I was married 29 years to a man who cheated on me. I stayed with him because I didn't believe in divorce. I was referred to attorney McDonough by a friend. I was scared, uncertain, hurt and depressed. God used Mandi to listen to me as I cried my eyes out. Mandy comforted me and then she built me up and reassure me she was going to work relentlessly to ensure I was taken care of. Mandy went above and beyond what I ever thought possible. Mandi McDonough is a tiny frame lady and a bulldog in the courtroom. I highly recommend this attorney and I'm forever grateful God lead me to her office. Mandy THANK YOU . I'll NEVER forget. God bless.

There aren't any words to describe this wonder, amazing, and brilliant woman! If you want a lawyer who will go above and beyond for you and your case....SHE'S THE RIGHT ONE! She's very thorough, prompt, and extremely intelligent! Thank you soooo much for everything you have done and still doing for us!!! We Love You! ~The Reynolds Family

Mandi has been my lawyer for the past almost 2 years and helped with multiple issues. I have and will continue to put faith in her and her expertise and I will continue recommending her to those seeking legal help.

Mandi is the most amazing family attorney out there. She is a beast in the courtroom and wins! I’m so happy she represented me and I would recommend her to anyone!!!

Mandi is one of the most knowledgeable attorneys you will ever encounter. She is very personable and puts you at ease from the very beginning. If you are honest and upfront with her, she will do the very best possible for you. She will always be in your corner and will reassure you when you need support. She's the VERY BEST!!

From the very minute
I walked into her office, she was and is knowledgeable and intelligent.
She is personable and non-judgemental.
She was straight foward and honest.
She directed me through the HARDEST time in my life.
All she asked of me was to be honest and trust her to do her job.
I did so and and she did her job, ABOVE AND BEYOND anything I asked of her.
You can do NO BETTER in hiring an attorney.

Multiple surprise reschedules. I had to request time off work and show up only to find out that she’s too busy for me. That’s fair, I’ll look for an attorney that can communicate. I’d recommend you do too.

First I have to start by saying she is extremely intelligent, and knowledgeable. Mandi has worked with me on everything I needed detail for detail and executed it brilliantly. She cares a lot about her clients and it shows. She is the attorney you want to represent you not just because of her aggressiveness to win your case but also because she relates to your situation and empathizes. She will get the outcome you want for your case whatever it may be. She's by far the best in the Columbus area, without a doubt. You need Mandi on your side, otherwise you are on the losing side.

Mandi has been my lawyer now for almost a year. To start of with at the beginning, I was in dire need of a lawyer and couldn’t find one because of my financial situation. As an E-4 in the army I was paying 1/3 of paycheck to my soon to be ex wife, while still trying to survive my self. I had little bit of money For a retainer or any of that. She set me up with a retainer fee that fit my financial scale so I wasn’t completely broke. My soon to be ex wife decided that she wanted to just there an bank in my money and didn’t push the divorce. Once we found out Mandi did everything she could to get us into court to get a new child support set up. She was able to get me court ordered visitation set up so I could see my daughter in a less stressful environment. She also got child support dropped by over $200. Over the next month my wife started to deny me visitation because i was a “threat” to her and my daughter. She eventually filled a restraining order against me. When I mentioned it to Mandi she fought tooth and nail to get us into court and have it dropped. Over the time that I was doing visitation Mandi always told me to record conversations on the phone and during visitations. And I’m glad she did because she ended up using those when my ex wife said that I was violent and a danger to her and my daughter against her. Mandi ended up getting my visitation back, got visitation changed so my ex wife was no longer the supervisor, and that we had to communicate threw a app rather then text. The app it’s self cost $100 for a year subscription. With my financial situation Mandi helped my get my subscription so that I could be able to set up visitation. Over the whole entire time between now and when the I hired Mandi, she’s always checked up on me just to see how I was holding up. She always found time to answer any questions I’ve had. When I lost my rank and got out of the service because of my ex wife, Mandi stood up for my to make sure that it wouldn’t come back and bite me in the butt. Over all Mandi has been an amazing lawyer. I don’t even think my review does justice on her character or the kind of person she is. In court she’s the one you want on your side. Normally you pay for the kind of service you want, but she’ll work her tail off regardless of all that!

