McKinley Irvin

Do not hire Lindsey Noel. Unfortunately I did and after two meeting her fee increased. She was very inexperienced and quiet, not standing up for me whatsoever. She signed the final divorce decree without even reading it, as opposing attorney increased possessions to my ex. No joke she signed and didn’t read. She comped the next 6 months of fees, still with unfavorable outcome. Horrible experience!!

I had an easy relocation case, mandatory military move with primary custody. Lindsay showed up the day of trial with no evidence to support any of the factors (even though I sent them to her) or to back up alcohol abuse and absent parenting of my ex. She told me that she was so nervous about the trial she didn't actually prep. She only got her briefs and evidence together a couple days before the trail. She also told me she hates cross examining because she doesn't like to be mean or have people not like her. So when my ex husband lied about all of his terrible behavior she didn't push back or have any evidence to fall back on.... After the trial she told me that we would be able to show the evidence to the judge if she believed his lies... then when the judge believed him ruled against my relocation, I was told I had absolutely no options. I am now forced to live away from my husband and step son for the next 2 years until they can hopefully be stationed here with me and my younger children. About $30,000 in attorney fees, and another $10,000 to pay for travel and to move back in less than 2 weeks after losing the trial. When I asked for a refund, I was told, "our attorney represented your interests well both prior to and at trial" by the Law Practice Managing Partner at McKinley Irvin. I spoke with several other attorneys to somehow fix my situation, I was told each time it is too late. Your attorney ruined any chance of ever being able to move to this duty station with your husband. I feel like Lindsay ruined my life for the next two years and then made me pay her to do it. When I tried to be reasonable and just ask for a refund, McKinley Irvin stood behind her negligence and refused to refund an obviously horrible representation.

I had a consultation with Amy Carei about a shared property dispute with an ex-boyfriend that was in both our names. Amy laid out all my options very clearly, but stated the cheapest option would be to reclaim the property myself, an attorney was not necessary for that. I did what Amy suggested and the title is being signed over to me today, with no attorney necessary. Amy is worth her weight in gold. I would highly recommend her as she gave me the option that was in the best interest of ME, and not the firm's bottom line. Bravo Amy.
