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.

Courtney Baldwin is a phenomenal Attorney

My custody case was extremely complicated due to several reasons. I relocated to my home state and filed for relocation of my child. Due to several years and an enormous amount of evidence being used, Courtney was there for me every step of the way. She promptly advised and directed me through this d...ifficult battle. She never hesitated to file motions on my behalf that were crucial to my case. She even at times would ease my mind through the stress and had me work on the specific issues with my case so I could focus my energy on what was necessary. And because my out of state case was expected to be almost impossible to win, she remained vigilant in proving what was in the best interest of my child. She’s absolutely the most caring and professional attorney I could have hoped for and beyond expectations. With Colorado being a difficult state to relocate a child through the court system, she put forth the best case possible. She understands the law and handled my case exceptionally well. I highly recommend any parent going through a difficult case use Courtney. She’s knowledgeable and also takes care of her clients.

Extremely Helpful

I was very uncertain on how things would play out with a pending divorce and a lot on the line. However, Cortney came through in a very crucial time. She is very responsive and very knowledgeable when it comes to navigating the in's and out's of the legal system. With her assistance, I was able to ac...hieve a better than expected outcome at my divorce hearing. I honestly believe that, with anybody else, I might not have been so lucky. If you are reading reviews looking for the right team to help you, look no further. Courtney is the one you want in your corner. I hope that I will never need legal help again, but if I do, she's the one I'm calling. 5 of 5, would definitely recommend.

Great experience!

Courtney is incredibly professional and knowledgeable. I felt like I was in great hands from the start. She was on top of everything and always answered my emails promptly. She made me feel confident in my case, but didn’t over promise and was always up front about what I should expect. I would recom...mend her highly to anyone in need of family law representation.

Best Child and Family Attorney!

Courtney was the best attorney that we could have hoped for. Although she had to deal with an extremely rude respondent, she stayed professional. She did everything possible to help us and gave us the best advice, information, and did a job well done. We won our case and could not have done it withou...t Courtney!

Courtney had a positive outlook on negotiation and seemed to strive for resolution rather than contention.
