Hurt and disappointed

My family is still dealing with the aftermath of my court appearance on 9/14/20. I hired courtney hull to try to get custody of my grandson from dss in perquimans county. Her defense was dispicable and deplorable. She said it was an uphill battle, but failed to perform a good defense. Very lacking.... I suggest you keep ALL REVIEWS Ms. Hull so people get the truth of your work ethics. You failed to represent me and gave into dss and allowed judge davis to render a decision that was biased and favored dss. Judge Davis, shame on you! I should have gotten my grandson. DSS was determined to have the foster parents get my grandson. Let me be clear. YOU DID NOT DEFEND ME! You deserve a poor rating.

I am sorry to hear you are dissatisfied with my services. I strive to provide the best and most thorough representation to all of my clients and I did everything possible to fight for you. Thank you for acknowledging that I explained your matter was an uphill battle. If you would like to discuss your matter further you may contact me at my office. I wish you all the best.

I should of represent myself!!!

This website's rules state that I can not "bash" this attorney, and to stick to the facts. In my opinion, Ms. Hull was not focused on my case and did not communicate well. I would NOT recommend her services.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Ms. Hull is one of the most thorough and zealous advocates you can possibly find in North Eastern North Carolina in my opinion. Ms. Hull is always prepared, always attentive, and embraces a concept that I personally agree with that I call "belt and suspenders". Ms. Hull will never leave your case dependent on one (1) possible theory or avenue, she will layer multiple avenues for success to maximize the potential for a favorable result. I have personally worked with Ms. Hull as a G.A.L. and Attorney Advocate, where she has represented both parents and the Department of Social Services in various cases, and while we may not have always been in agreement with the flow of the case, I have always admired her preparedness, tenacity, and advocacy for her clients. Ms. Hull is a rapidly rising star in her firm, and I anticipate that she will soon be one of the biggest names in law practice in Eastern North Carolina. I wholeheartedly endorse Ms. Hull without reservation."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
