Navigating family law matters requires a firm that not only understands the legal landscape but also appreciates the emotional sensitivity of your situation. At The Irving Law Firm, we blend our deep legal knowledge with a genuine compassion for each client's unique circumstances. Here’s why you can trust us with your family’s legal matters:
Our attorneys will represent you in a wide variety of family law matters.
I was referred to The Irving Law Firm, Rebecca Thatcher specifically, by a coworker and was not disappointed. I don't know anyone who knows what they are doing going into a divorce. I knew I didn't even know what I didn't know. Rebecca was very kind and understanding. She walked me through the divorce process, taking her time to explain everything. She was professional, compassionate, and personable so that in the end I felt like I had a friend to help me through this rough period. I would highly recommend Ms. Thatcher and The Irving Law Firm to anyone even considering divorce. I mostly dealt with Rebecca but my few interactions with others at the firm were also positive.
Angela Morehouse at the Irving Law Firm represented me in my divorce and for the guardianship/conservatorship of my mother. Her and her paralegal are not only professional but thorough in their representation. I always felt that she had my best interests at heart and could count on her and the firm during my most difficult times. I would highly recommend Angela and the firm and wouldn't hesitate to retain them in the future if the need arises.
Cannot express enough appreciation and gratitude of this firm. Rebecca Thacher has been my attorney for a few years now and I could not ask for a better person to handle my family/custody case. I started my journey with a different firm but was extremely unhappy and soon found The Irving Law Firm to take over. I can honestly say if Rebecca ever leaves this firm, I will follow her wherever she goes. She will go above and beyond for you and truly makes your feel like you are her only client.
I retained Rebecca Thatcher to represent me in an ugly custody dispute. I interviewed five different attorneys and Rebecca was the only one that dissected the case for me, identified all the challenges and then explained what her strategy would be if I hired her. Based off that initial great consult, outside recommendations, her previous successes, and the fact that she was a seasoned trial attorney; it was an easy decision. She was the attorney I wanted to fight for me to keep my son. Amazingly she exceeded my already very high expectations. She kept me informed, was quick to return emails, and prepared thoroughly for battle. In court she was well prepared and executed flawlessly. Being a trial attorney myself, I was amazed at how quickly and thoroughly she brought out the discrepancies and broke through the façade of the opposing party’s case. The result could not have been better for my son. Rebecca is a quintessential advisor and advocate. I give her my strongest recommendation.
Angela Morehouse is a very intelligent, compassionate and consciousness lawyer. She led me through a very challenging custody case and with her expertise we achieved an amazing outcome.
Rebecca Thacher helped me with my separation and divorce. She was very supportive and helped me to understand what was best for me and understand the law.
I never got divorced before but Rebecca Thacher Absolutely exceeded my expectations couldn't ask for a better outcome I highly recommend.
My husband and I recently hired Mark Branca with the Irving law firm for a family member .We all were pleased with his representation. Mark is very knowledgeable, experienced, and an all around good person. We would not hesitate to recommend him.
It was an amazing job done by Irving Law Firm. My case was so convoluted that most lawyers I had consulted were unsure where to begin. However both Taylor and Rachel did such an amazing job, established the right way to begin and handle each case as it arises and helped me see it through to the end. I truly felt supported at every moment and to know that I could refer any questions back to such capable hands and receive such quick responses was such a stress reliever. This law firm made me feel heard and it made me feel supported. I would recommend this firm to anyone who is tired of the confusing world of law and is just looking for a way to navigate it.
John Irving and the rest of the team at Irving Law Firm have provided exceptional service for all of my needs on multiple occasions. I would not recommend anyone else. They take the time to explain what will happen, keep you updated, and make sure to provide the best possible help they can. Thanks for the comfort of having a great law firm to lean on!
John and The Irving Law Firm handled our case with the utmost professionalism and dignity. We are grateful for John’s knowledge and his great reputation in the area.

Mark is an outstanding lawyer. He has been nothing but respectful and professional since the day I have met him. He genuinely wants his clients to succeed and cares for their future. I Would definitely recommend him in the future to anybody who’s looking for a lawyer.
