Devin C. Mcllvain

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.

Without Devin's sage advice and guidance in my divorce proceedings, I do now know what the outcome would have been. Not only did his wisdom guide me during this process, he and his team worked diligently to ensure my representation was top notch during every phase to get the most favorable outcome. ... I couldn't be more pleased or appreciative of having him as my attorney during this very difficult time. He has a personal touch along with his professionalism that lets you know how much he really cares about you as a client. I don't think anyone walks away from a divorce feeling good and I wouldn't wish this process on anyone, but Devin definitely made me feel like there was someone in my corner who represented me with dignity, put the work in that other attorneys don't, and actually cared along the way. You might regret getting a divorce, but you won't regret having Devin as your representation.

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.
