Crystal Michele Boultinghouse

Crystal has the knowledge and resources to provide outstanding family law services. She is both professional and dedicated. I hired Crystal when my domestic violence and custody visitation case called for a highly experienced family law Attorney with extensive resources. At one point, my evidence mandated immediate attention, and Crystal brought her staff together and worked an entire Saturday; she was ready to file and proceed with an urgent motion on Monday. After 6 months of dedicated advocacy, I feel I made the best choice in choosing Crystal to represent me and my minor child. I highly recommend Crystal for cases that require depth of knowledge, attention to detail, and a responsive and caring attitude.

Crystal Boultinghouse is a very knowledgeable attorney. She is extremely professional in and out of court. After interviewing and considering highly recommended counsel, I chose Crystal to handle my very complex case. Crystal's diverse background in family law proved to be very helpful. Crystal was never intimidated by the layers upon layers brought on by audacious opposing counsel. Crystal is mindful of my budget and remains focused on the issues to get my case resolved, while opposing counsel is using our case to support his extended family, growing the case like a cancer. I would recommend Ms. Boultinghouse for all cases.

Crystal has gone to bat for me time and again over the last six years. She has defended me in legal battles that seemed too hard to overcome. Not only has she been successful in winning, but she has also treated me with decency and respect amidst even the most horrible of allegations. Crystal is a fair and levelheaded, yet under fire and pressure she becomes a Phoenix and flies over her opposition. I couldn’t recommend Crystal more as both a person and a professional. Hire her as your attorney if you want to overcome even the greatest of odds. Hire her to fight your fight with grace and care. Hire her to protect you, your kids and your families. I did and I couldn’t be happier.

Ms. Boultinghouse came with me for a day of settlement conferencing downtown last summer, protecting me from an extremely aggressive lawyer with logic and buffering as well as an acute knowledge of what was and wasn't possible to accomplish. She was logical effective, ethical, and even warm despite the difficult circumstances. She is easily the best lawyer I've seen operate in the last four years. She was so effective the opposite party tried to prevent her attendance, but failed.

I went to Fernandez & Karney Law firm and Crystal Boultinghouse was assigned to my case. Let me say I could not have been happier. She is not only very nice but professional, trustworthy and will fight for you. She listens to your concerns and keeps you informed on whats going on with your case. She stays clam in the court room and will get aggressive when needed. If your looking for a Lawyer that will always be in your corner looks no farther that Crystal Boultinghouse.

My case is a high cost, high conflict child custody case spanning multiple counties, involving false allegations and a restraining order trial. When I read OPC declarations I almost passed out, so did everyone that knows me. I have worked with some of the most famous lawyers in the United States. OPC and this particular court literally slaughtered every attorney in front of them. One attorney in particular was literally speechless after the first day of trial, she then quit, she too was an extremely prominent attorney. I have never written a bad review for anyone online and believe you me I could, in fact I don't write reviews. - I'm busy. Crystal called me back on a Saturday, from her cell, I was to the point of no longer being able to speak. -exhausted. Immediately upon entering Fernandez and Karney and for the first time since this nightmare began, I was treated like a human being and not a cash cow. Crystal Boultinghouse is an absolute legend in the court room, my case ended up in a county where other TOP Beverly Hills firms were either too proud or too scared to go, however, some of them taking large retainers and ultimately passing me off to retain the local council, in this particular county. Nobody wants to get hometowned, not to mention it is a most undesirable drive with not so lush accommodations. Anyway, since hiring Crystal Boultinghouse and Steven Fernandez, Kayley, Karen, Joe, Stacy, all of the staff at this firm, finally some truth and justice is coming to the surface. It's still hard, it's still heartbreaking, but Crystal Boultinghouse is down right psychologically gifted, fearless and calm. I am honored to have Crystal Boultinghouse as my attorney, my prayers were answered. I believe someone else here called her a hero, but it's just a gift, something that you either have or you don't, something that can't be taught. Crystal just has it and its awesome to watch, especially when you are telling THE TRUTH. I selfishly hope Crystal Boultinghouse does not become that massively famous name until my case is over, that said, dig deep and read about her, do some research, she is real a bad momma, with some remarkable cases under her belt, spanning all the way to Monico I believe. Or better yet, in the alternative, go watch her in court sometime, it's captivating. Onwards and upwards. Thanks you.

As a victim of domestic violence, I had lost all hope that my abuser would ever be brought to justice. With such a personal and sensitive matter, I didn't know who to trust. Crystal not only handled my case with the utmost professionalism and expertise, but was sensitive and encouraging through my emotional breakdowns. I stood silent for so long that my case seemed almost impossible to win. Crystal took on the case with such fierce dedication; tore down the opposing council; strategically caused my abuser to get tangled in his own lies; and won an incredible victory for all victims of domestic violence as my case brought state-wide attention to this issue and many state legislators are now speaking out against it. Crystal made that happen. She also restored my faith in the justice system.

I am a loving, caring, attentive single father who has done nothing but run towards his responsibilities. It is Ms. Boultinghouse hyper attention to detail, along with her cool, calm, collected demeanor, and tenacious pitbull mentality, that has allowed me to fight the good fight! Working as a team, Ms. Boultinghouse has kept me in the game and refused to let my efforts be marginalized in the least. I would highly recommend Ms. Boultinghouse to anyone who loves and cares for there children the way I do. I honestly do not know what I would have done without her in the last three years. She is my champion, she is my childrens champion! Thank you for all your hard work and relentless efforts. Mwr

Crystal is an excellent attorney and I give her my highest recommendation! She is sharp, professional, and attentive. Indeed, Crystal possesses qualities that set her apart from so many in her field. She is genuinely caring and compassionate, and exhibits integrity, class and poise. One interesting thing I learned about Crystal, is that while her wonderful staff is hard at work, drilling down into the minutia of my case, Crystal never misses a single detail. My favorite moment working with her thus far was watching Crystal conduct an evidentiary hearing, demonstrating her outstanding litigation skills while executing her strategy in the courtroom. There were moments that day in which I forgot the reason we were there, as I was overtaken by pride while watching my attorney be her very best, doing what she loves…protecting her clients! By far, divorce has been one of the most difficult and trying experiences of my life. I am sincerely grateful for Crystal's continued commitment to see my case through, while keeping my best interest at heart. Thank you Crystal!

I cannot speak highly enough of Ms Boultinghouse! She possesses qualities that are hard to find in nowadays. You can find many lawyers who have knowledge and impressive school and professional backgrounds. But I needed someone who could see beyond the retainer, the case number, and the California family codes. I needed someone who possessed compassion. Without it I knew my case won’t stand a chance in court. Ms Boultinghouse has all of the above and more! She took my case wholeheartedly and made me feel confident and at ease throughout the whole process. Her professionalism and assertiveness during the proceedings exceeded my expectations! She was sharp, knowledgeable, and yet very respectful towards the opposing party, which made the whole process more humane and less intense. I highly, highly recommend Ms. Boultinghouse to anyone! Here is a short background of my case: I am a single mom who was very overwhelmed with the process of child custody and child support. I was caught off guard when the father of my child filed court papers, 11 months after the initial judgment. Originally, I didn’t have proper legal representation. And as a result, I was taken advantage of. By the time I hired Ms Boultinghouse, I was already in a huge disadvantage. Shortly after she agreed on taking my difficult case, she was able to turn the things around. She was truly dedicated to helping me. And although, I was on a very strict budget and we had an extremely aggressive and experienced lawyer as an opposing counsel, she stayed confident and determined that we will get through the end of this together, and my son’s interest will be well protected. And so we did! Thank you Crystal!!!
