Domestic Violence Lawyer in Washington

Protecting Families in Seattle & the Surrounding Areas

When a child or adult is in imminent danger of domestic violence, the court can enter a protection order to secure his / her safekeeping. Such protection orders may prohibit the perpetrator from initiating contact with the threatened individual(s). Additionally, the perpetrator may not be allowed to come within a specific distance of the protected person(s).

Domestic Violence & Your Family Law Case

Sadly, many family law disputes involve domestic violence or threats of domestic violence. These acts may necessitate an order of protection. Our courts exercise a zero-tolerance rule for spousal and domestic violence, allowing victims to easily pursue the protection that they need. At McKinley Irvin, our seasoned team of legal advocates has the skill and professional experience to handle such cases. We have helped hundreds of clients throughout Washington to obtain the protection from domestic violence.

The terms of your personal protection order can vary depending on the unique circumstances surrounding your case.

With our vast legal knowledge and professional experience, we can adapt to the unique needs of your case. Having years of experience handling these cases, the attorneys at McKinley Irvin are prepared to help clients pursue the course of action that best suits their individual circumstances.

Client testimonials

    "I knew I had a great team looking out for my best interest."
    My daughter is the sunshine of my life. I felt despair and a sense of helplessness on the day I was served. On the first appointment day when I arrived at the office and sat down with my lawyer, I knew I had made the right decision. From the beginning of my case to conclusion, I knew I had a great team looking out for my best interest (and the best interest of my child). Thank you McKinley Irvin!
