Divorce is a very difficult thing to go through particularly when you have two young children and family on both sides that are devastated by the impact of the divorce. In early 2014 I met with Jamie Walker and I was very impressed by our conversation. In the fog of the divorce and dealing with running my business, being upset, stressed and depressed all at the same time I did not immediately hire McKinley Irvin to represent me. That was my mistake. I waited 4 months. When going through a divorce you have to have representation and as I have found out over the last two turbulent years I could not have hired a better law firm to represent me and my family. Jamie Walker is a very caring strategic litigator. More often than not because of the difficulty of the case Jamie kept me moving in the right direction. I could really tell that she cared and was not willing to back down or give up the fight despite the many challenges. There was so much that happened in this case over the past two years that it would be impossible to wrap that up in a few sentences. I can say that I never was going to except being a weekend father. I wanted to be a part of my kids lives as much as possible. I would not give up nor would Jamie her paralegal Kendra Lytle. Those two are a great team. In the end I have joint custody now thanks to Jamie. I know for a fact that the way our family was represented and how strategic they were in there representation that in the end we won. There is a reason McKinley Irvin is one of the top law firms in the country. They care about you and your family! I also need to mention Rainer Frank. Things come up over a two year period and Frank assisted me and had to step in court on one occasion and prevailed with his litigation and we won our day in court. That tells you how well the McKinley Irvin attorneys work together as a team and prepare each other when they need to step in to help support the other attorney in a difficult case. I would highly recommend Jamie and her paralegal Kendra Lytle and McKinley-Irvin if you find yourself in need of this type of counsel. Divorce changes your life forever. Jamie got my life back on track for the better! Never give up on your kids!! Never give up on representation and there is none better then McKinley Irvin!

At the first meeting with Anthony there was little doubt that he was the perfect attorney that my family needed. I felt as if I was under unprovoked assault and clearly being unfairly treated. It took him a matter of minutes to determine that I was not getting the proper legal representation that I needed. During this matter of minutes, he made it clear that I did indeed have a substantial case to present to the court. Being a father I felt that the deck was likely stacked against me and my children in courts (the statistics do paint a dismal picture). So trepidation and panic began part and parcel of my life. This trepidation was soon to end and justice was about to take shape for my family. Anthony worked effectively and quickly built up a case and made his strategy clear. He dictated the tempo of the opposition and forced integrity into their equation. When integrity and court orders were violated Anthony wasted no time in consulting with me and made the right legal move at the right time. Knowing the particulars, the opposition’s weakness(es), and the totality of the case, was all that was needed to effectively strike. The legal arguments, once put pen to paper, consisted of facts, facts, facts. There was no waste in his preparation and the pleadings he created were absolutely undeniable and filled with the truth. Anthony’s persuasive oral argument(s) in court left the commissioner with no choice but to grant me a favorable ruling and best of all, my ex-wife was held in contempt of court for her outlandish behaviour. My ex-wife was sobbing in court and had to be physically held up for fear of fainting during his arguments; I felt a ping of empathy for my mother of my children, but in the end Anthony was only presenting the true facts of the case. In the end, I am now a father in custody of his children. My children are safe, happy, and this, in large part, is due to the hard work put in by Anthony and Mallory. I am eternally grateful I sought his counsel and it was well worth the costs. Results matter, and Anthony and Mallory are the best in the business in achieving them. Should I need more legal counsel I will definitely seek Anthony Zorich again without hesitation. Respectfully, Ernest

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 H Whitney

Senior Attorney Jamie Walker and Kendra Lytle helped me get through the roughest time of my life. Their dedication, support, and steadfast determination to ensure I received what was best for me and my children made my divorce run smoothly and gave me confidence going forward. Given her vast experience, Jamie was able to successfully drive me through mediation and avoid a trial. Kendra was able to answer my constant questions and relieve my anxiety and stress during all the proceedings. Without reservation, I recommend Senior Attorney Jamie Walker and Kendra Lytle for any family law needs. Their experience, professionalism, knowledge, and interpersonal skills are unparalleled.

