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

Hired for over a year and did nothing with the case

When we first met Mandi she talked a big game and had a fun personality, I thought she'd be a great fit as our lawyer but after paying the large retainer fee she went on many vacations, sick leaves, and never responded back to emails or messages and then blamed it on the staff. After over a year of h...aving her as a lawyer, literally nothing was done. I could have done much more on my own and without paying a ridiculous price for it. I really do not recommend her as I felt cheated out of my money and time and did not appreciate the lies and lack of communication as well as literally no improvements or anything done or even filed with the courts after a year of paid services. I recommend taking your time to speak with different lawyers and look into them since you need someone who can do more than just talk a big game no matter how great they make it seem.

Bad Communication

Now the statement “highly annoyed” would be an understatement. I contacted Mandi back in 2018 for help. We had a consultation, I paid my 100.00. Afterward, I was not able to get in contact with her. I sent multiple emails, left multiple voicemails and I was never contacted back. I gave up and hired s...omeone else ultimately. Now this year rolls around, and I reach out to her, again. I spoke to her directly and even told her about the issues with communication from 2018. She said okay, apologized and gave me a discount on my consultation fee for this new matter. Her assistant scheduled my consult for 06/17/2022 at 9:00 AM. She advised me I would receive email correspondence to confirm this and etc. Here I am on 06/17/22 at 10:51 AM eastern time, and I have not been contacted. Furthermore I never received any type of email confirmation. At this point, it’s just disheartening and disrespectful. I am a soon to be law student and I don’t picture myself being a bad communicator like the above mentioned. If your case load is too heavy, don’t agree to meet with individuals.

Soldier’s attorney

Ms. McDonough has been an amazing lawyer. As a Soldier I couldn’t ask for a better person. Ms. McDonough understands military training and other things regarding military. She works with you when you can talk to her and fights for you. Also as a father, it can be difficult for you to get to see your ...children but she is a pit Bull and will fight every inch. I could not have had a better attorney!! She fought for me and my children until I got the outcome that was needed. She is a non-stop fighter, easy to talk to, and always made me feel that my case was important, even though she has many other cases. I have gotten calls and emails late at night (and even on some weekends) when other attorneys wouldn\'t even think about their clients. There are not enough words to say how grateful I am for her and the team.
