I'd be giving 100 stars if Avvo let me. Crystal and the team at McDonough Law are seriously the best. We're a newer business and are headed into our third year, and I'm convinced that their guidance has a huge part to play in our success. Not only are they extremely responsive and make you feel like you're the most important thing happening when you're speaking to any of their team, but they give guidance and suggestions freely and also 100% respect and support any decisions we make. We've personally worked with Crystal several times, as well as Tristan Younghaus, and they have exceeded our expectations every single time. These days it's extremely difficult to find businesses that genuinely care and deliver every single time, and this team is a perfect example of how to do both of those things right. As long as we're in business, we'll be working with McDonough Law!

We came into this thing completely blind. You guys were thorough, on top of it and made it easy even through all the legal jargon. We truly appreciate you and the services you have provided all 17 of the heirs in this long process!

The service that Crystal provided for my legal issue was beyond exceptional and life changing. I can not express enough the outstanding, very highly professional quality and ethical services I received from McDonough law. I could never have made it through the legal experience I went through without the outstanding assistance and counseling of Crystal and her associates! Any future legal issues I may encounter I hope and pray that I have McDonough law in my corner. I am indelibly grateful for all your outstanding assistance and services. If you are looking for legal assistance that stands out above the ordinary with beyond exceptional service, standards and quality, I would refer you to contact McDonough law in a heart beat! Thankyou Crystal for all you have done and the positive changes you have assisted me with legally, I could not have done it with you and your associates!!!!!

Inherited some oil leases from an estate. McDonough Law went over all leases and brought them up to date with current names. It was not an easy task as there were several years that had to be corrected. Was very happy with her and would highly recommend there services.

Working with Crystal and her team at McDonough Law was a dream come true! She made setting up our business a breeze and helped us set it up for scalability. On top of that, she's saved us thousands along the way with her consulting. We love working with her team and I'm thrilled to be able to write this review. Can't recommend more!

I was in a pinch and needed some documentation quickly. Just a small job. I called McDonough Law, and they took care of me right away. They treated me as if I was an important client, (even though I'm sure they have bigger clients.) The documentation was spot-on. The price was fair, not overpriced. Crystal was courteous, professional, easy to talk to, and provided good counsel. The online process was simple, streamlined, and payment was a breeze. They are fantastic at what they do!
