Couldn’t ask for anyone better!

Courtney Peterson with the Peterson Law office has been a god send to our family!!! From the very start of trying my husbands case and all the way through trial she was unbelievably amazing. I could never have imagined getting through this troublesome process with any other attorney. Courtney isn’t j...ust our legal counsel, but she became a good friend and part of our family. If I could give 100 stars I would!

Exceeded All Expectations

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 knowl...edgeable, 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.

Professional.

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 famil...y 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.

Fast acting and nice

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 spo...ke 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.
