Custody dispute

I hired Courtney Thom from Brown Law for my custody case. Courtney was a great attorney! She got sole custody, full legal and physical custody for my case and is an amazing attorney! She is very professional, respectful, and has an amazing office staff who does the same! I would refer Brown Law and C...ourtney Thom for anyone who is in need of a great custody attorney!

Respectful

Courtney is a very realistic human - she does not sugar coat anything. Which, in most cases, is awesome and I am thankful for that. I knew my case would be tough and we had no idea what the outcome would be and she made sure I knew that. Courtney and my ex’s lawyer negotiated so we didn’t even have t...o have a hearing in front of the judge. We all chose what was best for my daughter and now I get to move my daughter out of state! She is very cut / dry but she knows what she is doing and she does it well.

Lost Interest in my case

Started off just fine but as time went on just lost interest or decided she didn't like me. Just started ignoring my need for work and failed to file an important motion. After 30 days of no responses, I had to pay a retainer to another to complete the job with another attorney.

Honest and Trustworthy

I am so lucky to have found Courtney. She is professional yet I felt like she treated me like a friend. Compassionate about my cause, yet honest about my reality. Having her on my side allowed me to relax and know that things were under control.
