Placing high value on her relationships with her clients, Courtney happily adapts her communication style to accommodate their preferences and explains complicated legal matters in plain English.
"My clients can be as real with me as they want. I am here to listen without judgement and help them in every way I can."
Courtney is most gratified when she can advocate for people whose voices might not otherwise be heard in court. No matter what her clients are going through, Courtney ensures their positions are clearly heard and validated.
Originally from Colorado, Courtney moved to Portland to attend Lewis & Clark Law School and liked the area so much that she stayed. She enjoys Portland’s eclectic food scene, hiking, learning to play the guitar, and hanging out with her “Chiweenie,” a temperamental Chihuahua-Dachshund mix.
