About

Her steady demeanor provides a source of stability for her clients during an otherwise calamitous time.Ms. Whiteley encourages open communication with her clients. Establishing a strong sense of trust is critical to the attorney-client relationship.“The relationship is a two-way street,” Ms. Whiteley said. “We both must be able to trust each other. I am the one person you can say anything to, and you will not be judged.”Licenses & AdmissionsEducationProfessional ExperienceAssociationsSpeeches, Seminars, & Publications

After hearing so many bad experiences of friends about lawyers I was scared to reach out. I am so happy that fear was overcome as Courtney is amazing. Everything I have ever wanted. Fierce and polite- a wicked combo. Very worth the money spent!

Courtney went above and beyond for me during my difficult divorce case. Her professionalism and demeanor were always 5 Stars during this long and contentious process. She was great about open communication and keeping me updated throughout the process. I would recommend her without any hesitation to anyone looking for a family law attorney

I could not be more pleased with Courtney. She guided me through a very rough divorce and not only held my best interests at heart but also the interests of my kids. She ensured a fair and just settlement and was aggressive in doing so. I will continue to use Courtney for any future legal issues. I highly recommend Courtney for family law/divorce!

Courtney has been there every step of the way for me, and she has been wonderful! She answers all questions in a timely manner, and is very easy to communicate with.

Courtney was by far the best thing that came into my life. After years and multliple lawyers and still getting nowhere, I met Courtney and knew I had the right person. She has that "bull dog" personality and gets things done. She is the most down to earth individual and can relate to anyone on any level. I have never been more please and satisfied with any other lawyer that i have had contact with. I would recommend her to anyone and everybody.

I had an out of state dispute over my CDL drivers license and was about to loose my license for a year so I hired Courtney to help me fight and keep my license and my job. She did an outstanding job handling my case in both Missouri and Arizona. Thanks to her knowledge and persistence we were able to beat my suspension and retain my license
