Courtney Baldwin, Outstanding Family Law Attorney

I worked with Courtney on my dissolution of marriage, and she could not have been more helpful. She was kind, thoughtful, incredibly responsive, and she helped me achieve an outcome that was best for my family and young son. She prioritized my priorities while always offering objective and tactful fe...edback. Her willingness to work with me on some unconventional solutions that were important to me was incredible. She was able to help me navigate my divorce efficiently and her communication was amazing. She worked with me to come up with some outside of the box solutions that left me in as good of a place coming out of my divorce as possible. I could not recommend her more highly.

Strong passionate reliable lawyer

Courtney is my 3rd lawyer on the same child custody case, she is by far my favorite. Courtney is promt at responding, she has always responded to me immediately or at least in a couple of hours. Courtney doesn't drag things out, she is to the point, which is very important to me.

The best for me

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional support and expertise provided by my lawyer, Courtney, during my emotionally complex divorce from a toxic personality. From the very beginning, Courtney demonstrated an unparalleled depth of compassion and a remarkable understanding of family law.... She took on the majority of interactions with my ex, significantly reducing my stress and allowing me to focus on healing. Courtney's combination of legal acumen and empathetic approach made an incredibly challenging time much more manageable. Her ability to navigate the intricacies of my case while providing unwavering support was nothing short of outstanding. Courtney's dedication to her clients is evident in every step she takes, ensuring that they feel heard, protected, and respected. I will forever be grateful to Courtney for her guidance, kindness, and professionalism. She is not just a lawyer but a true advocate who genuinely cares about her clients' well-being. If you are in need of a family lawyer who will stand by you with both expertise and compassion, I wholeheartedly recommend Courtney.
