About
After working as a therapist assisting families with various emotional and psychological crisis, I determined that I could greatly assist clients as an attorney practicing family law. I obtained experience at a Legal Aid clinic and as a clerk in the family law court before joining Kraayeveld Law. I work hard ensuring that my clients receive the results that they request, and I make sure that my clients know what to expect and are pleased with my services.

Courtney is a hands down one of the most passionate and dedicated attorneys to work with. The communication is smooth and never lacking. She created an incredible dynamic in which we partnered side-by-side through the entire process. The most important thing to me was how she genuinely cared about what was best overall for everyone involved. You will not regret choosing to partner with Courtney.
I came to Courtney desperate. My previous lawyer had literally left me hung out to dry. No questions asked, Courtney agreed to take on my case. She even took my initial phone call to discuss, when I was expecting to make an appointment for consultation. At the time she did, we were under the impression we were going to trial in a few days. Courtney is great communicator, very easy to talk to, kept me up to date and reassured me several times when I wanted to give up just to be done. In the end, she worked to get me everything I wanted. I also appreciate that she is fiscally responsible and feel she used only the time required for my case and was very aware of cost to me. I have already recommended her to several peers and will definitely be using her again in the future if the need arises.
Courtney's background particularly lends her to practicing law in Kent county. She knows the judges and the court, having worked closely with them in the past in a different capacity. She understands how to finely tune your communication with even the most frustrating of ex-spouses, and is keenly aware of what is best for the child(ren) involved in each case she works on. I have found Courtney to be as perfect for my custody case as if I myself had gone to law school and become the exact kind of attorney I needed. She is amazing and I do not regret hiring her or her firm.
Courtney gave me a great consultation about my divorce/ custody issues. She was very knowledgeable and gave me great advice.
When I came to Courtney my case was already 7 months into it, and it was a disaster, with my previous lawyer Randy Velzen. I found Courtney and she got to work right away my ex was trying to take everything from me plus wanting spousal support and Randy was giving it to her. Courtney was very knowledgeable with laws and quick on her feet to catch up on my case, she had the case turned around and I was divorced with in a little over 2 months, she found that they were over charging me on child support, I was able to get my belongings from my house. Courtney is also quick on responding to emails. if I had a question with what to say to my ex through text at 8pm I emailed her and within minutes I had a response. Courtney truly is an excellent lawyer and I would recommend her in a heart beat! Thank you so much for everything you have done!
For over 7 years my now wife and I have dealt with harassment from my spiteful ex. She took every opportunity to use our son as a weapon against me, and continued to cause chaos to disrupt the stability of his life. To make matters worse, she had a lawyer who consistently acted unethically by not providing information, providing false information in affidavits and blauntly lying in court. Everytime my wife and I had to go into the courtroom we had to expect heartbreak. That all changed when we retained Kraayeveld Law!!! Recently my ex stooped to a new low by falsely accusing me of something aggregous to CPS. To make matters worse she then immediately used this lie to take my son out of our lives. Of course her lawyer was there to draft up a motion full of beliefs and misinformation with no laws or evidence. My wife and I immediately thought “here we go again.” Not only was he taken from us, but he has a younger brother and sister who he was now separated from. Again, all from a vengeful ex that refuses to simply move on. Courtney spoke with my wife and I and took our case. What I enjoyed most about Courtney was the overall knowledge and passion they brought to our case. Courtney conducted herself in a highly ethical way. It was refreshing to see. She took time to research, gather evidence and site laws prior to us going to trial. What was the end result??? Our attorney Courtney Sierra went into trial and turned every one of their lies on them. She renewed my faith that court decisions can be decided based on facts and not lies. Thanks to her our son is home, and our parenting time restored. We are so thankful to have Courtney as our attorney and we will NEVER retain services from anyone else. If you need legal services, and have all but lost hope in the legal system CALL Courtney!!! Thank you again Courtney. Every lawyer should aspire operate with your level of passion, expertise and ethics. You are one of the great lawyers we far too often never hear about. GO RETAIN COURTNEY!!!!
I hired Courtney for my child custody case, and she has been amazing to work with. She has a big heart that is full of compassion, so it feels more like your best friend or family member is advocating for your child. She fights hard and keeps pushing forward to help you get what is best for your child’s needs. Courtney is easy to talk to and always understands your perspective. When she looks at your evidence, she can quickly connect the dots in the situation, so you never feel like she isn’t getting it. Whenever I feel stressed out about the next step in my case, I always feel better after talking to her as she helps you to understand the process, tells you what to expect, and is always honest with you. It is clear she values integrity, as it reflects in her thought process, her strategies, her writing, and in her court conduct. I fully trust her to help me make the best decisions for the best possible outcome. You hear a lot of horror stories about child custody, so I feel extremely fortunate to have found the perfect lawyer for my case. I strongly recommend her to anyone needing a family law attorney.
Courtney Sierra was always so helpful with our case. It was our first time needing law services and she really put us at ease with her knowledge. We highly recommend her!
