Highly Recommended

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.

Highly Recommended

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!!

Professional

I had spoken with several attorneys before consulting with Ms. Whitehouse. She was referred to me from a friend. Following my consultation I walked away confident about Cortney's knowledge in regards to divorce law. I was extremely happy with my choice to have her represent me. Cortney is very th...orough and broke everything down so that it was easy to understand. She works very well with opposing attorneys, and has your best interest in mind from start to finish. Cortney made a process that is always difficult to go through much, much easier. I would highly recommend Cortney!

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.

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.
