Employment Appeals Hearing

Zoe Courtney is the best! Not only did she leave no stone unturned she went above and beyond the call of duty to show me that she cared about what I cared about. She is a no-nonsense person and best of all she did everything with excellence. I was thoroughly prepared for all hearings, and I got the ...outcome I wanted. She fought for me with the knowledge she has gained. I would hire her again if I ever needed representation in any court of law.

She is a lawyer who cares!

When I was suddenly let go from my job, I was given a severance packet to sign that I had no idea if it was good, ok, or what to do. Zoe was extremely good about guiding me through it and making sure I knew what I was signing. She did not just help with explaining everything and all my rights, but sh...e helped me to be ok with knowing I made the right decision because I knew my rights and understood what I was being offered. Zoe helped bring me peace in the middle of my turmoil over being let go. Even if you do not think you should or want to sue get a consultation with her. You will not regret knowing what you are signing. She also does not nickel and dime you for everything! I ended up paying a lot less than I thought and got a lot more peace of mind. Zoe is what every attorney should strive to be, putting people before money!

You will not find a more dedicated and capable attorney

Zoe has been an invaluable ally for our family for almost 15 years. Not only is she highly qualified and experienced, she treats every case as her own. She has represented various members of our family, protecting them from frivolous civil lawsuits from wealthy parties and protecting them in Estate ...matters. She has always given us sound advice and ensured that we were ready for court. She has also prepared timely legal documents for our family including Durable Powers of Attorney, Wills and Medical Powers of Attorney. In preparing these various documents, she made sure that we were aware of all issues that we may not have considered. Although she specializes in labor matters, we were very impressed with her extensive knowledge of other areas of civil law. She works tirelessly on your case and constantly keeps you informed with valuable advice and counseling. You will never find a more dedicated attorney.

Labor Dispute

I hired Zoe for a labor issue with my former employer. From the beginning, Zoe showed empathy and understanding of my case. She did an incredible amount of research and understood my case and my options thoroughly. She was honest, encouraging and always left the final decision up to me. When I would ...get frustrated, she was patient and could deescalate the situation. She shows true compassion for the working class and labor issues. I also love that she is compassionate toward animals. It is with highest regard that I recommend Zoe Courtney to anyone who may need legal assistance.

The best!

Zoe knows her stuff; is honest and direct. Before I hired Zoe I didn't know which way to turn and I was wasting my effort in the wrong areas; she was able to help me fine tune my case. I have worked with other attorneys in the past that didn't seem to have my best interest in mind, but I always felt ...Zoe did have my interest in accordance with the law which I extremely appreciate!
