Family Law Divorce and Separation

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. Sh...e 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.

We highly recommend Crystal Boultinghouse of Kelly Fernandez & Karney Law Firm for any child custody matter

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

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
