Our Firm's History
With a rich history dating back to 1948, our firm has evolved through the dedication and hard work of its attorneys. Our predecessors, Herb R. Bennett and Paul McCarville, laid the foundation for our firm's success. Herb Bennett, who began practicing law in 1948, joined forces with Paul McCarville to form the predecessor firm, Bennett, Crimmins & Livingston. After Paul McCarville's passing in 1979, Herb Bennett continued to practice law for over 50 years. In 1987, Mark R. Crimmins joined the firm, which would eventually bear his name. Today, our firm continues to provide a wide range of legal services to clients in the Fort Dodge area and throughout Iowa.

Disappointing Experience
The law firm reviewed by these individuals failed to meet their expectations. Several reviewers expressed frustration with the communication skills of the staff, particularly Tyler, a paralegal. They claimed that she did not respond to emails or phone calls, despite repeated attempts. This led to wasted time and a lack of progress on their cases.
Unprofessional Treatment
Some reviewers described being treated poorly by the firm's staff. Brittany Sandoval reported that the staff member she spoke with hung up on her mid-conversation, while Vicki Dye mentioned that she never received a response to her calls or emails. I. S. was particularly disgusted, stating that Tyler was the "WORST communicator" they had ever dealt with.
Positive Outliers
In contrast, James Rogers and Jennifer Newkirk had positive experiences with the firm. They praised the law firm's professionalism and satisfactory work.
