Mark and his team were unrelenting in their commitment to our case. Mark's investment in the successful resolution of our very difficult case was remarkable. Mark is an excellent listener, is patient, collaboratively strategizes, communicates well, and assembled all of the pieces of the complicated puzzle until the clear picture was presented to the court. Our lengthy, dramatic case was won because Mark and his team work brilliantly with each other and their clients. I would highly recommend Mark Arend, he truly cares.
Mark knows the ins and outs of family law and divorce more than most. He got me everything I was looking for in my case. Most importantly he protected my child through the whole process. He is a professional that takes pride in helping his clients through difficult situations.
We needed to redo a parenting plan that was originally drawn up in another state that no longer worked. The issues that we had to address were tough and Mark was a constant support - giving us good advice and not sugar coating the realities of our case. If we ever need legal work like this again we will use him.
Mark was there every step of the way in a very contentious divorce. He was very knowledgeable with the intricacies of my case and continues to be a resource to me even after the conclusion of trial.
I hired Mr. Arend to represent me in a child custody and child support case against my former spouse. My case was complex and somewhat unusual, and I was grateful to work with someone with his level of experience. From start to finish, Mark was responsive (always promptly responding to my calls and emails), knowledgeable, professional, and trustworthy. He did a fantastic job negotiating with opposing counsel, and he obtained the result I was hoping for. As an active duty service member, I greatly appreciated the fact that Mark is a military veteran; he knows from personal experience what military life is like, and has full grasp on military implications in child custody and divorce cases. Mark epitomizes what I believe a trusted advisor should be, and I give him my highest recommendation.
Very informative and answered my question with detail. I appreciated the fast response.
Mark Arend and his team were amazing. My case was incredibly complicated and Mark handled it with grace. He worked tirelessly for more than 2 years to help me keep my child safe. He was always available to answer my questions and to ease my mind during the most stressful times.
I would highly recommend Mark and Candice-not only did they walk me through every step they did it with encouragement and support of my feelings and thoughts. They truly listened to me and we were able to come out on top with a favorable victory. Thank you so much
After two years of an intensive custody battle exacerbated by domestic violence, I was desperate for closure yet resistant to surrender. When I met with Mark, I felt validated while being treated with dignity and respect. Not wanting me to give up, Mark rallied like a sergeant. He offered his knowledge of the law as a shield of protection against the litigious attacks. Relying on his strategic counsel, I felt prepared to press on. I am ever grateful to Mark for reminding me that when the battle is for the best interest of our children, there is no sacrifice too great.
I would describe Attorney Mark Arend and his amazing legal team--to include LLLC Christy Carpenter, as "Extremely Professional." Mark not only provided excellent legal advice, but also the personal support and compassion needed during my very difficult and drawn-out divorce. With Mark acting as my legal counsel, my stress-level was immediately reduced and I felt confident my future was in trusted hands. I would rate Mark and his team's professionalism and accessibility as a 10+. As Mark guided me through this emotionally-charged experience, he was also aware of and respected my financial situation, which I truly appreciated. When Mark was recommended to me by a family member, I had no idea I would also get a loyal friend, an amazing listener and counselor. If you are in need of a family law attorney, I would highly recommend Mark Arend and Christy Carpenter at McKinley Irvin in Tacoma, WA.

I would rate Mark and his team's professionalism and accessibility as a 10+. As Mark guided me through this emotionally-charged experience, he was also aware of and respected my financial situation, which I truly appreciated. When Mark was recommended to me by a family member, I had no idea I would also get a loyal friend, an amazing listener and counselor. If you are in need of a family law attorney, I would highly recommend Mark Arend and Christy Carpenter at McKinley Irvin in Tacoma, WA.
Mark and his team were unrelenting in their commitment to our case. Mark's investment in the successful resolution of our very difficult case was remarkable. Mark is an excellent listener, is patient, collaboratively strategizes, communicates well, and assembled all of the pieces of the complicated puzzle until the clear picture was presented to the court. Our lengthy, dramatic case was won because Mark and his team work brilliantly with each other and their clients. I would highly recommend Mark Arend, he truly cares.
Mark knows the ins and outs of family law and divorce more than most. He got me everything I was looking for in my case. Most importantly he protected my child through the whole process. He is a professional that takes pride in helping his clients through difficult situations.
We needed to redo a parenting plan that was originally drawn up in another state that no longer worked. The issues that we had to address were tough and Mark was a constant support - giving us good advice and not sugar coating the realities of our case. If we ever need legal work like this again we will use him.
Mark was there every step of the way in a very contentious divorce. He was very knowledgeable with the intricacies of my case and continues to be a resource to me even after the conclusion of trial.
I hired Mr. Arend to represent me in a child custody and child support case against my former spouse. My case was complex and somewhat unusual, and I was grateful to work with someone with his level of experience. From start to finish, Mark was responsive (always promptly responding to my calls and emails), knowledgeable, professional, and trustworthy. He did a fantastic job negotiating with opposing counsel, and he obtained the result I was hoping for. As an active duty service member, I greatly appreciated the fact that Mark is a military veteran; he knows from personal experience what military life is like, and has full grasp on military implications in child custody and divorce cases. Mark epitomizes what I believe a trusted advisor should be, and I give him my highest recommendation.
Very informative and answered my question with detail. I appreciated the fast response.
Mark Arend and his team were amazing. My case was incredibly complicated and Mark handled it with grace. He worked tirelessly for more than 2 years to help me keep my child safe. He was always available to answer my questions and to ease my mind during the most stressful times.
I would highly recommend Mark and Candice-not only did they walk me through every step they did it with encouragement and support of my feelings and thoughts. They truly listened to me and we were able to come out on top with a favorable victory. Thank you so much
After two years of an intensive custody battle exacerbated by domestic violence, I was desperate for closure yet resistant to surrender. When I met with Mark, I felt validated while being treated with dignity and respect. Not wanting me to give up, Mark rallied like a sergeant. He offered his knowledge of the law as a shield of protection against the litigious attacks. Relying on his strategic counsel, I felt prepared to press on. I am ever grateful to Mark for reminding me that when the battle is for the best interest of our children, there is no sacrifice too great.
I would describe Attorney Mark Arend and his amazing legal team--to include LLLC Christy Carpenter, as "Extremely Professional." Mark not only provided excellent legal advice, but also the personal support and compassion needed during my very difficult and drawn-out divorce. With Mark acting as my legal counsel, my stress-level was immediately reduced and I felt confident my future was in trusted hands.
