves, proving that a judicial objective and moral foundation can co-exist. Mr. Mcllvain's consistent and reliable efforts, from his information gathering, expert application of legal precedence, cross-examining of the opposing party and witnesses, thorough and fair construction of a parenting plan, sage advice on how I should communicate, good faith dialogue at mediation, and--when my co-parent was unwilling reach a sensible agreement at mediation--a compelling and truth-bearing closing written argument, resulted in the judge at the permanent orders hearing favoring our case overall: I was granted joint decision-making, equal parenting, holiday, and birthday time with my son, healthy and necessary boundaries against a domineering co-parent, and a fair allocation of resources, which is all I was ever asking for. In sum, I know that justice is not always served, even for or especially for good-hearted people with genuinely worthy cases on their side. But should you find yourself in a similar situation as mine, in an emotional and legal ordeal from which there seems to be no viable way out, please consider attorney Mcllvain to help you find a clearing. Enthusiastically and without reservations, I highly recommend Mr. Mcllvain for your representation. If you are reading this, and you are about to enter a high conflict family or custody dispute, then my heart goes out to you. Not all who are asunder are lost.
