Exceptional divorce and custody attorney

I cannot say enough positive things about Courtney Baldwin. Courtney helped me with a divorce that is final as of this week. I was referred to her by a close friend with custody issues, and I’ve since referred a different friend to her for help with a divorce. She was amazing in all cases. She is ext...remely smart, knowledgeable, way beyond competent, prompt/responsive, detail-oriented, dedicated, professional, articulate, and kind. She does not over-bill, she is very honest. She advocates for her clients and wants the best and what is fair for her clients. The experience with Courtney had zero negatives or drawbacks, which seems rare when engaging an attorney. I trust her 100%, she practices law with integrity, and she is impeccable with her word which I value. It is so difficult to find a good divorce/custody attorney, I’ve watched others in the past struggle with subpar attorneys they’ve hired. I feel so fortunate to have found Courtney. Highly recommend Courtney for divorce and custody matters including complex cases.

Excellent attorney- professional, ethical, compassionate

Courtney worked tirelessly on my case. It was a very high-conflict post decree case and she took her time to make sure every response we had, every filing we made was strong and shot down every accusation. She was also very good about keeping in mind my financial limits and advised me wisely on many ...occasions where it would be best to spend money with experts and where we could do some leg work ourselves. We ultimately won our case (even with multiple appeals from the other side) and my kids are now SAFE and I can get a break from the continued litigation we had been subjected to. We are very thankful that we had her on our team advocating for us.

Outstanding attorney and person!

I was fortunate to meet Courtney while doing some contract work on her residence. After learning she was a Family law attorney I spoke with her regarding a long and complicated contested court battle I had been engaged in regarding the custody of my 14 yr old daughter. I was currently being represent...ed by a different law firm but thought I would speak with Courtney about my case because I felt like the firm I was with wasn't meeting my expectations. Their top priority seemed to be billable hours vs representing me in a way that made me feel like they actually had a stake in my case. Aside from the initial consultation with the founder of the firm I felt like I was just a number and a dollar sign. When I spoke with Courtney I immediately knew I had found someone I could trust who would have my daughter's best interests at heart and would be someone I could rely on to handle my case with compassion, fairness and complete professionalism. I'm thrilled to say she not only met but far exceeded expectations in every way. My case concluded last week resulting in the best possible outcome we could've hoped for. Courtney guided the process flawlessly and it was a pleasure to work with her. Her preparation, abilty to anticipate how to best proceed then execute the plan perfectly was a thing of beauty to behold. She was also extremely fair and diligent with her fees. She and the office staff, paraleagals etc stayed in constant and respectful communication throughout the process. Ms. Baldwin is the 5th and final attorney I hired over the last 14 yrs trying to accomplish what I thought many times was a lost cause. There is no better attorney to represent you or your loved ones in any type of family matter. Courtney is truly awesome!

Divorce & Custody Resolution

Courtney we professional, consistent, and very efficient in handling my case. The ability to negotiate fair outcomes and advise in a way that saved me the pain of making mistakes that may affect me in parenting time and financially. They knew my situation and perfectly addressed the situation to mana...ge cost and help me successfully navigate divorce in a non-hostile way.

MUST HIRE

I’ve been going through a very crappy custody battle. Every past lawyer I had were only after my money, didn’t care about my case or anything. Courtney made sure I knew every detail, didn’t waste my money, super fast communication, understanding and caring. I 100% recommended this lawyer, especially ...for family cases!