Mandi is a beacon of hope to me in a time when my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible. I am eternally grateful for her service and I hereby recommend Ms. McDonough without reservation.”

Mandi was not a very good lawyer for me. Never returned phone calls or emails until a week later. If it was returned at all. Lied about a few things and promises that couldn’t be kept. I am paying a lot of money and almost at my 90 days from temporary court which states I would have had mediation within that time. Now I know why Soldiers get done wrong by people like Mandi. She song a good song and how she would do this and that to ensure it’s 50/50, it didn’t happen that way. She didn’t even inform me of a court hearing I was suppose to be at. I will be reporting her through GA state bar and on base to hopefully give soldiers warning not to use her as there legal advisor. She went on vacation twice for 2 months and I wasn’t informed of this and had no one to give me legal advice as I am going through a rough divorce. I was notified the second month she was on vacation. My wife lawyer answer her 24/7. We may not agree on the divorce but she tells me how great her lawyer is. Mandi promised me I would be at mediation in less then 60 days from my Temporary hearing. It’s been over 6 months now and I have learned a lot so far. The lawyers stall a lot because they charge you for every minute you are with them even e-mails are charged a ridiculous price well over 150$. If you need any advice I will help you and not charge you. I will also tell you the things you need to look out for. The more you know the less chance you will have getting done wrong. This was a very bad experience and I have lost everything so far dealing with this lawyer. I had to start from scratch and still paying my soon to be ex wife over 1/3 of my check. Although she has a Salary job. Every weekend she is going out of town while I barely meet ends. This is the lawyer I have hired and now suffering. Makes no sense when I am the one who asked for the divorce. You going to need more then luck if you hire this lawyer. All talk poor execution. She even called me and threatened me after I sent her along email withdrawing from being her client. Very unprofessional and changed everything that has been going on to fit her being a good lawyer. Since being her client have spoken to about 3 different secretaries she has had. That gets you thinking. Honesty onto your clients will go along way. Do your research prior to hiring a lawyer and read a little before they feed you lies. She also still has not payed me back the remainder of my retainer fee. Again do your research before you even attempt to hire this lawyer.

When I first met Mrs. McDonough I was drawn to her tenacity, dedication, and commitment to seeing my case through. She was able to get me to see my daughters face again and I am so very thankful for her help and everything she'd done for me. If you or someone you know needs a really reputable divorce and separation/child custody/family lawyer I can more than assure you Mandi McDonough is the best possible choice for whatever your case may be. I do not regret one moment selecting her as my attorney and should anything situational happen again I won't hesitate to hire her again for her excellent service.

An amazing attorney, and an amazing person!

She's a amazing attorney. The best hands down. Very understanding and reliable. I would recommend her 10 times out of 10 to anyone going through family court.

Mandi was very knowledgeable about my case! She was patient with me when explaining the legal aspects of my case. When it came down to it Mandi's knowledge and determination got me through it! You would be lucky to have Mandi on you're side!

Five stars are not enough for Mandi McDonough. She went above and beyond to get my divorce settled and the whole time I felt at ease, knowing she had my best interests at heart. She is a brilliant attorney, and God bless anyone who is on her opposing side.

Mandi is very knowledgeable and professional. She promised need very easy and fast case, and that is what she provided. Before entering her office, I had no clue what to expect concerning divorce except long waits. However this was not the case. She pursued the case effectively enough to get my divorce handled with two months time!! She went above and beyond to help out with anything that came up. Especially with my ex being so hard to locate and serve. I'm very satisfied and you will be too with Mandi McDonough on your team.
