Jamie R Walker

Jamie R Walker is a competitive, strategic litigator who understands that a person going through a divorce needs a dedicated advocate on their side. She successfully negotiated a settlements and has extensive experience family law. "Behind Jamie’s friendly, outgoing demeanor is an attorney who hates ...to lose," Going through a divorce for my first and hopefully only time in my life after a 30 year marriage was not a fun experience. Jamie was an anchor who always made me feel like we were doing the right thing. We did not have to go to trial we ended the divorce through a mediator. Once again Jamie’s experience came through. She refused the first choice that opposing counsel wanted because she know that it would not be in our favor to use them. Mediation went extremely well. We were very prepared and won on all of our points by having the documentation to show them. I could not have asked for a better result I’m extremely happy with my choice and would recommend her to anyone who is going through an unfortunate divorce. Thanks again Jamie you are a ray of sunshine on a stormy day. Michael

Ms. Walker represented my son in a protracted child custody matter involving my grandchild. From the very first consultation, Ms. Walker impressed me with her ability to analyze the facts presented to her and to develop a strategy quickly. Ms. Walker always maintained a high degree of professionali...sm in court which allowed my son to remain calm, often under very trying circumstances, and to rely on Ms. Walker for her thorough knowledge of the law involving child custody matters. Ms. Walker's greatest asset, in my opinion, was out-maneuvering the opposing side yet doing so while maintaining the highest ethical standards. Her keen intellect, professional demeanor, and ability to offer my son reassurance as he grappled with the seriousness of the custody matter were invaluable to him. Ms. Walker was successful in procuring both a restraining order and a contempt of court finding in my son's case, which helped to pave the way for an eventual order granting my son custody of my grandson with his mother only being awarded supervised visitation. I am grateful to Ms. Walker for her contribution in helping to remove my grandson from an unhealthy and unstable environment.

I have nothing but praise for Jamie. She was patient, understanding but most importantly she was knowledgeable of the laws and process. My case was a pain in the butt and as most divorces was ugly at times. Jamie kept focused and work hard for me. Even after the case was done she answered several qu...estions I had about my ex wife not following the decree. She willing answered them for me right away. I highly recommend her. Don R

Jamie provided excellent legal service in work to restructure my spousal support agreement. The final ruling by the judge ticked down each of the opposing lawyer's points, and found all of those points to be without merit. Jamie, through her knowledge, experience, skill, and tenacity ... was able t...o make the correct decision on all points very clear to the judge in the case. Additionally, she kept me well informed as the proceedings unfolded. Jamie gave me great advice on trial strategy, and was able to walk me through the positives and negatives of the various options we pursued. The trial was very difficult for me to endure, however Jamie guided me through it perfectly. The overwhelmingly positive trial ruling by the judge confirmed her excellence. As a person, I found her to be both friendly and very professional. Bottom line ... I highly recommend Jamie to anyone needing legal counsel in matters of family law.

I have had the pleasure of working with McKinley Irvin for almost two years. When my case first got started, it was so complicated (international family battle) that all attorneys in Kitsap county (even the "best" ones) refused to take it. Other Seattle attorneys were the same. I found McKinley Irvin... and when Jamie Walker took on my case, she hit the ground running. My case was so complex, that it was even hard to explain, but with Jamie's acute sense of understanding and perception, she knew what needed to be done, and prospered during each motion and during trial. On a personal level, I think we all know that the parties who are involved in legal disasters are like patients going under general anesthesia; it's essential to confide and trust an attorney because family proceedings are like having one's life on the line. Jamie is warm, caring, very personable and reassuring especially during the most crucial moments. I am so proud of my legal team and I infinitely recommend Jamie Walker for either simple proceedings or complex disasters as mine was. With Jamie's triumph in the courtroom, she successfully pulled me through a year of litigation. Thank you!!! Family is priceless!!!
