Mr. Dustin McCrary helped with a separation that was becoming very difficult. I went to Dustin to meet him; my first impression of him was that he was a used car salesman. His last words, “So, are you ready to sign up today?” At the time, I didn’t feel comfortable, so I left to pursue other options f...or attorneys, and I’ll say you get what you pay for. I discovered my husband went to 6 really good attorneys where we live, forcing me not to get the attorney I wanted. After a month of searching, I ended up back at Dustin’s office, and when I spoke with him, I stated that I wanted him to fight for me. He replied that he “doesn’t fight for anyone,” and he’s not that kind of attorney. It was a figure of speech, I told him. I wanted to get up and walk away, but he was my only option. The reviews painted a perfect picture of Mr. McCrary, but I found this to be the complete opposite in my case. During this meeting, attorneys don’t care to hear everything and charge by the hour. Remember, it’s YOUR time and YOUR money supposedly going to be of good use, with, in my case, Dustin handling my separation. You don’t have time to go into every single detail and the abuse/berating/financial struggles you have to endure from your husband, Dustin didn’t care to hear about. Dustin and I spoke at length during this meeting, during which I paid my retainer and signed his contract. I provided detailed papers of what I requested him to negotiate for in the separation. He returned and asked what my “wish list” was for the separation. Did he hear what I just said before he asked? This question crossed my mind, and apparently not. I told Dustin, “Everything was in the papers,” I just blurted out the top few items in the papers and again said, “Please read the papers; it’s all there” that I had provided him. He brushed it over like it wasn’t going to be any big deal for him as Dustin made it clear that he had worked with the opposing counsel hired by my husband (which my husband paid for with my credit card he had stolen, and I told Dustin about but to get no response to show he could care less…) Dustin had worked with the opposing counsel on several prior occasions. We would have this all wrapped up by the end of the week. After our meeting, I had a sinking feeling this wouldn’t go well. To be clear on my expectations, I emailed Dustin when I got home exactly what I had asked for in the separation, and I later discovered he didn’t read anything. Later in the week, just as Dustin stated, he called to tell me know what he was able to negotiate on my behalf and he got me the house, the husband will vacate once you sign and blah, blah, blah… Dustin negotiated ONLY the few items I blurted out, and he clearly didn’t read anything I gave/sent him, nor did he listen to me. I first thought that Dustin needed things in bullet points with minimal detail, or he wouldn’t pay attention to them. Again, it’s MY time and MY money for HIM to do what I requested, and none of that has been done thus far. He’s wasted both. I feel the need to explain a few things so that everyone gets the full understanding, unlike Mr. McCrary. My husband was a drunk, and he made my life a living h*ll. He would call to curse me out for leaving him (typical narcissist behavior). On this one of many occasions, I could hear that he was driving the truck (that’s in my name). He’s already wrecked the truck twice, and I’m liable. He kept calling, cursing me out, and I could hear that he was still in the truck, which scared me he was driving like this. I was furious that he could hurt or kill someone. I was worried, so I got up the next morning, went to the house, and entered the house with my key. To keep this as short as possible, my husband is a habitual liar and doesn’t like it when I call him out. I recorded the calls from the night before and we’ll say it led to an altercation. In short, I left with bruises on my arms and a busted lip, and I drove off with my truck. This wasn’t planned by any

Going through any court experience is hard and when it comes to a custody hearing involving your children, to me, that is the hardest situation to go through. The very first time I had gone to court I was so terrified & could not keep myself from being emotional, to the point I asked for it to be dis...missed before it started because I just wanted to go home and hold my babies. If you are a parent whose children are your heart and you need a lawyer for your case, run to Dustin. He listened to me and I felt he genuinely cared about the outcome of mine and my children’s future, he responds to emails and texts so quickly, his paralegal Heather is an angel & quickly became an ear to listen to my concerns and fears and she is always so very kind to me, she always answers emails and phone calls and she talked to me as long as I needed her to just so I’d feel okay again. Dustin represented me in a way that you pray you’ll be represented in any court. When I had to testify Dustin was right there with me throughout it all, calming me down and telling me that I was okay and giving me words of encouragement when I had to read some of the painful things involved in my case. I couldn’t sleep the week before court, but if I would have known how amazing of a lawyer Dustin is and how hard he will fight for you, I wouldn’t have been nervous at all. I will recommend Dustin to everyone. As someone that doesn’t trust easily, I can assure you, you can trust Dustin, you can feel confident that he is great at what he does and sleep peacefully up until the court date no matter what it’s pertaining to because if you have Dustin as your lawyer, your case is being handled by the best and safest person it could be. I will always be so grateful for having met Dustin and his staff and if he is your lawyer, you will too!

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.

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.
