Professional and Knowledgeable Counsel

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.

Adoption

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

Very Satisfied and Thankful

I am thankful for the amazing work that went into my case. Everyone was very professional, caring and most of all, understanding. Mr. Mcllvain made sure I was up-to-date with messages, notices, made sure to be available if I had questions or didn't understand some of the legal processes, etc. through...out the case. I definitely would recommend Mr. Mcllvain and this firm. I am greatful for their services.

Resolved my divorce case as quickly as possible

Devin McIlvain was the second attorney assigned to my "simple" divorce case. My previous lawyer decided on a career change in the middle of my case. While she would have completed my case, I wasn't impressed with her progress against my ex's counsel. That horrid woman was disorganized to the point th...at she embarrassed me with her ability to lose documents and delay proceedings. Then again, that's what my ex wanted her to do. I chose to stay with the firm the previous lawyer left, which turned out to be the best choice for my case. Devin took over, and I noticed the difference immediately. The first lawyer had drafted a motion and never filed it. Devin did, and my ex's counsel came out of hiding and back to the negotiations. I felt supported, and Devin answered all of my questions. I was pleasantly surprised that he granted my request for a face-to-face meeting with him during the pandemic. I wasn't sure if I could trust him after my experience with the first lawyer. I had spent several hours researching numbers for a settlement offer that I felt was fairer than what he originally proposed to give to my ex's counsel. I sent this to him to review before our meeting and received good feedback from him on my work. While I did not get everything I wanted out of the divorce, my divorce went through despite multiple attempts to delay proceedings. I am grateful for Mr. McIlvain's assistance in this matter. I would hire him again.

Compassionate & Thoughtful

Devin helped me get through an incredibly difficult divorce with patience, compassion, and thoughtfulness. Not only was Devin a zealous advocate at my contested hearing, but he also listened closely and provided quick feedback on any issue I encountered in my case. I cannot recommend Devin enough.
