Llc Mcdonough Law

What Llc Mcdonough Law does

McDonough Law is a private, founder-owned law firm established in 2018 by Kate McDonough in Silver Spring, Maryland, operating as a single-member LLC serving clients in Maryland and Washington D.C. The firm provides legal services across three core practice areas: family law (divorce, child custody, guardianship, adoption, alimony, child support, mediation, and collaborative law), probate and estate administration (estate planning, representation of Personal Representatives, will disputes, and trust administration), and civil litigation and collections (debt recovery and judgment enforcement for individuals and businesses). The firm also offers Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) immigration services delivered in Spanish.

The firm's professional staff consists of two attorneys (Kate McDonough and Leigh Jones), three paralegals (Lourdes Chavarria, Eunice Bonilla, and a senior paralegal function), and one intern (Darlene Mejia). Both attorneys hold court-certified Best Interest Attorney designations, with Kate McDonough also serving as a court-appointed guardian for vulnerable adults and a trained mediator. The technology stack is conventional: a Squarespace-hosted website, LawPay for client trust account payments, and OurFamilyWizard for co-parenting case management. There is no proprietary technology, no patents, and no AI capabilities.

The business model is traditional professional services fee-based revenue with quote-based pricing not publicly disclosed. Client acquisition is sales-led through referrals, search engine traffic, and free initial consultations, supplemented by content marketing via an educational blog (dating to 2018) and a Facebook page. The client base is overwhelmingly individual consumers, with smaller commercial clients (law firms, medical practices, private schools, construction companies) in the collections practice. The firm has no outside investors, no parent company, and no subsidiaries, and remains wholly owned by the founding attorney.
