Jennifer J. Payseno

I could not have asked for a better legal team. When dealing with divorce, you never know what to expect from your ex. Dreams of calm negotiation sadly often spiral into nightmares of insane demands and accusations. No-one expects divorce, and usually you don't know where to start to find a lawyer to... trust when your world is falling apart around you. When your priority is to protect yourself, and your kids, you want the best team you can find - a team that will help you achieve calmer negotiation if at all possible, but can also win handily in a high conflict situation if needed. Jennifer Payseno is both deeply knowledgeable and incredibly well connected. She advised me reliably on every issue I needed, and helped me to achieve an outcome that exceeded my expectations. My case was complex, with special needs children, DV, income disparities, etc and she was able to help me through all of it. She was always prepared, fair, and focused on seeking the best outcome long-term / for the kids. She helped to change the course of my family's lives and I could not be more grateful.

During a very painful time in my life, I found a bright star in attorney Jennifer Payseno and her team. Two years later, my eyes well up with tears just remembering their compassion while guiding me with expert knowledge and precise actions. My mom was dying of Pancreatic Cancer at the time. Their t...horough guidance was invaluable. Most importantly, she and all on her team were exceptionally responsive to ALL my inquiries. I was well informed about realistic expectations and what she could negotiate on my behalf. She closed the financials of a multi million dollar, 26 year marriage in 6 months. My husband fired his lawyer and even trusted Jennifer to complete the Divorce. I expressed a small part of my gratitude with Glassy-baby: Awesome ain’t Easy!

I hired Ms. Payseno for my divorce and child custody case. I believe her knowledge of the process and skill in navigating the law and procedures is what won my case. She stays the course and keeps things above board. She is clear with the strategy and, along with her staff, is available and understan...ding of the difficult time this is for most people. Ms. Payseno genuinely cares about her clients and I trust her implicitly.

I hired Jennifer when I realized my ex was an out of control narcissistic lying Pro Se who would stop at nothing to crush me financially and emotionally. I needed a tough and experienced attorney who could protect and defend my interests. Jennifer was just perfect. She caught on with every little det...ail of my case early on and never stopped to amaze me. She is the right mix of tough and compassionate and was simply magnificent in court, with so much ease and poise. I did not always listened to her or liked what she had to tell me, but I realized early on that she was very realistic with potential outcomes, knowledgeable, very bright and relentless in her pursuit of justice for her clients. She was always right on. I was an emotional wreck during my 15 months ordeal, but Jennifer always sorted through feelings and facts gently and had my best interest at heart. She was available via email during business hours, but also at night and in weekends. Her team Kristina, Jessica and John were just wonderful to work with. My case got complicated with a bankruptcy filed by my ex, Jennifer never skipped a beat and was able to use it to my advantage. We went through numerous motions and hearings and even though there is never a real winner or loser in a divorce, Jennifer won every battle for me. The finale will always be unforgettable to me: After Jennifer finished a magnificent presentation while digging deep into the complex laws of bankruptcy, the judge scolded my ex, attacked his credibility, threatened him of sanctions and awarded me the house he had been trying to steal from me for years. This was just priceless. I ended up settling my case a week before trial due to financial reasons, but there is no doubt in my mind, that had I gone to trial, Jennifer would have won that last battle for me and the ex would have got what he deserved. I was in great hands through this painful process and would definitely recommend Jennifer and her team to anyone finding themselves in a highly contested divorce. She is simply the best. The downside is that her firm is very expensive, I did cringe at the 6 figures I had to spend, but I really got what I paid for, the best representation. She gave me my life back.

I worked with Jennifer Payseno at McKinley Irvin on a child custody modification. Some words that describe here are: professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly, realistic. Her passion for her profession became obvious as she made the effort to know me and to understand my situation. I provided... volumes of information that would be difficult for most to read past the first page. It became apparent through the process that Jennifer and her staff took the time to not only read it, but become very familiar with it so that they could better help me through my situation. I very highly recommend Jennifer and McKinley Irvin to anyone in need of a family law expert and highly competent advocate.
