Jacqueline is a native Washingtonian. Her family has deep roots in Pierce County. Her great grandparents were some of the first homesteaders in the Graham/ Orting area where she grew up riding horses and climbing trees. Jacque’s family instilled in her a strong work ethic that has served her well. When she is not in the office, you can find her spending time with her family. Whether it is spending time with her mother, daughters, brother, niece, step children or extended family any excuse is a good one to spend time with family, share stories and laugh.
Jacque graduated from Seattle Pacific University with a triple major in political science, communications and business economics. She attended law school at the University of Puget Sound (now known as Seattle University School of Law). After law school, and proving to be a glutton for punishment, Jacque went on to receive her LL.M in Taxation from Golden Gate University School of Law where she graduated with honors.

helpful and understanding
Jacque is amazing. I found her by Googling lawyers, and I'm so glad I got lucky with her. She fought ferociously for what was best for me and my children. She did a fantastic job of explaining the legal process in a way that made it easy to understand, and all in a very timely manner. When it came to...

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, AMAZING ATTORNEY!!!
Jacqueline McMahon came into our lives a year ago. We were in the midst of so many heartbreaking aspects regarding the aftermath of parental alienation. Our children were in need of a major intervention. Despite a "mother-biased" GAL report, Jacque was able to litigate matters through a process of...

Motion for Contempt
Jacque is a caring, and ardent attorney. I was immediately impressed with her professionalism, and expertise with my ex husband's failure to pay his alimony, despite the fact that I hired her to take over my case from another lawyer. Jacque's writing skills are second to none. She has the ability to...
