Consultation follow up

Mr. McCrary is very responsive and takes the time to carefully review the process and set expectations. While I ultimately engaged another attorney, Mr. McCrary contacted me to endorse their skills and asked me to keep him in the loop on my hearing. Exceptional follow up.

Proceed with Caution

Working with Dustin McCrary has been one of the worst experiences. He would say one thing one month and then go back on it and say something different the next month - multiple times. He did not answer emails, phone calls, or texts. I had SOOOOO many questions during the custody and divorce process... that simply never got answered. Maybe he deemed them not worth his time THAT I PAID FOR, but, as a layperson, I don't know the law and that's why I hired him. Here's the kicker of the whole experience, it took me calling a third party to understand what was happening because he couldn't take the time to explain to me so that I understood. He was was rude, condescending, uncompassionate, and showed zero empathy. When everything was all said and done, I didn't even get a phone call thanking me for my business or congratulating me that the process was over. That is poor business practice. I highly suggest you speak with a few different lawyers before choosing this one and overpaying a retainer that you won't get back the unused portions of. I called around after the fact, my mistake, and other retainers were thousands less than his. His retainer was a very sizable amount that I used a fraction of. Money NOT well spent for poor service for such a personal matter.

Corey, Thank you for taking the time to write this review of me on Yelp, AVVO and Google. I am very sorry to know that you weren’t pleased with my services. I realize the time zones between the east coast and the west coast can be problematic when scheduling telephone appointments, which is why I made sure to accommodate your work schedule to speak with you after normal business hours. If you would please email me or call me to address what aspect of your case did not result in your desired goal, I would sincerely appreciate that. I am confident that we accomplished all your goals and did so in a timely manner. I look forward to hearing from you. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving. Thank you, Dustin

Visitation

My experience with Mr. McCrary was anything but successful If I would have continued listening to Mr. Mcrary I would have no control over my child visitation. At the consultation he told me I had a great chance . And it became very clear during my experience Mr McCrary was inexperienced with my ... situation . When I discontinue his service Mr. McMcCrary then inform me that he has a non -refund clause found under Method of Payment (iii) so I was not able to get the 3,600.00 back that was not use.I tried to get Mr McCrary to give aleast some of my money back but he refused. From this I learn .Good lawyer don’t use this method

Rickey, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of me. I am very sorry to hear that you weren't pleased with my legal advice. I sincerely try to give the very best legal advice that I can to each and every person that I represent. I am confident I did that for you. And while it has been almost 18 months since we last spoke, I am sure that I have never advised any client to do anything that would leave that person in no control over their visitation with their child. If you wanted to hire different counsel to represent you, I completely respect your decision to do that. You have to be comfortable and confident in the decisions you make with your attorney as you make these life changing decisions. As far as the fee agreement, I have used the same fee agreement for going on eight years. The fee agreement clearly states on page 1, in the third paragraph, in italics - and is the only thing in italics in the entire fee agreement - that the fee paid is a non-refundable fee agreement to hire me. The fee agreement also has a paragraph that has to be signed stating that the person understands the entirety of the fee agreement. I wish you would have asked if you didn't understand anything in the fee agreement or about my representation at the time you hired me. I had no reason to believe that you didn't understand the fee agreement since you did hire me to be your attorney. If you'd like to discuss this further, please call my office at 704.380.0456 or email me at dustin@mccrarylaw.com. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you, Dustin

Excellent and Caring Attorney

Dustin McCreay cares about his clients. He is not only an amazing lawyer but a good-hearted man. In our desperate time of need he was there for us. He stayed at his office and meet with us after his office hours had closed. We meet with Dustin several times after hours, due to our work schedules. ...My daughter’s situation was very unfair to her and we had no experience with legal matters. Dustin took her and us her parents under his wing. I knew at Dustin’s first impression he was the man we needed for the job. His confidence, presents and the way he spoke with us, gave us reinsurance. Dustin not only spoke to my daughter about her custody situation but he spoke with me. With my daughter being his client and her confidentiality, Dustin still had time to speak to me privately. He insured me that he would do everything he could get my grandson back to his mother and us. We trusted Dustin and he didn’t let us down. Dustin’s presents in the court room was superior and demanding. He believes in what he’s fighting for and goes after. Dustin is not only an outstanding lawyer is a genuine great person. He’s fair, approachable, easy to talk to and even humorous. I would recommend Dustin to represent anyone for any case they may have. Thank you again Dustin for everything you did for my daughter and for us.

Alleviated my stress

I got a speeding ticket right around Thanksgiving, but finding Dustin by reading his other reviews here made me feel confident that he'd be able to handle it. I was able to relax and enjoy the holiday! When we connected the following Monday, he exceeded my expectations. He's so prompt, thoughtful..., and personable answering all of my questions. He really took the stress out of the situation and I can not recommend him enough if you similarly find yourself ticketed. Go Tar Heels!
