1/3 of practice is as litigating attorney, 1/3 of practice as mediation attorney and 1/3 of practice as consulting attorney, providing clients with strategic divorce planning. I usually work with high functioning individuals with high standards and fairly complex cases.

Excellent Choice for Attorney; Recommendation of the Highest Level

I met Iris Mckay at a Divorce workshop, and after her very positive presentation which focused on looking forward in our lives to our future, I determined to engage her services. She has extensive knowledge of the California Family laws and has represented me with integrity, composure and skill. Sh...e is patient, explaining everything that is going on and talks on my level without ever causing me to feel she is talking down to me. I have great faith and trust that she has my interests at heart, and knowing she is on my side gives me a sense of peace about the outcome of my divorce. I have been extremely pleased with everything that she and her accomplished and able staff have done for me. I unconditionally recommend her to any person, woman or man, who is considering the painful decision to end their marriage. Iris McKay is an attorney who genuinely represents her clients. She is an excellent choice for a Family Law Attorney.

"I don't have the honor of knowing Ms. Mckay well, but I suggest you investigate her credentials - as I have. She is an experienced family law attorney who answers to higher values from a thoroughly client centered perspective. Frankly, legal consumers need more family law attorneys like her, and the San Diego community is no doubt richer for her contributions."
