Courtney Marie Peterson

So far, great! I emailed her early Sunday morning. It was a shot in the dark, after researching attorneys and my case being as difficult as it is, she called and was willing to help. Did I mention I'm also over 2 1/2 hours from her location. All true statements, I'm doing my best to retain Courtney to represent me in a system that with a over booked public defender in my area. I can't get the truth or any real help in my actual defense.

Courtney is everything. She has help me get through these stressful times. She is very supportive &understanding. I can really tell that she enjoys helping people through there time of need.

Very helpful. Explained my options thoroughly. Very knowledgeable. Took time to listen to me and gave good advise.

I have consulted with Courtney on a number of criminal matters. I practice family law and if my clients need effective criminal representation, I send them to Courtney. She is smart and works hard to acheive the best possible results for her clients. She has an excellent reputation amongst her peers. As a result, she is able to negotiate effectively with local prosecutors. They know that she is unafraid to try cases, which is something any criminal defense attorney must be willing to do. Courtney is capable in all facets of representation, from legal research, to in court advocacy, to talking with clients about serious and sensitive topics. She takes her responsiblities seriously.

Courtney is the most devoted and loyal attorney I have dealt with. She makes herself available around the clock and on weekends. She is professional, yet approachable. Courtney genuinely cares for her clients and understands the concerns and needs of each individual client. She is extremely knowledgeable, yet humble. In the most stressful and trying of times, Courtney was always there to encourage me and advocate fiercely in my defense. Courtney made me a priority and for that, I am forever grateful.

Courtney was always there from day one . She's very professional, open and honest. I never felt like she was just telling me what I wanted to hear so that I would put her on retainer to represent me. Going through the legal issues that I had at the time Communication between myself and my family was critical. Making sure that everyone that need to know what was going on and what to expect is very important. Legal issues can come up and having someone like Courtney being able to represent you is important. She represented me very well in front of the judge, her speaking skills and knowledge of the law where blended very well. I would highly recommend her.

You never want to be in the position to need an attorney, we were though. It was for our daughter and it was for drugs. Very scary situation. Ms. Peterson was recommended to us by a friend. We met with Ms. Peterson, she listened, allowed us to be emotional, comforted us and then got down to business. We talked about the details of the case, she asked a lot of questions, took notes and then stated how she thought we should proceed. Ms. Peterson stated she needed to look into the facts and get with the police to look at their evidence. She quoted us a fair price and told us, if hired, she would do her very best for our daughter, we hired her. Through the case, we had many phone calls, meetings and emails. Our calls and emails were returned promptly. She kept the correspondences on message, as to not overcharge, since it's an hourly business. We greatly appreciated that! Once Ms. Peterson got all the information she needed from us, the police, her investigator and the Prosecuting attorney she called us in for a meeting. She laid out all our options, told us what we could fight for, what we needed to concede and what realistically to expect. She gave us hope but NOT false expectations. When we went to court, Ms Peterson seemed to be on very good terms with the Prosecutor and the Judge. They both greeted her personally and seemed willing to listen to her arguments and accepted the deal she offered. At the end, our daughter got a much better outcome than we ever expected. We are very grateful for Ms. Peterson's legal representation.

So, she is still working on my case and it's been 3weeks now, and I only have spoke with her one time on the phone talking about what happened and so on along with cost. Great price, and she listened and seemed to care. Ever since the only time I spoke with her and agreed to hire her, I have only spoke with her secretary on the phone 2 times and all the others with information on my case and the courts has mainly been threw emails from her secretary. Would like to speak to my lawyer more other than a computer and her secretary.

I hired her to handle my son's case. She plead it out only to find out my son would be left paying 3k in fees he was never made aware and when he and I both email her to get clarification, no answer. Took our money and left my son high and dry to find another attorney. Incompetent best word I can use at this point.

Unprofessional, scattered, self centered and clueless. She missed two of my court dates, Didn’t file vital paperwork and had even advised me to drive even though she full well knew I didn’t have a license, registration, or insurance I ultimately ended up getting arrested due to her negligence.

Waste of money! Had 4 personal emergencies within one case! Have seen public defenders do better jobs! Speaks over you and gets defensive when you are seeking simple responses. Asked for flat fee and described with that was not done and had a million excuses as to why. I would not recommend her as there are other attorneys who are more professional and similar in cost! If you care for your loved one, make sure they are in the right hands, and her hands are not the right ones!
