Best decision I made!

I worked with Cortney for my very challenging case, and to say that I would not be where I'm at today without her support throughout the process is an understatement. Facing every issue that could come up in a divorce, she helped me navigate the process to lead to a favorable outcome. The prompt resp...onses to any question I had was reassuring and the advice throughout the processes was great. Highly recommend!

Excellent lawyer!

I had spoken with another highly rated law firm before consulting with Cortney. This was like a night-and-day conversation, she had been extremely supportive and knowledgeable, doing everything possible to produce a favorable situation for me and my son. Cortney not only provided great suggestions ...for my circumstances but also made sure my son had the best possible outcome. The outcome ended with everything I hoped for from the beginning. Extremely grateful for her services and experience. She really does go above and beyond, and this is just what you want during such a difficult time in life. I would highly recommend Cortney to anyone looking for legal representation during a custody dispute/settlement!

Skilled Guidance Through Challenging Times

Ms. Whitehouse represented me in my divorce proceedings and always provided excellent guidance and legal advice, in a calming and confident manner, through a very stressful and intimidating process. She educated me as we entered and worked our way through each phase and I always felt informed on wha...t was occurring and why. She continually provided sound advice as I was faced with making difficult decisions. The process ended with a settlement that was more positive than I had initially hoped to receive and I remain thankful she represented me. I strongly recommend that any person who must navigate a difficult divorce situation to strongly consider retaining Ms. Whitehouse as their legal representative.

The best!

My first lawyer screwed up my case so bad, no other lawyer would touch it. Not only did she unravel the mess, I ended up with a settlement equal to the one I thought was fair. A very tenacious, professional. I am so glad she was on my side.

Highly Recommend Cortney Whitehouse

I worked with Cortney for about 8 months. She was very fast at responding to any questions or concerns and clarified things well to help me understand the process. She was very realistic about the expectations and guided me on the things I needed to do to achieve the outcome I was seeking. In the ...end she helped me get exactly what I wanted with my parenting time issue. I would recommend her to anyone needing a family lawyer and will use her in the future if needed.

Avvo Rating

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.
