About Courtney

Learn Courtney’s areas of practice.

1
Practice area

I graduated from the University of Denver, Sturm College of Law, first in my class. While in law school, I was the president of the Spanish Speaking Lawyers Association, and I interned with a private local immigration law firm, the Denver Immigration Court, a corporate law firm in Caracas, Venezuela, and the Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network, where I continue to volunteer as a pro bono attorney.

After law school, I clerked for the Colorado Court of Appeals and the Vermont Environmental Court. I then spent two years working for a private Vermont law firm before returning to Colorado, my native state. While in Vermont, I provided volunteer legal assistance to several immigrant and refugee nonprofit organizations.  I have practiced exclusively immigration law since my return to Colorado in 2014.

I am an active member of the Executive Committee of the Colorado Chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA). I am also a past chair and current member of the Spanish Speaking Lawyers Committee of the Colorado Bar Association. I have represented clients before the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), the Immigration Court, the Board of Immigration Appeals, the Colorado Court of Appeals, and the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals.  My immigration practice includes family, business, asylum, and removal defense.

I have lived in Argentina, Ecuador, and Venezuela, and I am fluent in Spanish. In my free time, I enjoy international travel, long distance running, ultimate Frisbee, camping, hiking, snowboarding, and photography, and I am attempting to learn Russian.

Courtney Butler took my case short notice. In a very careful, speedy plan she was able to help me prevent a cancellation of removal. Courtney guided me in detail the whole way being available for clarification and proper steps to take. Worth every penny. Thank you.

Services greatly appreciated
JLF and especially Courtney was so helpful, they also told us directly what would happen good or bad. She doubled checked everything with us and always kept us informed. She always answered any of our questions and was extremely caring and concerned about are situation and our case. I will definitely advise on others to use JLF and Courtney as their legal hand with immigration situations.

The Best
Everyone at the Jeff Joseph Law Firm was helpful, positive and encouraging, from the receptionist, Sally, to the paralegal, Lindsey, and the attorneys Jeff Joseph, Kim Tremblay and Courtney Butler. Courtney made me feel confident because I perceived that she had a lot of experience, knowledge and professionalism. I am thankful for all the help I was given and for the way they treated me. I feel that no one could have done better.
