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!

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.

My decision to divorce was a difficult one for many reasons so it probably took me longer to go through the process of completing and forwarding paperwork. Cortney was patient and allowed me to go at my own pace. She was professional, informative, and very responsive. Cortney questioned the way that ...I wanted to separate marital property and made suggestions, showing that she really did represent my best interest. I am blessed that she was available to help me navigate a difficult decision and provide me with piece of mind.

Thoughtful, professional and will fight for you!

I have been with working with Cortney since the beginning of my divorce and am I overly happy I hired her! She is very professional! She will go above and beyond to support your needs and wants in a divorce. She is very detailed and finds the little things you might miss. I had a had great outcome an...d I believe this has a lot to do with her professionalism and expertise. She is extremely knowledgeable and keeps you on task to continue moving forward in the process. She is always willing to listen and offers great advice, even after my divorce was finalized and issues have come up. I would and have recommend her over and over again!!

I found Courtney when I was looking through Avvo. She seemed like she fit the bill as to who I was looking for to help me through my divorce. I had a really bitter ex spouse that was trying to rake me through the coals and Courtney did an AMAZING JOB getting me through everything and it didn’t cost... me an arm and a leg! If you are looking to hire an attorney, I’d look no further and just give Courtney a call! Highly recommended!!

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.
