QDRO

douglas is terrific. he took care of both of my QDROS which my former attorney should have handled. Their patience and expert knowledge of the situation made the situation a whole lot easier since I had a mess on my hands. I highly recommend him. FIVE STARS

Outstanding help resolving a QDRO

I had a very complex QDRO situation from my divorce of 17 years ago that Mr. McClintock helped get resolved. It was also complicated by my employer who is notoriously difficult to work with in these situations. Mr. McClintock was steadfast and committed to getting the QDRO resolved in a satisfactor...y manner. I greatly appreciate his professionalism and exceptional focus on satisfying his client.

Divorce/QDRO

Douglas McClintock handled my QDRO in a very efficient manner. My actual divorce was handled by another attorney who never even mentioned the need for a QDRO. Just after filing my divorce with the court, I learned that I needed a QDRO in order to apportion my 401k and that my original attorney di...d not handle QDROs . I found Mr McClintock via an internet search and spoke to him on the phone where he carefully explained the QDRO process to me. I found him to be quite knowledgeable about family law as well. I wishI had hired Douglas McClintock to handle the entire divorce as he was very professional and mindful of the cost to me.

High recommendation of Mr. McClintock for QDRO

Mr. McClintock was very knowledgable about my specific retirement and he sought after benefits that were rightfully mine. He was timely and efficient. He spent more time than anticipated on my case and I really appreciated that.
