Collin C McKean

I am new to Oregon with a complicated WA/OR custody case. I found Collin to be very professional, astute and thorough. I have had a few legals needs and Collin made it is easy to understand and insure that we did what was best for my son and our family. I have a feeling that my past history will require more legal work and I am comforted knowing that Collin is in my corner.

My divorce case was complex, involving multiple real properties, many accounts, heavily-commingled inherited funds, wasteful spending, pensions, and disagreements over employability and retirement status. Collin McKean grasped all of it and crafted a detailed, nuanced narrative for trial that undermined the opposing party’s numerous aggressive ploys and led to a very equitable outcome. In lessor hands, I could have ended up under the bus. Collin’s presentation of my case clearly illuminated the court’s understanding, which ultimately spared me from an impoverished future. As we worked our way through the terribly taxing divorce process, I found Collin to be knowledgeable, professional and disciplined, and a really good person. I recommend him.

Mr. McKean is highly intelligent, thorough, patient, experienced, strategic - the absolute best attorney! I consulted with him over a messy probate, where the opposing attorney was intentionally causing distractions, and he was able to pinpoint the real issue at hand. I would recommend him to all of my friends and family.

I hired Mr. McKean to handle my divorce case in 02/2107. My case was really complicated since I didn't know how everything works and I have seen a lot of lawyers, but none was able to help like Mr. McKean. Mr. McKean is kind and understanding person. He took the time to listen to me and helped me as much as he could. At the time of my appointment, Mr. McKean took the time to explain everything in details and told me what options I have. He even spoke with the opposing attorney before hiring him at the time of the consultation. He took the time to answer my questions and my emails right away. Mr. McKean is an excellent, professional, and expert lawyer to hire for divorce cases. Overall, he's a great and reliable lawyer and he has a great staff as well. I totally recommend him if you want peace of mind and everything resolved for you.

At the lowest point ever in my life. I was going to go through a divorce. I did a lot of research on line and I reached out to Law firm McKinley Irvin. This turned out to be the best decision for me ever. I set up an appointment and was able to meet the next day with Collin McKean. I was in extreme emotional pain Collin McKean listened to me as I poured out my agony to him. I was unable to focus on anything except the pain and explaining what had happened in my marriage. It was comparable to having a red hot branding iron pressed on the bottom of my foot and explaining how bad it hurt. That was how I was at this first meeting and some other phone meetings as well. Somehow Collin would find a way to get the information he needed out of our conversations getting me to focus on the important issues as he calmly took hand written notes. Taking down key points and comments out of raw emotional jargon. After the initial meeting for the first time in a very long time I knew there was help on my side. I knew there was some one that understood me and what had happened in my marriage and was going to help the one in pain and that was me. I could not believe it was me in this terrible situation. It was such a relief knowing I hand the support of a McKinley Irvin family law team. As the process went on its course Laura Pride a member of the team was always there to help with receiving or passing on any needed information very promptly. She was always professional and accurate very patient and kind. My divorce was complex due to the high number of assets and the value. The way Collin McKean handled my case I knew he was very experienced and skilled. As time went on I felt confident that the outcome was going to be OK. In the end it turned out better than I could have ever imagined. Divorce is a tragic experience however I am very pleased with the end result and believe it or not there is life after divorce. Hang in there it is a rough ride for sure. I would highly recommend McKinley Irvin and the team of Collin McKean and Laura Pride to anyone needing dire help and support for family legal matters. No doubt they are the best and I am very grateful for our crossing paths.
