Let's be honest - no one wants to be inside of a Court Room, but life is mysterious and never ceases to surprise us. Therefore the best we can do, in those circumstances, is to get the help of the best family lawyer to increase the chances of success. I was in a similar situation as well when I was parting ways from my wife. I took Courtney's help to navigate me through this complex process. My ex wife had falsely accused me of domestic abuse, sought order for protection for my few months old baby, asked for abnormally high spousal maintenance and many other things (other assets). Courtney successfully helped me to defend against her preposterous lies and unfair claims over my assets. Her communication with me, opposing counsel, and the court was very prompt, professional, and result-oriented. Her pro-active behavior helped me avoid many unforeseen hurdles. I am very pleased that I sought her help to fight my case and would STRONGLY RECOMMEND her for all cases pertaining to Family Law.
Courtney helped my son with his name change. She was professional, courteous and very thorough. She walked us through every step of the process and her timely follow-up made the entire legal matter seamless. We will definitely utilize Courtney again for any of our future legal needs.
As a family law attorney, my primary focus is to support clients through the the legal process so they may transition into the next chapter of their lives. I represent families in all type of family law cases including divorce, child custody and support matters, paternity actions, and Orders for Protection. I advise clients on issues relating to child custody and parenting time, property division, child support, spousal maintenance, enforcement of orders, and modification of orders relating to custody, parenting time and support.Â
Â
I am committed to providing families with dedicated legal care. My experience as a family law clerk gave me an immense knowledge of family court procedure, laws and how a judge may view your positions. I take pride in advocating for families to deliver long-term, sustainable solutions. I look forward to getting to know my clients and their families as I guide you through the process.

Name Change

One of the best
Courtney has been a stellar lawyer and a consultant for the last 1 year.
My own lawyer from the time of the divorce threw her hands up with the custody, but Courtney did not. She guided me through the tough time.
One of the best thing about Courtney is that she sets the expectation right. Kind of like, "The art of Deal". Go with right expectation, be ready to raise the stake as well as tone it down.
Now I have more time with my kids, regular contact, all at a price rate that did not break my back.

Beyond expectations!
Going into my divorce, I was beyond terrified. There were many complicating factors and I will be honest in saying that after nearly 20 years as a stay at home mom, I felt completely out of my league. That changed the moment I met Courtney. Forget the fact that she truly is incredible at her job, she never forgets that you are a person who is struggling and manages to meet you at that level whilst still maintaining complete professionalism. I walked in terrified, I left knowing that whatever happened, Courtney would do everything in her power to get me the best possible outcome, making sure that I was informed (and educated!) every step of the way. I will forever be grateful for the role she has played in my life.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are not enough words in the human language that could describe how impressed I am with Courtney and her team!
I understand that not all divorces are the same, nor are there any guarantees of turnaround time/finalization or satisfaction of child custody/ divided property/ goods.
But what I can tell you from my recent divorce handled by Courtney: she is very professional, very knowledgeable about the maze of laws & detail that divorce often commands, and is very quick & direct with her precise executions of equality and protection of her clients, yet remains professional to the respondent as well.
Cortney has always kept me informed of options and laws protecting me within my divorce that I was never aware of.
Cortney has always been in reach of my questions, and responds very quickly with answers that ultimately give me peace of mind, as well as prepare me for upcoming concerns and/ or issues that I may have within this process.
I would recommend Courtney and her team to anyone from a non-contest divorce, to a more complex, challenging divorce, or anything pertaining to family law.
Thank you Courtney! You are an awesome force!
Sincerely, Marvell

Courtney Schneider 5 Stars!
This was my first experience having to hire an attorney for a family matter. Courtney listened to my concerns and helped me do what was best for my family. She was very professional and organized. Ms. Schneider and her team always kept me updated on our case. She was also very genuine and easy to work with. I am hoping we will not need her in the future but if we do, she will be the first person we call. Thanks again, Courtney!

Caring, passionate and helpful
The best thing I did was hire Courntey. Courtney represented me in an Order for Protection case and was so compassionate and caring throughout the process. She was knowledgable about the law and my rights. I would recommend her to anyone needing a family law attorney. She is quick, responsive and makes you feel so as if you are her most important client. I can't thank her enough.

Excellent!
Courtney helped me out a great deal. I was paying over a 1k a month for my sons child support though I was old making under 35 a year. She was able to get it reduced by a huge amount and get back money they had garnished though I paid on time every month. I spoke to three other lawyers before her that were not willing to help because they felt everything was correct. Courtney discovered many clerical error in payments and supported me the whole way through. I am very greatful for her help and plan to stay with her in the future. Thank you so much! You really helped my family out alot. Now we can move on with our lives and try to purchase a home. This has been 3 year battles that she ended in a few months.

Made an uneasy situation easy
It was a pleasure working with Courtney. I have never had to work with a lawyer before so I was nervous about the entire process. She provided great customer service in that she validated my feelings and took the time to patiently explain the process and was available to answer any questions along the way. I also appreciated her timely follow-up as well. She turned my case around quickly and I would recommend her to anyone seeking the services she provides.
