"I am beyond thankful for the entire team at McIlveen Family Law Firm. From start to finish, they have been incredibly dedicated, responsive, and patient throughout this lengthy process. Their professionalism and integrity have stood out every step of the way, and I’m so grateful I chose a firm that genuinely cares. A special thank you to Joshua Finney and Robert Dimitrov. Your expertise, guidance, and support helped me achieve everything I hoped for and even more within my child support and child custody case. You both made a difficult journey so much more manageable, and I truly felt heard and supported the entire time. If you're looking for a firm that operates with integrity, compassion, and results, I highly recommend McIlveen Family Law Firm. Thank you again for everything!"

"After the sale of our house, I started to see all the things he could have asked for example.: if we had to lower the price of the house who will take the lost? Should had been the person that was asking to sell the house to get the money, but not it was the other person, he could had save my husband about $33K but not he just let the other person lawyer call the shots NOT A GOOD SERVICES."
