Highly Recommend

I have absolutely no reservation in recommending Kim Schnuelle to anyone and everyone. She is the perfect balance of knowledge and empathy. I felt full supported through my divorce process and always trusted in her extensive knowledge and experience. She was straightforward while being very unders...tanding of the emotional difficulty of the situation and complicated things that came up during the process for me personally. She was also creative in navigating the psychology of my case and ensuring I ended up with the best possible outcome. I am so grateful to have had her by my side.

Review for Kim Schnuelle

Kim was my attorney during my divorce. I was glad to have done my research because, in hiring Kim, I picked an atty with a strong background in difficult personalities, mental health issues and complicated proceedings. My case did end up with multiple difficult surprises that could have devastated ...me financially and socially, but Kim got me through it without a scratch. I am a decent writer myself and work with lawyers frequently in my work; but I could NEVER have produced the legal artifacts (letters) that Kim did. They were extremely effective and served to close a very difficult process relatively quickly with an emphasis on ethics. My case ended up being difficult enough that I don't think the average divorce lawyer would have done as well for me. I recommend Kim without reservation.

Extremely Knowledgeable and Dedicated

I worked with Kim and her team on two separate but related cases involving divorce and child custody, the first containing rather unusual and complex international components. To her immense credit, Kim embraced this as a challenge and an opportunity to expand her legal expertise. I could hardly ask ...for a more hard-working, sensitive, and professional attorney with a strict attention to detail and organized, rational approach. Her knowledge of family law and the King county legal system seems to me unparalleled. Having Kim and her team on my side frankly provided the peace of mind that I could achieve the best possible outcome in the midst of what was a very stressful situation. I would recommend her services to anyone in need of similar legal assistance.

Divorce and again with mediation

Kim listened to my facts, and also my experience. I felt supported and guided through both processes, which was so important when moving through the big emotions and trying to do what's right for the kids. These things felt big and scary and confusing, and Kim helped me feel confident that I was maki...ng choices with good information and consistent communication. I also valued her experience and awareness of all the other players in the process.

High Integrity, Communicative, Strong Advocate

Kim supported me through a post-divorce mediation that was critical to changing the parenting plan and child support. As an attorney myself, I have high standards and Kim exceeded all my expectations. Kim was very communicative, patient with my questions, and always aware of the importance of finan...cial transparency. I felt prepared for the mediation, had my expectations in check, and was fully supported by Kim throughout the day. We achieved our desired outcome and I could not be more pleased with the caliber of service I received from Kim and her entire team at McKinley Irvin.
