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.

Very well-organized and professional, resulting in rapid settlement

I hired Cortney for divorce. Her initial consultation gave me complete confidence she would handle the process very well. She was very thorough in collecting and organizing all the necessary facts. She kept me informed of upcoming steps so I could prepare. The mediation process took only one sess...ion. Cortney managed the negotiation very well because she was totally prepared and represented my goals perfectly. She organized all the data so she could make immediate computations during mediation. The judgement was approved within two weeks after mediation.

Cortney's review

Cortney was very professional with my divorce. She was very knowledgeable with any issues that came up and she delt with any problems right away. She didn't drag things out, she handled things promptly and she let me know what I needed to do along the way to keep things moving along smoothly. Her f...ees were very reasonable and affordable. I would recommend Cortney to anyone that needs an attorney that's going to fight for you.

Professional service, great advice, and clear communication

Cortney acted as my attorney in my recent divorce. She did a great job helping me and my ex-spouse structure the divorce in the cooperative manner we desired. She was very amenable to letting us work out the details while at the same time providing helpful guidance and looking out for my interests to... make sure I knew all of the consequences of certain aspects of the agreement. I knew that if need be, she would be my strong advocate in the process and make sure the settlement was fair for me. She communicated with me clearly about the steps in the process, the work she was doing, and what she needed from me, without over communicating. She used email, phone, and in person meetings as appropriate based on the needs of the conversation and complexity of the content. Cortney was recommended by two different friends who are both also lawyers, and I can see why. She did a terrific job, was always professional, and worked with me to make sure I got what I needed.

Wonderful!!

I have been with working with Cortney since the beginning of my divorce (3+ years) and have only positive things to say! First, She is very professional which is important! I have been in the court room many times with her and I am very pleased with the way she represents me. I have always had gre...at outcomes and I believe this has a lot to do with Cortney's professionalism and expertise. Second, She is extremely knowledgeable and keeps you on task to continue moving forward in the process. Lastly, She is always willing to listen and offers great advice. Even though this has been a long and emotionally draining experience, it comforting to know I have a great attorney by my side. I would recommend her over and over again!!

  • 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.
