Courtney was a law school classmate and she excels in the areas of government, land use and zoning, and real estate. Her extensive knowledge and mastery of the law is a huge asset to her clients and it shows in the care and dedication she gives to each of her clients. Courtney is super-motivated and has an internal drive to succeed that is rarely seen in the practice of law. In the past decade, she has proven time and again that her attention to detail and insistence on perfection translate into success for her clients. I wholeheartedly endorse Courtney.

Ms. Hills has been practicing for 10 years working in municipal and real estate/land use & zoning. Having worked with her many years ago, I can attest to Ms. Hills' consciousnesses as well as her client-focused and results driven dedication. Frankly, the end work product Ms. Hills produces is extraordinary, and as a fellow attorney it is something I admire and look to emulate.
