McKinley Irvin

I’m incredibly grateful to Brent Bohan, Laura Grigore, and Lindsey Matter for helping me successfully recover a deeply meaningful family heirloom that had remained out of my family’s possession for more than five years following the end of an abusive relationship. The situation was extremely sensitive and complicated by a history of DV and coercive control, and the team handled it with such thoughtfulness, professionalism, and exactly the strategy that I needed. Brent provided excellent guidance and helped identify a path forward that was appropriately measured while still protecting my interests and personal safety. Laura did a particularly wonderful job crafting the communications, and her approach was tactful, precise, and remarkably effective. Lindsey was also fantastic in handling the follow-up and coordinating the logistics that ultimately got the heirloom safely back into my family’s hands. Given the history involved, I genuinely thought I would never see my late grandmother’s artwork again. Having it back home means more to my family than I can adequately express, and I’m tremendously appreciative of Brent, Laura, and Lindsey for making that possible.

I worked with Kim Schnuelle and Rachel Latt at McKinley Irvin through a lengthy and complex family law matter, and I am incredibly grateful to both of them for their guidance and support throughout the process. Kim is an exceptional attorney. What stood out most was her judgment and ability to think strategically while never losing sight of my priorities. She took the time to understand my situation, clearly explained my options and potential outcomes, and gave me candid advice that allowed me to make informed decisions. She knew when a strong response was necessary, when patience was the better approach, and how to keep the process focused on what actually mattered. Her legal writing and advocacy were outstanding. She has an impressive ability to take complicated facts and history and turn them into clear, focused, and persuasive arguments. I developed tremendous trust in her judgment over the course of my case. Rachel was equally important to my experience with the firm. She was extremely organized, responsive, knowledgeable, and dependable. In a matter involving a significant amount of documentation, communication, deadlines, and moving pieces, Rachel consistently kept things organized and moving forward. She was always familiar with what was happening in my case and made communication with the legal team seamless. Communication from both Kim and Rachel was consistently prompt and effective. There were even circumstances when guidance was provided outside normal working hours when something required timely attention. That level of responsiveness made an enormous difference throughout the process. What I appreciated most about Kim and Rachel was that I came to genuinely trust the team. They remained focused on providing constructive, strategic advice, protecting what mattered most to me, and moving the process toward resolution. I am extremely thankful to Kim and Rachel for their professionalism, patience, responsiveness, advocacy, and support. After working with them for an extended period and seeing how they handled many different circumstances, I can recommend them without hesitation.

Tristen Key was amazing to work with! So smart, great at her job, and easy to talk to. I feel very fortunate to have had such a wonderful advocate on my side.

My Attorney Brent and his team including Lindsey and Tom provided me with excellent service. They were always quick to respond to questions and requests, knowledgable in family law, and attentive to the specific needs of my case. Highly recommend this team!

Tristen Key was amazing in my very high conflict divorce. There were times when friends and family would be pushing me to switch lawyers because my ex intentionally dragged everything out that he could. I trusted that Tristen knew what she was doing and when I had questions, her answers were clear and concise. (ie this is what the court expects or until this happens, this can't.) Tristen's skill and knowledge prevented me wasting money by making frivolous demands or motions. She kept things very real. When all was said and done, I walked away with what I was entitled by law and was able to get the closure I was seeking.
