couldn't have had a better lawyer by my side

First of all, the customer service at McKinley Irvin is THE BEST. The staff (including attorneys) are very responsive and always got me the info I needed exactly when I needed it. Lindsay Camandona is sharp but also extremely understanding. She helped me come to a very fair divorce and child custody ...settlement that ended up amicable although it easily could have been the opposite. I hope I never have to get divorced again, but if I did, I would hire her in a heartbeat!

Thank you so much

When I filed for my divorce in 2023, I had no idea where to start. I had a friend of mine who works in a law office advise Mickinley Irvine. I interviewed with Lindsay Camandona, and was very comfortable with her knowledge base and a stance to do things the right way. Throughout the year long divor...ce process Lindsay and her team were very professional, knowledgeable, and supportive. I hope I am not in need of another Family Law Attorney, but it I do I will be coming back here. Thank you

Fantastic

Functioning like an extension of my family, Lindsay Camandona and the McKinley Irvin team educated me through all aspects of the marriage dissolution process, kept me informed and organized at every step, and genuinely cared for my well-being throughout the difficult and stressful experience. I could...n't ask for a better team and outcome - Highly recommended!

Lindsay Camandona is the best!

I engaged Lindsay Camandona to represent me during an international divorce. Helping me to navigate a complex settlement, she was absolutely the best choice of all the options I researched. She handled the legal aspects with great competence, and her communication skills were excellent. Lindsay's war...m personal approach defused my stress at one of the most challenging times in my life! I felt heard and reassured, and Lindsay helped me to offer my ex-wife a fair deal. I highly recommend Lindsay Camandona as the right choice.

Navigating Divorce During COVID19

When I decided to file for divorce at the end of 2019/beginning of 2020, I researched law firms in Pierce County on avvo.com and McKinley Irvin popped up with really great reviews. Not knowing what the hell i was doing, I forwarded the reviews and firm's website to a colleague who practices law, and... she said to give it a go. When I called the firm, I was greeted by a professional and courteous staff member and eventually matched up with Lindsay Camandona. A week later, I met with Lindsay and immediately knew it was a good fit and that I wanted to move forward with retaining her. From there, Lindsay and her paralegal Jackie, helped me navigate the divorce process - which initially was tricky as my to-be-ex was out of the country. While we ultimately waited for him to return stateside, I felt the additional time gave us the opportunity to prepare for the next few months of temporary orders, court, CR2A, and eventually, final orders. I especially appreciated the responsiveness of Lindsay and Jackie - I had a lot of questions from start-to-end, as I always wanted to ensure I was moving forward correctly, legally, and in good faith. Of note for me in particular, was that Lindsay often removed the emotion of the process for me - as this was a particularly difficult for me and at times, I think my knee-jerk reaction would not have been advisable. Divorce sucks. Period. Lindsay and Jackie really made it bearable and I am beyond happy with the outcome. I shouldn't fail to mention that I was able to get my divorce accomplished amidst a pandemic. That has to speak volumes of this team's commitment to resolving the worst that life can throw at you. Many thanks.
