Wonder woman

Listen Cortney pulls no punches and honestly should get into politics because she will debate you into your next life if your coming against her client. Having her on my side made me feel lucky cause I would hate being on the receiving end of her questioning. She's professional and scary because agai...n if she's fighting for you, you are gonna start praying those coming against you have tissues for the tears they might cry after she is done with them. The best thing about Cortney is even though she takes no bull and is passionate about defending you, she also makes you feel so protected and thought of. You will NEVER find a lawyer like this who cares about your rights rather than what they would earn. They defend you to the end regardless, and I am so grateful God sent me just the right people to defend me in my sexual harassment case.

Can't recommend enough!

I had no idea what I was doing when I was looking for attorney, but what sold me was their slogan, "Women fighting for women." I knew immediately I made the right choice when Cortney and her firm reached out to me only 15 min after I emailed them! They were very caring when listening to my sexual har...assment incident at work and were concerned for my wellbeing. I was constantly checked on and asked how I was doing through the course of the case and even offered to help pay for my therapy when I had trouble obtaining a therapist from my own doctors office! She and her firm, fought hard for me and always left the decision up to me. When something like this happens to you, it can be really scary and you dont know what to do. I HIGHLY recommend hiring Cortney and her team. You never feel alone, and you feel taken care of.

Incredible!

When I first talked to Courtney she made me feel so comfortable telling my sexual harassment story. She encouraged and sympathized with me and made me feel safe. She is extremely knowledgeable, strong, and fierce! Her firm Shegerian Conniff is full of amazing, talented, and passionate attorneys that ...will fight for you! I will always be appreciative of them for helping resolve my case.

She was one of two attorneys on my case, and I throughly respect her for everything she has helped me with. Sexual assault and harassment and employment wrongdoing is always hard to just deal with in general. Her and her law firm made the entire experience a lot more peaceful and comforting. I thorou...ghly enjoyed having her as a lawyer and I completely trust her and the law firm’s abilities. I recommend them completely. If you’re looking for a caring and personable lawyer that’s her and the law firm.

GREAT LAWYER AND WONDERFUL PERSON

I hired Cortney as my lawyer in my sexual harassment case. Not only was she extremely effective and settled my case in a short amount of time but she exceeded my expectations. She always checked on me and even helped me get into therapy and get back on my feet after what happened. I am extremely grat...eful especially since I didn't think I had a case after I talked to other lawyers, I was very down. I feel like she really fought for me. I am so grateful for everything she has done. I would highly recommend her.
