About Courtney
Biography
After working as a therapist assisting families with various emotional and psychological crisis, I determined that I could greatly assist clients as an attorney practicing family law. I obtained experience at a Legal Aid clinic and as a clerk in the family law court before joining Kraayeveld Law. I work hard ensuring that my clients receive the results that they request, and I make sure that my clients know what to expect and are pleased with my services.

Professional and Fair
Courtney worked with me for over two years as my divorce contained many moving pieces. Throughout this timeframe, she made herself available to me 24/7 and always listened attentively to my wishes as we progressed.

Didn't Devote Time to My Case
In my opinion she did not do any of the important prep work for my case which resulted is us having to settle last minute. This resulted in my losing parenting time despite the fact that we had a strong case against my ex.

Amazing Advocate for Child Custody Cases

Courtney's background particularly lends her to practicing law in Kent county. She knows the judges and the court, having worked closely with them in the past in a different capacity.
