Devin C. Mcllvain

We hired Devin to help with a very contentious child custody case. He is kind and compassionate and always listens to your thoughts and concerns and is very good at explaining the whole process. He always responded promptly and is always prepared. Devin is a very strong advocate that actually care...s. He was very effective in court and that lead to a very good ruling. I would highly recommend him.

In the beginning, I had a different firm represent me in a child custody/support case with my ex-husband. I spent over seven thousand dollars, and all my previous law firm did was file a motion to change venue and a motion to modify child support. I was terrified and didn't know what to do or how I c...ould continue to pay for their services. Thankfully, Stephine Kosik informed me that Devin and Leah were trustworthy, empathic, professional, and extremely skilled and experienced in cases like this. I was very hesitant about obtaining new counsel, but Stephine reassured me that it would be okay and I was in good hands. I spoke to Devin the following day, and he was amazing. He was kind and told me the entire process would go smoothly and be fair for both parties involved. After our conversation, I hired Devin and his paralegal, Leah. Devin spoke to everyone involved with respect and equality, which was something my previous attorney did not do. With the help of Devin and Leah, I was able to obtain full custody of my daughter and receive child support. As a single mother, Devin and his team took care of my daughter and me. The service and quality was truly exceptional. I am so thankful for Devin and Leah. THANK YOU. 

Devin exceeded all expectations. I was in a high stress situation and he was always very responsive and reassuring. He was extremely thorough and took the time to understand. I would not be where I am at without his counsel. I had a very ideal outcome in my case and I would recommend Devin to anyone... dealing with child custody issues.

It is really hard for me to find words that describe my experience with Devin and his staff. First off, I have been working diligently on my personal case for more than 7 years and I was becoming increasingly frustrated and discouraged about all my efforts in protecting my son. And obviously the amou...nt of time and money spent seemed unrealistic at a point. I never gave up and God lead us to Devin. From our first conversation with him, his energy was genuine, respectful, committed, confident and sincere. I was becoming discouraged and Devin along with his staff stood by me throughout not only my ups and downs but put the time and energy to support those flying emotions. It was an honour working with this team and I feel indebted. They were with us until the end and got us to the finish line! Through such a complicated situation, they made it happen! When I think of all my trials through this, I can’t help but shed tears from the passion that Devin and his staff had to endure everything that came with my case. He is not only an incredible artist in his work but also sees things until the end. I have much respect for him and his staff!!! And I can’t thank them enough for all that they have done. Devin is truly and honestly a leader that I hope people recognize how hard he works for your particular situation. Thank you so much Devin and staff for changing our lives!

When going through a rough time regarding custody & parenting time with my one year old son, I felt helpless and needed professional legal guidance and that’s when I found Smith & Schellenberger. Attorney Devin Mcllvain was my attorney representing my case, through months and months of back and forth..., we were able to get things set in stone and get my parenting time with my son that I deserved. I’d recommend this law firm.
