Do Not Hire!

My son hired and paid Mandi to take care of some legal matters back in April 2022. Here it is March 2023. Unfortunately, she took the money and ran. My son never has met her, I'm not sure if she has an office. He has asked for the return of his money but, after leaving several calls and sending ...emails, she still hasn't contacted him. My son cleaned out his saving to hire Mandi. Shame on her!!! Please read some of her other reviews.

Excellent Lawyer

I contacted Mandi at the beginning of 2022. We sat down together for a consultation, and from the beginning I could tell she was the attorney for the job. She was professional, courteous, and caring. She ensure my case would be settled in a timely manner, and I could tell she cared about me during th...e entire process.

I have lost $6000

I hired her over 2 years ago. I have not been in court not even once. She does not return phone calls and halfway texts back if she does not block you. Currently I am blocked. She threatened to file charges against me when i demanded my money back. There is no office to go to. There is no office staf...f to speak with. I know I am covered in Jesus name and no good comes to someone who does others harm, financially, health wise or any other way. I know more about her personal health issues then i do about my case. Do not waste your time and more importantly your money. I have literally begged her to help me because I don’t have $6000 to give away. I have been requested a copy of my retainer agreement for over a year. I have not gotten it yet nor have a gotten a court date. My son is asking me everyday when can he come home to his mother and because of this woman, I have nothing to tell him.

worst lawyer

Mandi is extremely unprofessional and will NOT do the work she originally states. She was so energetic during the consultation but anything after that was complete radio silence unless I contacted her everyday, via phone, text, call, email, EVERYTHING. When she did respond it was questioning me on in...formation I had previously provided to her multiple times. Save your money, time and save yourself the stress… DO NOT HIRE MANDI

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.