In my practice as a family law attorney over the last 6 years, I have had the experience of working with attorneys at McKinley Irvin, particularly with Lindsay Camandona. Lindsay is a hard-working and detail oriented attorney. She diligently represents her clients while also being realistic with them about their goals and the possible outcomes of their case. Lindsay is a very family oriented person and this transfers over into her work as a family law practitioner as she has the ability to relate to her clients. She is dedicated to the practice of law and I would not hesitate to hire her for a family law related matter.

Lindsay Camandona, family law attorney with McKinley Irvin, is charming, personable, and dedicated. I had the pleasure of meeting with Ms. Camandona to learn more about her experience at McKinley Irvin and about McKinley Irvin itself. Ms. Camandona made me feel immediately at home at McKinley Irvin and was more than willing to answer any questions that I had. I have no doubt that Ms. Camandona treats her clients the same and that she works tirelessly to meet her clients needs. I think any client would have the best experience if they hired Ms. Camandona to represent them in their family law matter.

Lindsay Camandona is hands down the best legal representation you can acquire for your family law case. If you want an attorney that is detailed, thorough and aggressive to stand up for what is legally fair and ethical, you need Lindsay on your case. Not only does she know how to justly navigate the legal system, she has a huge heart. She really cares for her clients well-being and strives for an amicable outcome. She earnestly listens to your needs and concerns and represents you with pure tenacity. If you want an attorney that’s “got your back”, make sure you consider Lindsay.

Had used the services of Mark/Eileen before they moved to McKinley Irvin and thought so highly of the work that Eileen had already done with my divorce that I stayed on with them. Eileen did a wonderful job of briefing me on the divorce process, provided both grace and compassion to a difficult situation, was highly communicative throughout the divorce proceedings and was all-in-all "Eileen-on-the-spot" with everything required either of myself or my ex-wife to effectively/efficiently complete this proceeding. All in all, a very positive experience for a tense/delicate time.

After researching several law firms we decided to go with McKinley Irvin. From the first phone call to finalizing paperwork, it was a great experience. We worked with Jamie Walker and she was an amazing attorney! This being my first experience with family law, there were many questions and concerns we had. Jamie was patient and wonderful at explaining the whole process down to the smallest details. She always seemed to be steps ahead of the opposing party and was a positive presence throughout. I would strongly recommend this law firm and Jamie Walker.

Jamie Walker states that a need of her clients is "relief from their situation". Jamie helped me out of a tough situation from the very first phone call and subsequent meeting. She took the time to actually get to know me and what was going on in my life relative to my divorce. Jamie and Kendra kept me informed all through the process and I did get a good outcome and ultimately relief from my situation. I would highly recommend Jamie and her paralegal Kendra Lytle and McKinley-Irvin if you find yourself in need of this type of counsel.

After an incredibly tumultuous and litigious case that spanned some 7 years, McKinley Irvin Family Law was brought on board. Jaime Walker and her staff were absolutely amazing and professional in every detail of their preparation, and presentation in our case. She effectively shut down the circus on the other side and I am finally back to a normal family life that is absent of litigation. Thank you McKinley Irvin!

Lindsay Camandona was a pleasure to work with as opposing counsel on a case we had together. That is not a statement I make lightly either. Lindsay was stern when it came to getting what her client wanted; however, she was also reasonable. She can represent her client zealously without being offensive or disrespectful to the other side. I would take a case where Lindsay is on the other side any day.

Lindsey Noel is probably the best attorney that I’ve come across. Everyone at McKinley Irvine was very helpful, Lindsey however is the attorney I worked with. She cares about her clients and she will go above and beyond to help them understand the laws that apply and their options. She was a huge help with me during my divorce and revising our parenting plan. I highly recommend her and the firm.

We used Ron Nerio as the attorney for our Prenup. The process went very smoothly and I would absolutely recommend Ron. He was communicative and easy to work with throughout the process. He got it done quickly as well.
