Blake Hilty is an excellent attorney. With professionalism and knowledge, he handled all aspects of my difficult divorce and parenting plan. Blake is great to work with. He is very quick to return phone calls and emails. He has been available to work with me on issues that have cropped up recently after the final papers were signed. I highly recommend Blake Hilty.

Blake Hilty was my attorney for my separation and divorce. He was extremely knowledgable, professional, and compassionate. He provided a clear and concise overview of the entire process, and helped me navigate each step along the way. He was attentive and detail-oriented. I enjoyed working with him and the staff at McKinley Irvin, and would highly recommend him!

It definitely can feel odd leaving a review for something as ugly as a divorce.

When all this happened to me I was scared, I felt alone, I felt like my life was over, and that I would never recover. I interviewed five attorneys before I found Blake.

He doesn't over talk, he doesn't overcharge, he doesn't mess around with things that don't matter.

He is very informative and concise and makes you feel like you have a warrior at your back. I was a complete mess and Blake helped bring me back to earth. He set a plan in motion for what needed to be done, even though I had absolutely no idea what Came next.

In every divorce case there is always a multitude of tiny things that must be dealt with. Blake and his paralegal were amazing!! If they didn't get back to me instantly, it was always very promptly, even if he was in court.

My story is different as my husband and I were able to reconcile after six months, and no one could've been happier for me than Blake and his paralegal. As a family law/divorce attorney he knew and supported what was right for me he didn't try to keep me on the divorce path to make more money.

He was caring, and he was happy that my husband and I were able to work things out. I know that this is not everyone's experience and I feel very fortunate.
To have Blake have my back when things are rough, but to be there when things turned better was one of the kindest things I've experienced in an attorney.

He has all of the qualities that you want when dealing with something so incredibly horrible it's impossible to face. Let him be your warrior, let him be your strong man, he is amazing. I literally cannot say enough good things about him.

I would highly recommend him to any single person that I know that needs his services.

McKinley Irvin was very responsive and professional. Blake Hilty supported me in an advisory capacity and was fantastic. He didn't attempt to grow his role or "sell" me on anything. He was just very responsive and wanted to know what my goals were. He was a good listener. Then he provided some very good coaching. Because of his guidance I was able to achieve a settlement that I was comfortable with and perhaps more importantly I avoided a hearing. I honestly believe that without his guidance the whole thing with my ex wife (was a modification) would have been much uglier, more stressful and far more expensive. Bake is a high integrity guy, which I really respect and appreciate.

Blake Hilty was my attorney for my divorce. This was my first and only divorce and It was a difficult process for me. I had little experience with the legal system. Mr.Hilty was very knowledgeable about family law and was able to guide me through the process. I felt he always "had my back". What I learned was that the reasons for the divorce and my marital problems had little or nothing to do with the law. He gave me invaluable legal advice and provided a listening ear when I needed to talk or share my concerns. The opposing lawyer may have been well qualified, but was unnecessarily mean-spirited. Mr. Blake was always professional, well-prepared and considerate of both sides. Blake was always available to me in a timely manner. He or his support staff were responsive to my communications and provided me with accurate and detailed accounts of my charges. I felt he understood my financial situation and did his best to keep our agreed upon budget. Perhaps more importantly,
he is a proud dog owner, as am I.

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!!!

Unfortunately, I have been involved in a 5 year divorce and Blake was my 4th Attorney. I can unequivocally say that he was the best that represented me. Trust is important and you only have to meet Blake to know that he is trustworthy as well as professional. Clients will not go wrong with Blake at your side!

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.
