Amazing Attorney

I’ve never felt more supported at a more difficult time in my life. Courtney listened, cared and had the trial skills to advocate fiercely and effectively for me - and she did. She left no stone unturned in my case. I would never go anywhere else.

Cares about You!

To whom it may concern: I was introduced to Courtney Caparella Kraemer by another attorney while going through a divorce and custody battle. My brother, who is a partner at his own law firm hired her to fight for me and my daughter. I truly believe I would not be alive today if it had not been for ...Courtney. She saw what me ex husband and his "family" planned and knew what she was up against and still fought for me. I was certainly not her highest paying client I'm sure, but she treated me like I was her only client! She was ALWAYS there when I needed her and I needed her a lot . My ex husband committed perjury and took my child away and kicked me out of my home and stripped me from everything I had. I went 3 months without as much as seeing my child more than 4 times. For a mother that her sole purpose was to raise her child and be the best Mom possible, this was excruciating. Courtney knew where I was at and she told me from the very beginning that she would fight for me and boy did she! She gave it everything she had and I have my daughter and am happier than I could have ever imagined because of her and what she did in representing me. My case needed her and she made a difference. She makes a difference in so many lives every day. I could never say enough great things about Courtney and her firm. They saved my life. She saved my life. I make sure to this day she knows just how much her time and effort meant to me and my sweet daughter. I recommend her to everyone I know and she is worth every penny and more, much more!

Forever Grateful

cannot begin to express my tremendous gratitude for the overarching, consistent guidance and support provided me by Courtney, Michelle and staff, while trudging through the otherwise difficult and all-consuming divorce process! Their commitment to timely communication paired with an outstanding level... of personalized attention, is very refreshing! I am very grateful, having been referred by a friend (former client of Courtney's) and would not hesitate to pay the referral forward to anyone in need of superb legal counsel! Forever Grateful

Outstanding Custody Attorney

Courtney Caparella Kraemer is an outstanding family law attorney. She handles very difficult situations with such finesse. I am very impressed by her professionalism and knowledge in dealing with such sensitive situations. Today, she exhibited respect to all parties involved, but most importantly, sh...e cared about us, our situation, and our grandson. Her compassion brought us much comfort throughout the past year. I highly recommend her for anyone in need of legal services. Caparella-Kraemer & Associates, LLC

Dedicated, Skilled Veteran Experience, Highly Respected!

It is with the upmost gratitude that I recommend Courtney Caparella, LLC., Eliot Bastian, RN, Esq , and their trusted paralegal assistant, Cindy Luken, at the law offices of Caparella-Kraemer and Associates, LLC.! I did not retain Courtney for the purpose of bankruptcy or foreclosure. Instead, I... needed to hire her for the protection of my ex-husband’s filing her Chapter-13 bankruptcy on our marital assets, including that of “surrounding our home over to the bank.” Courtney was recommended to me by a close friend and confidant. It was imperative that I hire an expert attorney who was savvy about family, business and consumer law! It was important to hire an attorney who had strong ethical values and who wasn’t afraid to affirm their sworn legal oath; to uphold the law and protect the client even during the most adversarial times. Moreover, Courtney has managed her career by successfully establishing her own firm, expanding her network to include that of attorneys inside and outside her cohort. A good example of this is her collaboration with Eliot Bastian, RN, Esq. Eliot is an expert in Business and Bankruptcy Litigation, Healthcare Law, and Criminal Defense. Their collaboration was an extreme benefit to my case! Together their partnership includes that of networking attorneys, who represent national banks, (i.e., Wells Fargo). It is because of Courtney & Elliott’s veteran experience that in the end I was awarded the deed to the home (the home which my son and I live) as well as the successful re-modification of my home mortgage. Most impressively, they were able to achieve this without litigating in federal or state court. My case was contentious and met with many unique challenges. However Courtney, Eliot, and Cindy handled every concern with resolve! I am beyond impressed with how they managed my case and for what they did to help me get through this process! Their team has outstanding synergism! I am eternally grateful for my friend’s recommendation of Courtney Caparella, LLC., Eliot Bastian, RN, Esq., Cindy Luken, and their legal team of staffed professionals. Most Sincerely, CR
