Dedicated Attorney

Blake oversaw the final stages of my divorce settlement, pertaining to property settlement and child support. The issues were beyond complicated and as with many family law cases, emotions ran high. Blake steered the course with tremendous expertise and a brilliance for retaining truck loads of fac...ts and figures. Due to Blake's tenacity, dedication and leadership of his team, the outcome was more remarkably positive than I could have ever imagined.

Blake Hilty is a highly desirable family law attorney

I am very lucky to have found Blake Hilty from McKinley Irvin. He is very professional but what impressed me the most was his ability to quickly recognize the issues and work to find constructive and practical solution to solve them. He worked very hard to get me the desired and reasonable outcome as... permitted under the law without generating unnecessary legal fees. I could trust Blake for his good advice. He keeps up to date with changes in family law and studies the case in depth and most importantly uses the LEGAL LEVERAGE to build the case rather than using false accusations or raising petty issues to win a case. I would recommend him because he is honest, diligent and very sharp in his work. This is what you need to get protection or justice or win a case because Judges are very intelligent and they can decipher easily between the truth and lies. I was very happy with the outcome which was fair and reasonable and also felt that he wanted to save attorney fees for me all the time.

High Conflict Divorce went to Trial

I was involved in a high-conflict divorce over a period of a more than year which culminated in a 4 day trial. As anyone can imagine, divorce is difficult in the best of circumstances, but when things are hostile and combative to the level of my experience, it can be soul-crushing. The time, effort a...nd stress it takes to go to trial is overwhelming at best. I am so thankful I had Blake throughout this process. We didn't always agree, and I lost my cool a few times, but Blake was forever righting the ship and keeping me on track by focusing on the goals and appealing to my reason in lieu of emotion- not an easy thing to do when talking about your children. He is the most detail-orientated professional I've ever met and when you have 1000 moving parts, as my divorce did, this is invaluable. There were moments in trial when I just watched him in awe. He is unassuming in his calculations, but do not be mistaken, he is calculating intelligently. He was fair and consistent and calm under pressure. I would highly recommend Blake to anyone going through divorce.

So thankful for Blake at McKinley Irvin

Blake helped me win a summary judgement that was brought forth in the midst of an ongoing custody dispute with my child's father. The motion for this summary judgement was unexpected, very poorly done by the opposing counsel, and I had no choice but to spend that last of my legal funds in preparing ...my response to the motion. Blake volunteered to work with me in finalizing my response and he represented me at the hearing pro bono. Not only did we win but I was also awarded full attorney's fees. Blake's generosity and professionalism put some humanity back into this very difficult legal process for me. Blake was clear and concise in the court room, he was firm and clearly has a strong confidence in the court room. He showed great compassion towards me and the situation I was in and I really appreciated that. He was fast in his communication and responses to me and I was always kept informed of what the next steps were. I am so grateful and satisfied with my experience with Blake and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an effective and compassionate lawyer.

Blake was fantastic!!!

The word divorce is one of the ugliest words to have to come out of your mouth. I was scared, I felt alone, I felt like my life was over, and that I would never recover. I interviewed five attorneys before I found Blake. He was very busy at the time and I had to ask to be taken on as a client bec...ause I felt so strongly that this was the man that was going to help me after our initial consultation. He very kindly took me on, which I am in his debt for because he does not mess around. He doesn't over talk, he doesn't overcharge, he doesn't mess around with things that don't matter. He is very informative and concise and makes you feel like you have a warrior at your back. I was a complete mess and Blake helped bring me back to earth. He set a plan in motion for what needed to be done, even though I had absolutely no idea what Came next. In every divorce case there is always a multitude of tiny things that must be dealt with. Blake and his paralegal were amazing!! If they didn't get back to me instantly, it was always very promptly, even if he was in court. My story is different as my husband and I were able to reconcile after six months, and no one could've been happier for me than Blake and his paralegal. As a family law/divorce attorney he knew and supported what was right for me he didn't try to keep me on the divorce path to make more money. He was caring, and he was happy that my husband and I were able to work things out. I know that this is not everyone's experience and I feel very fortunate. To have Blake have my back when things are rough, but to be there when things turned better was one of the kindest things I've experienced in an attorney. He has all of the qualities that you want when dealing with something so incredibly horrible it's impossible to face. Let him be your warrior, let him be your strong man, he is amazing. I literally cannot say enough good things about him. I would recommend him to any single person that I know that needs his services.
