introduction
Behind Jennifer Payseno's calm and deliberate demeanor are the intellect and ability of one of Seattle's finest family law attorneys. Practicing since 1992 and affiliated with McKinley Irvin since 1999, the former trustee of the King County Bar Association is highly regarded throughout the family law community for her integrity, courtroom skills, and unwavering commitment to the families she serves.
The first thing I do is create a rapport with my clients, who are often under significant stress, Jennifer notes. I work hard to establish an environment of trust and ease, which helps me focus quickly on their hopes, fears, and expectations so we can begin developing an effective case strategy.
While Jennifer is a caring legal advisor to her clients, she is at the same time an intense and effective advocate.
I leave no stone unturned when representing my clients' vital interests, Jennifer says. Sometimes we go to court; sometimes we don't. But we are always prepared, no matter what the circumstances. That is how we maximize results.
"Jennifer Payseno is one of the very best family law attorneys in the business. She is at the top of her game." --Founding Partner Sands McKinley
Jennifer says she chose to practice family law so that she could make a fundamental and positive difference in the lives of her clients. One of the most appealing aspects of the practice, she says, is its exceptional variety, both in terms of circumstances and people.
Every case is different, the veteran attorney says. On any given day, I might be dealing with business interests, real estate investments, stock options, parenting plans, or tax issues. What never changes, however, are my beliefs in putting my clients first and negotiating from a position of strength.
Founding partner Sands McKinley is an unabashed admirer of his colleague's skill and savvy.
We met Jennifer years ago when she was the opposing attorney in a case, he recalls. She was an extremely tough opponent, exceptionally well prepared, well-respected by the court, and a steadfast client advocate. She understood how to develop case strategy and execute it effectively. In sum, she wasand isa real pro. We knew she belonged at McKinley Irvin, and we had the good fortune of persuading her to join us."
"I would like to give my sincere appreciation to Jennifer Payseno and staff. You all stood by me no matter how trying my case got. I always felt at ease knowing that you were there to guide me through this most difficult time. Thank you for not only being my attorney but becoming part of our extended family." --Former Client M.F., Florida
Last fall you recommended McKinley Irvin for my son's divorce. It has been a long and difficult year. [My Son's] divorce was settled Monday and he has full custody of his two children. Jennifer Payseno was extremely thorough and gave us the confidence we needed to get through the process. I just wanted to thank you and give you that feedback..." --Former Client K.F., Woodinville, Washington
"Jennifer/Jessica - I can't tell you how much I appreciate your help with my case. I know the call I got from your office was an answer to my tearful and earnest prayers to God for help. I was feeling so alone and so overwhelmed and beaten... I told Jennifer at our first meeting that she had more insight and strategy about my case in our 1.5 hours meeting than my previous attorney had demonstrated in 1.5 months." --Former Client W.C., Bellevue, Washington
Jennifer Payseno is a powerhouse attorney. She is knowledgeable, fair, and executes smart strategies. She knows the "system" and is well respected by both attorneys and the Court. My case was extremely complicated and contentious. Jennifer was always prepared for our hearings and was usually able to secure a favorable outcome. I appreciate too her genuine care and concern for me and my children and her willingness to answer all my questions. When my divorce was final, there were ongoing court battles with my ex and Jennifer continued to work with me and to litigate as needed on my behalf. She willingly shared her knowledge with me and helped me do as much on my own as I could give a limited budget. I hope I don't have to call upon her again, but I know if I do, she will be there for me." --Former Client T.P., Seattle, Washington
