Courtney L. Quist

I don't often write reviews but my experience with Courtney and her partner was incredibility bad and want to warn others before you spend your hard earned money with someone so incompetent as her. She didn't have any problems calling me right away to bring me into her office to collect the $3,000.00... retainer but after that day I couldn't get her to return calls or explain what she was doing with my case. I truly don't think she knows how to use a computer or email attachments. Please do not hire Courtney..There are much better attorney's in town. In fact my new attorney has done twice as much as Courtney in the 1st month.

She lost my home Of 13 years most of my Childs custody had me work on getting financial figures together and on the day of divorce 7 months past Original divorce date tells me she doesn't do QDRO'S please do your homework read the other similar story's she will not stop until her phone stops ring...ing

Courtney came recommended by an associate of mine. I should have known that there would be trouble when there were many mistakes in the paperwork that was filed for the divorce. The advise she gave me was contradictory to what was written in the summons which my spouse's attorney then used against ...me. She is very poor at communication as I have had to call her many times just to get a single call back. I have now spoken to several attorneys who have informed me that this is typical Courtney behaviour. Happy to take your retainer and get you half way into trouble and then state that is is too complicated to get you out of or that it will cost you a ton more money to fix! STAY AWAY!

I am writing this review not out of spite, because I personally liked Courtney, but because someone elses review helped me to decide I needed to find another attorney. She does not do her homework. She does not keep the facts of the case straight. She makes promises she cannot keep. I could've had mo...nths of temporary spousal support if she had filed the paper work correctly. She took $3000 from me- I got nothing for it. She advised me to go to mediation, although I knew it would not work, stating that a judge would order us to anyway--another $500 down the drain and it turns out the judges in my county do not require mediation.(didn't do her homework). She allowed my husband to lock me out of my house and did nothing. Her office did not serve my husband divorce papers when they said they would causing further delays and problems, I have been advised to file a grievance against her to the state bar by another lawyer but am too busy working with my new lawyer who has gotten me temporary spousal support and has done more in 2 months to move my case along than she did in 8.

I had to call her and remind her of my 1st court appearance. She blamed her secretary. Her work was sloppy and she never got any results. I've been waiting over 4 weeks for her to do something and have called numerous times. She blames the other councel for nothing getting done. She has already burne...d up my $2000 retainer for one court date and my phone calls to her to try to figure what's going on.
