Amy was a consummate professional in her representation of me in my divorce. She provided excellent advice and never had a single lapse of any kind over the year-long period in which she represented me. She helped to put me in the best position to succeed on fair and equitable terms. I am completely satisfied with her work.

Every divorce is different and has different issues, but I have to say I felt supported by Amy, Kerry and her staff throughout the process. Amy was my second divorce attorney, as I fired my first for lack of communication and lack of a coherent strategy. Within my first meeting, I knew exactly what Amy was going to do. She was more expensive but 100% worth it. She kept opposing counsel on his toes, calling him out when needed and shutting him down completely on a number of occasions when he wasn't doing his job or stalling. I walked out of this better than I expected and for that I am extremely grateful. It truly felt like I had a team behind me throughout the whole process.

The representation I received from McKinlay Law Offices was of the highest quality. Amy is the consummate professional. She is smart, responsive and thorough. Amy takes her role as an advocate for her client's best interests very seriously. She took time to answer all of my questions and to reassure me that we were moving in the right direction toward resolution. Divorce is difficult, but Amy helped to make it as smooth and expeditious as possible. It was clear to me that Amy has the respect of her peers in the domestic relations field; this helped me as her client because opposing counsel knew that Amy was not going to agree to anything that wasn't in my best interest. Amy's decades of experience in domestic relations meant that she was able to give me a "roadmap" of what to expect in a process that is often frightening and intimidating. Her strong and steady guidance gave me piece of mind. As the ultimate measure of my respect for her work, I have referred many of my friends to Amy for representation. I cannot recommend Amy and her team at McKinkay Law Offices highly enough.

I could not be more disappointed in the representation from this office. If you have a simple case and just need someone to review a standard agreement, perhaps they can help. If, however, the divorce is going to be contested (especially in Delaware County), I implore you to choose different representation. Here are some examples of why...

- I still have the first estimate Amy gave me for what she thought was "worst case" payments for child and spousal support. The temporary orders were more than twice that estimate. I was advised that "temporary orders are just temporary". Well, it took over 2.5 years to finish the process, and the final verdict is still nearly twice her "worst case estimate". I will point out the final verdict is also far worse than the court appointed Guardian ad Lidem had estimated, so yes - the magistrate practiced some questionable math. Which leads me to the second point...

- Amy passed me off to her associate Kerry, because she was cheaper. Both Amy and Kerry are personable, but Kerry was not effective in questioning myself or my ex during the trial process. This left many gray areas where clearer answers would have helped the magistrate come to a more reasonable judgment. On more than one occasion, I was told the opposing lawyer was either committing malpractice, or in some other way was offending the magistrate (which would presumably help in the final verdict). That clearly was not the case.

- Finally, I never got an apology or acknowledgment that the initial estimate was grossly inaccurate, or apology for lack of skill in the court appearances. I have gave Kerry specific points where she could have interjected or redirected the case. She didn't respond.

Divorce isn't easy on anyone. Your legal representation is critical. I went to Amy because she was recommended by a friend who had a much easier case. If your case is at all contested, good luck.
