Courtney Lynn Armstrong

Around quarter one of 2024, my ex-wife got into a legal dispute with her Mom. Yes, this is dysfunctional family and that’s because they all struggle with bi-polar. Courtney was called upon and the case was explained to her. She was awarded a $5k retention fee from me to represent my ex-wife in family... / juvenile court. At that time, Courtney explained that she charges a flat rate and the case could go on for a long while and go through 3-4 hearings before being resolved. She said that another fee could be imposed if it went beyond that. The first hearing arrives and the case was dismissed by the prosecution. My ex-stepmother asked the judge to drop the charges and the court accepted then fined her $150. Case completed. So… prior to the hearing, Courtney was asked if the case could be dismissed in this way and she said no but the judge saw otherwise. This is important to know because Courtney clearly did not contribute to the dismissal. Afterwards, Courtney was confronted and asked if any of the retainer was refundable since there was a fraction of the expected hours and labor put into the case. SHE SAID NO. There’s the factual story folks. You decide… you want this firm representing you? Courtney met with the family involved and is very aware that they are poverty stricken with mental illness. Still makes me angry to think about it.

Not sure about her just yet I can’t say anything bad . But when you call her office staff for a family member who’s in jail and your their only source of finding out info they ignore your calls because they don’t want to deal with it or answer questions . I know this to be true because right after ...I called each time I had someone else to call with a different number and surprise they answered !

First charged us $100 after telling us it would cost $50. The bookkeeper was rude to me when asked about the money. The girl lawyer sat with my fiancé and I for about 9 minutes. Way to extort money. Choose another law office. I will pay for 2 people you to use your money elsewhere. maybe if they los...e business they will change their business practices. The logical thing to do would be to take a fair price for the time used.
