Did such a great job!

Ms. Crystal was SUCH a great attorney. She was very patient in listening to my problems on a complicated case involving a divorce, child custody, domestic violence, and a cross-country ex. She knew exactly what to do and has a smart approach. She gave great advice. Turns out she's always right. I can...'t say enough about how much Ms. Crystal helped me in keeping my family together. THANK YOU, MS CRYSTAL!

Great!

Crystal was awesome. She was patient and kind on first phone call. She worked late hours on my case even when it went weeks over what we thought it would take. I got everything I wanted ... prob a couple extras. I think the other attorney was like WOW! Crystal (who seems super nice) really plays ...hard ball!. LOL. Then again ... my ex- deserves that so ... get Crsytal!

Crystal is amazing!!

This is long overdue (sorry!). I can't say enough about Crystal! Crystal worked so hard to go above and beyond for me and my family -- long and late hours in the office and watching her in court was like watching a movie! Long story short: I had an awful attorney who let my ex get away with just... about everything (custody, support, lies in court, etc.). I came to Crystal and she put a stop to all of it and spent months working to get me back everything I asked her for. And a lot more: my reputation!! I wish I'd found her to start. She is caring and smart. I recommend her for anyone. Thank you, Crystal Phenny!!

By far the best lawyer I've dealt with

I hired Crystal Phenny almost a year ago. Crystal was accessible, super responsive and very knowledgeable. Crystal is full of integrity and overall great to work with during a very difficult time. Her assistant Terri is a great help too and so very pleasant. Overall I just can't say enough good t...hings about Crystal, watching and listening to her in court is a great and calming experience. Watching her in action is awesome, she is so nice and composed, yet so so dominate at the table. Her confidence, attitude and knowledge shine through and she clearly stands above all the other attorneys I've ever seen in court.

Couldn't ask for a better Attorney!

A couple of years ago I found myself propelled into a very ugly custody dispute, I was terrified! A friend suggested I contact Crystal Phenny & within my first phone call with her I knew she was the real deal. Crystal is so kind & she knows her stuff! She knows that these situations are hard & emotio...nally taxing, she isn't calloused to that. Her knowledge is extensive and such a comfort! Crystal is cool, calm & collected in all conversations but once she's in the court room (i.e the ring) she is a calculated, take-down champion! Let me also add, one thing I've noticed & greatly admire about Crystal is how professional she is. In the last two years I've spent more time at a court house than I would ever have wanted to & I've seen a lot of attorneys being really nasty to one another, very caddy, nasty & tactless. Crystal is poised, she doesn't get riled up and make a fool of herself or her client. Her skills are absolutely impressive! I seriously can't reccomend her enough! 2 years into this case & we're still coming out on top & I'm still so grateful that I found her!!
