Crystal Michele Boultinghouse

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 inter...esting 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 fam...ily 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!!!

Ms Boultinghouse represented me in what can only be described as a high conflict custody matter. As a single man I was pursuing sole legal and sole physical custody of my daughter. She was 10 years old at the time the process started. Ms Boultinghouse was a God-send. Her intellect, wit and skill is s...o disproportionate to her age it is frightening. She is truly committed to the best interests of children and I can only hope that she will continue to practice Family Law. Our matter is resolved. My daughter has been living with me since Feb 5 2010 (thank you Ms Boultinghouse!). But I know there must be many other parents (mothers & fathers) facing the stress and fear of trying to ensure their children are cared for and I can only say that if you (as a parent) find yourself needing an attorney to help you protect your child then please seek out Crystal Boultinghouse. I told her twice (Feb 2010 and Feb 2011) that she is my hero. I will say it again....Ms Boultinghouse...you are my hero.

Crystal Boultinghouse is a great attorney who really cares and knows how to be aggressive when needed. She is compassionate, intelligent and understanding. She has a excellent team working with her. Her paralegal Karen is also compassionate and efficient, and her assistant Samantha is a pleasure and ...kept us up to date and well informed with details that didnt require Ms. Boultinghouse. She is part of a great law firm; Kelly, Fernandez & Karney. Mr. Kelly spent over 2 hours with my son on his intital free consultaion before assigning his case to the right attorney. My son who is young had a child out of wedlock and hired Crystal Boultinghouse to help him with custody arrangements with his baby son. The mother was being difficult and not allowing him to see his son and there were reasons to beleive that the baby could be in danger and in an unsafe living environment. Even though it was highly emotional, the case went relatively quickly and swift with a successful result for both our son and his baby boy. We are so thankful to Kelly Fernandez and Kareny Law Firm and especially thankful to Crystal Boultinghouse. We recommend her and the firm highly for those that need assistance with child custody matters. Sincerely, The Can 2 Family

Before meeting Crystal, I met with several lawyers in Los Angles. Crystal is by far the most intelligent, compassionate and committed attorney I met. She is very straight forward and never made false promises to keep my business. I have a young child and had many fears about custody and financial sup...port from my ex. Crystal held my hand through the entire process and reassured me when things got tough. I felt so protected and I know I would not have had the same outcome with another attorney. She is also a mother herself and understands the importance of mother-child bonding during formative years. Hands down Crystal Boultinghouse is one of the best family law attorneys in Los Angeles.
