About the Firm
Ivey, McClellan, Siegmund, Brumbaugh & McDonough, LLP has been a trusted name in North Carolina law since 1950. What began as a commitment to delivering expert, personalized legal counsel to individuals and businesses has grown into a firm with over seven decades of courtroom experience, deep community roots, and a reputation built on genuine results.
What sets Ivey McClellan apart is our "whole firm" approach. When you become a client, you gain the collective focus of our entire legal team — not just one attorney working in isolation. This means your case receives the strategic depth of a large firm while retaining the individualized attention and personal relationship of a sole practitioner.
Each attorney at Ivey McClellan came to the law with a purpose: to stand beside people at their most difficult moments, to advocate for fairness, and to make a meaningful difference in people's lives. That is the standard we have upheld for over 70 years.
"The expertise of a big law firm combined with the individualized approach and personal relationship of a sole practitioner."

Client Testimonials
"Darren McDonough, our lawyer within the firm, has done a great job for our family. He actually listens, explained our options and the legal process so we could understand, and then followed up by holding our hand through the entire process. Darren has a great personality, caring, and is very professional and knowledgeable. We highly recommend Darren!!"

Mindy Brown
September 2021
"I highly recommend this firm. It was our first legal engagement in regards to a commercial real estate contract dispute which led to arbitration and they knocked it out of the park. Darren was very thorough during the entire process and came well prepared. The opposing counsel tried to pull out a bunch of tricks. Darren just shut it down and crushed it."
Jordan Finkelman
September 2021
"I have had a very positive and productive advising relationship with Darren McDonough over the past several months. He has been astute and helpful to me regarding a contractual agreement that became extremely difficult and frustrating. I will certainly be recommending him and his firm."
Colleen Kriger
September 2022
"Darren McDonough represented me for a family law case and was incredibly helpful. He answers emails quickly and is very easy to work with. In court he is sharp as a razor and he easily found the flaws in the other lawyer's case. I had a good outcome in court and I am grateful."
Mike Evans
