McKinley Irvin

As a longtime client of Teresa Foster I have to say she is simply the best family law attorney in the Portland-​Vancouver area. I interviewed several attorneys before hiring Teresa and couldn’t be happier with her results. She provides a direct, honest, and strategic approach to successfully navigate even the most contentious cases. Teresa is passionate about her work and will fight to achieve/​protect the most vital interests for you and your children in divorce. I highly recommend Teresa to family and friends — she has done an AMAZING JOB for me.
Also, my hats off to the staff and Account Managers at McKinley Irvin. They are friendly, smart, and really accommodating. Top Notch!

Deanna is the best. She is efficient, knowledgeable and caring. She kept me informed with every aspect of my divorced and provided quality advice. She was available at all hours to instruct me to handle all situations that I encountered from a legal standpoint. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help me through this tremendously hard time in my life.

My nephew and his ex-​girlfriend have 1 child together and have not been together for a few years ago. She recently moved out of State and took their son with her without discussing it with his father. Unfortunately, they did not have a custody agreement in place. We researched different sites to find a good attorney. Based on her rating and reviews, we decided to call Deanna Rusch. She saw us the day after we called her office. Everyone we had talked to had said it could take months for him to get his son back, so we were all feeling rather discouraged. However, Deanna had papers for him to bring his son back within 4 days of our initial meeting with her. Deanna was very caring, honest, and professional. When we would start to get frustrated, she would calmly remind us of what the goal was and «keep us on track». We trusted her completely and did everything she advised we do. Deanna fought very hard for my nephew and his son. I am so thankful that we hired Deanna. She is by far the best attorney I have ever worked with and I would highly recommend her to anyone. I firmly believe that if it was not for her knowledge of the law, her wisdom, honesty, professionalism, and dedication, we may not have had the happy ending we have had. Thank you so much, Deanna. You have no idea how very grateful we all are to you and your team.

Deanna worked effectively in cooperation with my CA attorney to win Sole legal and physical custody of my child. I could not be happier as she helped get my daughter out of a very psychologically harmful environment. I was concerned at first about the cost and billing but now i see that every dollar spent was well worth it. Highly recommended for multi State jurisdiction issues, and for cases involving CPS /​CJC investigations.

I hired McKinley Irvin and Blake Hilty for a custody case. My ex lived in another state and it was complicated. I thought I was hiring the best because Blake seems knowledgeable and was really expensive. But he gave wrong information and that was a red flag. I changed because he and this firm run up your bill incredibly high. I’m so glad I got out. Horrible experience overall.
