I highly recommend Theresa Lorella for anyone seeking a clear, professional, and supportive attorney for their divorce. My case was a high-asset, amicable divorce with children after 20 years of marriage. From the start, Theresa was upfront and direct, clearly explaining what was and wasn’t possible according to the law. I truly appreciated her ability to write our separation agreement in a way that was easy to understand, avoiding legal jargon so we knew exactly what we were signing.

One of her most valuable contributions was helping us minimize the number of meetings, which not only saved time but also reduced costs. Her suggestion to work with a certified divorce financial accountant was instrumental in clearly and efficiently dividing our assets. Theresa got to know me and my goals early in the process, which allowed her to guide the case in a way that kept everything on track and in alignment with what I wanted.

While the process ended up being more expensive than I originally expected, I still believe Theresa’s guidance and expertise were well worth it. Though there were times when I had to follow up for a response, Theresa and her assistant, Ryan, were usually very quick and thorough when answering my questions. They coordinated everything smoothly, even handling all the signatures and paperwork in one day by arranging a notary at their office. They also facilitated the division of our 401k, which was a huge relief.

One of the greatest benefits of working with Theresa was her ability to hold the process together so I could continue living my life without major disruptions. I didn’t always have a complete step-by-step understanding of how everything would unfold, but the process did go exactly as she said it would.

We were able to avoid going to court entirely, which was a huge win. Theresa’s professionalism, combined with her practical approach, ensured that the entire process remained peaceful and conflict-free. I felt heard and supported throughout, and I believe her dedication helped us move through this significant life change as smoothly as possible.

If you’re looking for a lawyer who will guide you with clarity, efficiency, and compassion, I highly recommend Theresa.

Finding a competent yet reliable family law attorney can be daunting. Brian Edwards came in to my case late stage and was fantastic. We were up against a notoriously litigious attorney whose goal was to bully and intimidate. Brian has a commanding and confident demeanor and an integrity that instills confidence and calm among the stress and chaos of divorce. He is very responsive and communicates all possible outcomes and options thoroughly. He is quick thinking and methodical in trial, and with very little time to get caught up on my case, he was incredibly thorough. Brian picked up on all the inconsistencies, and after a grueling and traumatizing divorce experience, watching him hold the other team accountable for their behavior and gaining a favorable outcome for me was incredibly validating and healing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Brian and feel blessed to have found him. I also appreciate Susan in accounts for her kind words of support.

Lauren and Nathan worked hard on my case, and kept in constant communication with me for the duration of it.
They worked late hours of the evening, and gave expert advice to me in my situation. Not all divorces are created equal, but if I had to do this all again, they would be the first office I would call, without delay.

First on all, filing for divorce is not an easy decision. Finding the right attorney is not either and finding someone that you can trust and defend your rights as a women in a no-fault state, is even harder. Specially when you are dealing with someone that can work the system and can charm just about anyone, that’s why he always chooses women to use their talents. My life is on the line, my daughter’s lives are on the line. Nathan Julius and Lauren Lloyd have been nothing but outstanding defending my rights. When I ran out of money, Nathan protected my rights, as a stayed at home mom. This is not an easy case and as I am approaching mediation in a few weeks. I know that Nathan and Lauren will fight for me as they have been fighting to this date. If you need someone that will fight for you, I recommend Nathan 100%.

I worked with Brent Bohan for almost two years on my divorce. He was recommended to me by a lawyer friend and it was clear from the beginning that I had made the right choice in attorney. I loved that Brent represented me because he was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and diligent. He helped me feel at ease through the whole process. Furthermore, I am very happy with the result he helped me achieve. His paralegal Lindsey also deserves credit because she was incredibly efficient, easy to work with, and helpful!

Nathan and Lauren did a spectacular job on my divorce. I had an extremely difficult ex-wife and they were prepared for everything she and her attorney tried. I can't articulate just how good a job they did. The settlement was better than I could have imagined. If I could give them 20 stars I would, I recommend them to anyone. They were truly spectacular!!!

Going through divorce is a devastating and daunting experience. Brent and his team of paralegals helped navigate the emotional tinderbox of this process with expert legal knowledge and experienced understanding of case law. When faced with outlandish claims and requests from opposing counsel Brent and his team remained composed and professional bringing calm to the situation and helping me follow their example. In the end we reached a reasonable and rational result which was miles from where we started. I hope I’m not in a position to need Brent’s expertise in the future but his friendly and competent staff are highly recommended to those that do.

Kim Schnuelle and her team are top notch legal professionals. Kim took her time in the initial consultation to give me a thorough explanation of the divorce process, and what the timeline would look like. We worked together to set realistic expectations for the settlement, and accomplished this in a very efficient and cost-effective manner. Kim, Rachel and Christine were always quick to respond if I had a question or concern, which was very reassuring during an incredibly stressful life situation. I really felt like they had my back! We finalized the settlement in mediation, Kim being very skilled in working to get the best possible outcome for me through her exceptional negotiating skills. I highly recommend Kim Schnuelle with McKinley Irvin!
