Successful minor guardianship

Courtney took on a potentially complicated minor guardianship matter that several other firms declined. Great communication, documentation, and representation. In the end, it was not contentious, but we felt prepared. The entire matter was handled successfully via phone calls, secure online messaging..., digital signatures, and hearing appearances via Zoom. We appreciated the use of digital communication and billing/payment tools as well.

A Compassionate and Powerful Advocate — Courtney A. Himes

Working with Courtney A. Himes has been an incredible blessing for me and my family. In one of the most emotionally challenging times of our lives, Courtney was more than just an attorney — she was our advocate, our guide, and a steady voice of reason and compassion. From our first meeting, Courtn...ey approached our situation with empathy, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to achieving a fair and respectful outcome. She took the time to truly understand our needs, answered every question with clarity and patience, and made sure I felt supported and empowered at every step. Her knowledge of family law is exceptional, but what sets her apart is the heart she brings to her work. Courtney balanced the legal complexities with genuine care, making a stressful process feel manageable and even hopeful. Thanks to her dedication, experience, and kindness, my family was able to navigate this transition with dignity and strength. I will always be grateful for her support and would recommend Courtney A. Himes to anyone in need of a strong, compassionate, and deeply committed family attorney

Professional, Compassionate, knowledgeable

I had a consult with Courtney and she went above and beyond to explain the process of custody to me. This is not a situation anyone wants to be in - Courtney’s compassion made the process a little lighter. If I had the opportunity to hire Courtney, I wouldn’t hesitate to do so.

Very thankful for Courtney's professional help and thoughtful approach

I tried to file for divorce on my own, thinking it was a simple process, but there were things I wouldn't have thought of if it wasn't for Courtney's help. She's very smart, honest, timely, courteous, kind, friendly, and a terrific listener. Courtney knew what I needed and let me be in the passenger ...seat of this delicate and sensitive matter. She alleviated a lot of stress and helped me think things through in a patient and mindful way.

Mr.

She did a very good job talking to Sally so that she would understand what was going on with this case! Sally was hard to talk to with her condition! It was hard for her to talk understand what she was saying! So Courtney tried to explain to her what was going on! I’m glad that she did that!
