Law Office of Araceli Amaya

I engaged Araceli Amaya to help with my divorce process. She is extremely smart, figures out complex situations with few questions and very empathetic. Her attention to detail and no-nonsense approach to problem solving are amazing. Initially i was worried if attorney can understand the unique challenges & situation with international assets, complex emotional situation with children etc. - but Araceli has been a tremendous help in the overall process. Highly recommend her and she can be a true partner in the complex legal journey!!!

Araceli and her staff at McKinley Irvin are very supportive and responsive. She is very knowledgeable and gives you great insight to both sides of a situation. She presented all the possibilities for my situation and helped me get the result I wanted. I would highly recommend Araceli and the McKinley Irvin firm for any family law case.

Errors, lack of knowledge, big fees even though my ex was agreeing to everything... I had to send papers back to lawyer (Anthony Zorich jr.) several times due to errors they made writing them; I'd ask what a statute was about because I was signing that I understood or complied with it, and lawyer Anthony just said he didn't know, that he didn't have time to look them up or memorize them (isn't that his job? To know that stuff for me?) He wrote to have payments made to companies instead of me, so the state can't automatically recover that money for me.... I had no idea at the time that there were options or I would have chosen to have it paid to me! It was just a very expensive mess even though my ex was agreeing to anything we wrote!! So I would never recommend him or the paralegal I worked with! Now I have to spend many hours of precious time and money fixing (re-writing) visitation and child support and go back to court all over again, and ex is no longer in picture...

Great experience with Araceli. Knowledgeable, responsive, effective, and served my needs while also giving me the best advice, vs. pressuring me to handle issues a specific way. Support staff also very friendly, responsive, and effective.

I sincerely thank Blake for all his help throughout the legal process. He consistently impressed me with his expertise and professionalism. I appreciated his attention to detail and consideration for my best interest. I always felt I was the better represented half and would highly recommend him.
