Child Custody
Jennifer helped me through a tough time in my life. I hired Jennifer to represent me in my custody battle. She was very empathetic, compassionate, and direct. She truly was cared about my best interest and my son's best interest. I appreciate her timely response with my inquiries and her patience in explaining to me the process and steps that we needed to take. I am grateful to have hired Jennifer in being my representation and my voice.

Highly Recommend
I had a consultation with Jennifer in preparation for my child’s transition into kindergarten. My ex and I live in different school districts and have a complex custody agreement, so my goal was to find a school and a schedule that would be in the best interest of our child but also not have one parent without him for five consecutive days every other week. Jennifer helped me to achieve this and more. She provided me with 3 new creative schedules to work with and she presented numerous suggestions for approaches to my situation. I walked out of this meeting with a sense of empowerment by having more information and choices. This sense of peace has been quite foreign to me after several tumultuous years. I have secured and consulted with several different attorneys in the past. This experience has surpassed all of my expectations. Jennifer is a wealth of legal and family knowledge; it is second nature for her. She recognizes the emotional challenges that parents encounter while working through divorce/custody predicaments with a very calming and supportive demeanor.

Dealing with divorce, Jennifer made it seem effortless.....
At my consult, Jennifer listened to my case and with her confidence and empathy described what could be done immediately for me and what would be done to get me closure. Things moved quickly and I never once felt alone as she was right there guiding me and always available at my disposal. Jennifer truly is amazing at what she does and I cannot thank her enough for making such a difficult time in my life bearable every step of the way and seem effortless on her part.

She is the greatest lawyer ever. Jennifer helped me through my bad divorce and my child custody. She is on top of things, plus she gave me her lawyers point of view along with her personal and mothers point of view. When ever I had questions or concerns she was always there for me with an answer. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. I recommend Jennifer Courtney as you lawyer. She's the best !!!!

The Law Office of Jennifer Courtney, Esq. is amazing to work with. My divorce was taking excess time with another previous attorney at another firm, and was tired of waiting for my divorce to come through. Jennifer helped me finalize my divorce in a timely manner. Jennifer and her staff were very accommodating regarding appointment times, as I work full time and can only meet after 5 pm. They work with you and your schedule to make sure you have enough time to discuss your situation. Jennifer also is very efficient at answering all of my questions and responding to my emails within the same day. I highly recommend her legal knowledge and her office for advice and for legal counsel.

Hired Law Office to finalize my divorce
In 2017, I hired Jennifer Courtney to finish my QDRO from my divorce which started in November 2012. My first attorney charged me but never finished the job. It was clear she did not know how but still charged me! Jennifer was efficient, smart and very organized. She immediately took charge of my situation and processed it through until it was finally resolved the end of 2017. She did not let up and did all of the work including contacting my ex-husband which for me was unpleasant. I should have hired Jennifer Courtney to handle my divorce from the beginning. Additionally her staff was very helpful and knowledgeable and never treated me like I was an inconvenience. Jennifer Courtney Law office renewed my faith in attorney’s offices since my previous experience was terrible. Thank you Jennifer.

Divorce
Jennifer's guidance during the mediation process and final divorce process helped to keep me focused on the material issues and not worry about things that really didn't matter. She was also aware of certain legal issues with the property settlement that other attorneys had advised were not to my benefit. Thank you Jen.

Committed to protecting me and my children
From the beginning, Ms. Courtney was committed to protecting my two young children during my mission to obtain sole legal and sole physical custody of them. Ms. Courtney and her firm were truly exceptional. Her expertise, kindness, and diligence allowed me peace of mind throughout the litigation. Ms. Courtney was insightful and thoughtful and never accepted anything less than what was in the absolute best interest of my children. Our mission was successfully accomplished! I continue to consult Ms. Courtney for legal advice and have recommended her to friends.

Jennifer Courtney, great lawyer
I sincerely appreciated Jennifer’s legal counsel throughout a very long, arduous and emotionally demanding divorce. Her incredible knowledge of the process and command of the steps throughout gave me much needed guidance and confidence. As anyone who has been through a divorce can tell you, emotions often take over – she struck the perfect balance between listening and then providing me the sound, rational advice I needed to make the best decision. It’s good to know that you can receive outstanding professional service from kind and caring people. You can certainly give my recommendation to anyone who needs her expertise.

Efficient, Hard Working, and Fair
Jennifer Courtney helped me get divorced. She was fair, on time at meetings and with her work, and particularly helpful in managing my legal affairs with compassion and efficiency during a contentious divorce. I'd actually begun the divorce with a different lawyer who was not able to complete the divorce over a period of two years and then retired. After Jennifer took over, within six months, the divorce was complete. Because of her attention to details, Jennifer found "hidden funds" my ex had illegally kept that my first lawyer had not discovered. I highly recommend Jennifer Courtney.

Excellent Divorce Attorney
Jennifer Courtney is a talented, understanding and knowledgeable divorce attorney. I found her to be understanding, kind and respectful throughout the entire process.

She provided strong support when I had to make difficult decisions and she was instrumental in getting me where I needed to be to move forward with my life. She is a true professional and I would highly recommend her services.

Divorce
“Making that first phone call to Jennifer was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I was finally acknowledging that something unexpected and painful was happening and my life would probably never be the same. From my first meeting with Jennifer, she was compassionate and thoughtfully listened. She helped me to understand “the process” and the financial impact, neither of which I was truly prepared for. There were lots of questions to answers and paperwork to provide which can be draining. Jennifer always offered her support and was available by phone or e-mail. On a day that she was scheduled to be in court, she provided her cell phone number in the event I needed her on that day. Jennifer never set up unrealistic expectations. If she didn’t think something was worth fighting for, we didn’t. The entire process can be exhausting so when it ended I felt that a huge weight had been lifted off my chest and I could breathe again. Although making that first phone call to Jennifer was difficult, it was also the right one to make. Looking back, I’m grateful for her dedication to my particular case and extremely pleased in the manner in which she represented me.” R.M

Jennifer got my divorce done quickly and in a fair manner.
I was going through a tough divorce and my ex was in no rush to move things along because she was getting everything she wanted while putting me in a tough position. My original lawyer was terrible and it's true you get what you pay for. I met with Jennifer and she immediately put me at ease. She mentioned things to me my lawyer neglected to tell me and I knew right away I had to hire her. She was always quick too respond to my messages and emails and she was a true professional. She got me divorced in about 5 months and she truly helped me to get through my divorce with as little pain as possible. I can't say enough good things about Jennifer. She stuck by my side and got my divorce finalized. This is someone you definitely need on your side.

Dishonest
No compassion out for herself and money. Biggest financial mistake of my life hiring her. Beware!
Response from Jennifer Courtney January 22, 2018
Family law issues are highly personal and stressful. Family law matters can get contentious. It is unfortunate this person was dissatisfied.
