Courtney was very professional and understanding from the beginning. She understood my frustration with a previous lawyer and reassured me that she would talk me through each step and proceed with this as quickly and painless. She did exactly what she said. The whole process took aprox 2 years, but when I hired Courtney, it took about 6mths. Excellent communication. Hands down, I would recommend Mrs. Kellner to anyone.
Ms. Kellner obtained an expungement of a mistake I made in my youth. Courtney made the process easy, it was apparent from the start she was a true professional. Being able to hire someone you trust, with something that can be very embarrassing, is vitally important to me. The help she provided me has helped advance my career to the point where I am graduating nursing school with my BSN in nursing and already have a job on a cardio thoracic floor, and have a plan to start working on obtaining my nurse practitioner degree immediately following. This process was made possible with her help. I highly recommend her services.
Courtney was very helpful with my divorce. Everything flowed smoothly and I was always communicated with and explained anything I did not understand. She made the process as easy as possible.
