Iris Mann Mckay

I was referred to Iris McKay because of her extensive experience with the complexities surrounding out-of-state post-divorce relocation with minors. Although she is not currently litigating, I was told that she would be a wealth of information and could help give me some direction. We ended up chat...ting for a solid hour not only about the law surrounding my case, but about life, motherhood, moving on after divorce, our children, our similarities, strengths, etc. etc. I felt so empowered after speaking to her - like I was speaking to an extremely intelligent coach! Had I been in the state of California when I was going through my divorce, I am 100% certain that I would have hired Ms. McKay on the spot. She is articulate, knowledgeable, kind natured, yet an absolute force to be reckoned with! Thank you again, Ms. McKay!

Iris McKay not only represented myself but also my mother almost 20 years ago. She is just as passionate, devoted and professional with my case as she was with my Mother's case. She has always kept me informed almost immediately with what ever was brought, filed, emailed etc. to her in regards to my ...case. I would have been completely lost without her and her amazing knowledge and experience of the law and even how to keep me calm when I thought I was going to lose my mind. My only regret is that I did not hire her on in the very beginning of my divorce and custody battle. However, as soon as she took my case a HUGE sigh of relief and stress just melted away. Iris McKay will forever be my family's attorney and I would recommend her to anyone in need of a kick butt lawyer! Thank you for everything that you do Iris!!

I contacted Iris McKay two weeks before my Mandatory Settlement Conference. I was nervous about switching lawyers toward the end of my case, but my previous lawyer was not returning calls and was making decisions on my case without my permission. Because my income was three times more than my ex's,... I was told by my first lawyer that I would have to pay him support and also would have to pay his lawyer fees. A good friend recommended Iris saying she was very good at working out settlements. I met with her and was impressed by her warm, genuine caring nature, which my male lawyer did not have at all. She was also very focused on making sure I understood how the settlement judge would look at each issue in my case. At that time I was still very angry with my husband and Iris helped me see how my anger was getting in the way of making good decisions, and the importance of seeing the 'big picture.' At the settlement conference in court, she was very good in working with our settlement attorney. I didn't end up paying any support or attorney's fees because of the way we worked the division of our property, which was almost 50/50 anyway. All in all, the settlement was so much better than I thought it would be. More important to me, is that Iris treated me with respect and compassion and helped me get through a very difficult time in my life. I can't imagine what would have happened if I would not have switched lawyers. I strongly recommend her to any woman who is tired of getting the run around and feeling mistreated by a male lawyer.
