Courtney Shillington Mehta

I hired Courtney Mehta do represent me during a very tough period getting divorced with children involved. Not only was she extremely professional, but was also extremely helpful in deciding which avenues would best be utilized with the smaller amount of resources I had available for this. It was dif...ficult to figure our which lawyer to use, and what the best options were. I had several consultations including a very high profile lawyer in Chicago to represent me that wanted a flat fee up front. Courtney was willing to work with me on the payment of retainer and also conveniently located directly across from the Will County Courthouse. If I had to choose all over again, I would gladly choose the same 100 times over. I won my case, along with custody of my children (which is horribly difficult in Illinois).

When you are going through a monumental life change things can be very overwhelming and anxious. Courtney has a very organized straight forward manner that also lets you know she is looking out for your best interest while helping you navigate through a divorce. Courtney helped me to make sure I made... the best choices for myself in a time when I just wanted to rush through. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a lawyer who will take the time to understand what you really want and help you to get there.

My case was a complete disaster when I came to Courtney. I had hired 2 different lawyers before her which the first one was very vague with my parental agreement and there were many grey areas, and the second one pretty much chewed me up and spit me out for no reason at all and I am still paying paym...ents to that law group even though they did nothing good for my case they just messed it up in many ways. Courtney cleaned everything up in a very short period of time and did not waste time or just keep continuing the case. She gave great advice and major peace of mind. She responded promptly and never kept me in the clouds. I always knew what was going on and she answered every one of my questions honestly and didn't waste my time. She did not charge me an arm and a leg and was very understanding and flexible with payments. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about Courtney or anyone I've dealt with at that office. My "co-parent" is extremely difficult to deal with and get answers out of, but she handled him with ease. I highly recommend Courtney and will continue to use her in the future if needed.

Courtney is very organized and answered all the questions I had, as this was my first time ever using a lawyer. Her office was a pleasure to deal with and they were just as informative and quick in responses as well. My case ran smoothly and my ex-husband was also pleased with the outcome of the divo...rce. I would definitely recommend her!

Courtney is simply outstanding. I was going through a divorce and knew I needed a lawyer, but was having trouble finding the right one. Courtney is the true definition of an advocate and was completely in my corner. She is extremely smart and pro-active, yet at the same time she cared and was willing... to work with me when I needed to make changes to my custody agreement. I highly recommend Courtney.
