Best military lawyer

I was recommended to use Ms McDonough from another solider in my unit. She is very knowledgeable and compassionate towards the military and has first hand knowledge of what military families go through. Ms McDonough has been very timely in her responses, even when sick and visiting the hospital for t...reatments, patient with all of my questions as I have never been through a divorce before. She has just been amazing and there are not enough totes to explain how grateful I am to have been recommended to such an outstanding woman.

Amazing Attorney! Negative Reviews FALSE

Attorney Mandi McDonough was an absolute answer to prayer. Despite working from home during the pandemic and like most of us who had to juggle our jobs and our children who were home from school; she was juggling her elementary aged son and her newborn daughter who was born during the pandemic all wh...ile tirelessly working hard on my case fir my family. I found her to be compassionate, timely, encouraging, strategic and very knowledgeable. The first court date she outlined my case perfectly and held my now ex husband accountable for everything he had done. I was awarded custody, child support, generous alimony and attorneys fees from the Judge. Later I found out from my ex that his lawyer charged him $2,000 extra retainer up front because of the fight he knew he had being up against my lawyer. I can see why, she is very strategic, honest and knows the law. I needed a lot of hand holding and needed a lot of explanations throughout the process and she was always generous with her time. I read a lot of reviews before I hired her and there were a few negative that concerned me but way more positive. The negative ones I read were NOT my experience at all. My experience was excellent and professional from beginning to end. After working with Mandi for over a year on my case and getting consistent communication and professionalism, I think those few negative reviews were from angry people on the other side like my ex who she destroyed in court and not from real clients of Attorney McDonough. I would recommend her 100 times! She helped me through the worst period in my life with kindness, empathy and brilliant legal strategy.

Parental Equality

When I first met Mrs. McDonough I was drawn to her tenacity, dedication, and commitment to seeing my case through. She was able to get me to see my daughters face again and I am so very thankful for her help and everything she'd done for me. If you or someone you know needs a really reputable divorce... and separation/child custody/family lawyer I can more than assure you Mandi McDonough is the best possible choice for whatever your case may be. I do not regret one moment selecting her as my attorney and should anything situational happen again I won't hesitate to hire her again for her excellent service.

An attorney like no other

I was married 29 years to a man who cheated on me. I stayed with him because I didn't believe in divorce. I was referred to attorney McDonough by a friend. I was scared, uncertain, hurt and depressed. God used Mandi to listen to me as I cried my eyes out. Mandy comforted me and then she built me up a...nd reassure me she was going to work relentlessly to ensure I was taken care of. Mandy went above and beyond what I ever thought possible. Mandi McDonough is a tiny frame lady and a bulldog in the courtroom. I highly recommend this attorney and I'm forever grateful God lead me to her office. Mandy THANK YOU . I'll NEVER forget. God bless.

Best Lawyer around

I have been working on getting a divorce for awhile now. In fact the divorce lasted longer then the marriage. The first lawyer I hired asked me how much I wanted to pay my ex to go away. Really!!!! After dealing with that lawyer for awhile and realizing nothing was going to happen, I found Mandi. She... was awesome!! The other party would keep putting meditation off because my ex wanted to keep using my insurance. Keep in mind we have no kids and no property together. Mrs McDonough was relentless in getting us to meditation. Once at meditation everything was agreed upon and signed. Well right after that my ex fired her lawyer got a new one and said that she was forced to sign at meditation. Finally we get to court and Mrs McDonough wasted no time in telling the judge what had happened at meditation and that no one was forced, and if that was the case that’s something my ex needs to take up with her lawyer not me. I got everything I asked for and never had any doubt that Mrs McDonough would not delivery like she said. The best divorce lawyer in the Columbus area!!!
