Courtney Marie Peterson

Courtney Petersen is a fantastic trial lawyer. I was facing several serious misdemeanor charges and one felony charge. Courtney was able to get the felony case dismissed by cross examining the states witness and proving the states evidence did not meet the legal requirements for the charges. Durin...g the trail for the misdemeanors, Courtney expertly cross examined the States witnesses, including several police officers and alleged victims. She was able to show inconsistency in the witness and victim accounts and procedural missteps of the police. She expertly questioned me on the stand and helped me to tell my version of the events. She was amazing to watch. At the end of the trial the Judge commended both attorneys on the professionalism and the knowledge of law, including the ability to reach reasoned decisions and express them with clarity. Courtney was able to secure a verdict of not guilty on 4 out 5 of the states charges. Courtney was always responsive to my attempts to contact her. I always felt like Courtney listened to me. I always felt like Courtney believed me and in my case. I would not hesitate to hire Courtney to represent me and wholeheartedly recommend her as a defense attorney.

Courtney was very professional, diligent and friendly throughout my entire legal process. She made me feel comfortable and confident right away and walked me through expectations up front and the expectations that were set were spot on. I would absolutely recommend Courtney to anyone that needs leg...al expertise.

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.

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 busine...ss. 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.
