Professional, dedicated advocate

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 man...dated 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 efficient and effective.

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 n...ever 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.

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.
