ABOUT US

Our practice is focused in the three areas of law that we have spent the last seven years specializing in: Family Law, Succession and Estate Planning. That is what we do best, and where we believe we can better serve our clients and local communities.

 

Here at McIlwain Law Firm, we are not afraid to fight for you in Court, but we also believe there are alternatives on the horizon for anyone needing a local attorney, who aren’t necessarily looking for a lengthy and expensive litigation. We strive to provide our clients with options in obtaining their ultimate goals, which often entails thinking outside the box, exploring amicable agreements and/or tailoring custody plans and Judgments to fit each person's unique circumstances and family dynamics.

 

Our Family Law practice is focused on resolving issues quickly, but also finding the best options to mitigate stress and protect your peace of mind. Whether you’re in need of a divorce lawyer or custody lawyer, McIlwain Law is well equipped to handle your case. We also cater to individuals needing help with Grandparents Rights, Adoption, obtaining a Provisional Mandate of Custody or amicably transferring custody to a family member or third party.

 

Furthermore, we are well versed in Community Property Partitions and Successions, where we work closely with our clients to identify assets and debts, values of the same, and plan/negotiate the best ways to liquidate and/or divide any Community or Estate Property on behalf of our clients. We work hard to ensure our clients receive the fair share, while minimizing the liability risk.

We also firmly believe it is never too late to plan for the future. A Last Will and Testament, Power of Attorney, Medical Power of Attorney (Living Will) or even the creation of a Trust for your loved ones at the right time could save your family the headache of determining how to handle your Estate and help when you are in most need of it.

 

The McIlwain Law Firm team is deeply committed to our clients, which is what ultimately sets us apart from most law firms. With the help of our innovative software and our valuable human talent, we provide continued communication with our clients, so they are informed every step of the way regarding the current status of their cases and have easy access to the documents filed on their behalf and/or received from opposing parties. This open channel of communication helps clients feel less anxious and be better prepared before, during and after Court.

 

At McIlwain Law Firm, we value your trust and will continue to work hard to reach your legal goals in the most expedite and affordable way possible.
