What should I do if I was just arrested?
Call a defense attorney before you make any statements. The decisions you make in the first 24 hours after an arrest affect the entire trajectory of your case. Courtney offers free consultations and is available for urgent matters around the clock. Call (914) 409-9717.
Do you offer free consultations?
Yes. Your initial consultation is free and confidential. Courtney will assess your situation, explain your options, and give you a clear picture of what to expect. There is no obligation and no pressure.
What types of criminal cases do you handle?
Courtney focuses on DWI/DWAI defense, drug offenses, theft crimes (including shoplifting and larceny), and violent crimes. She handles cases from arraignment through trial, including parole violations and post-conviction matters.
What makes Courtney different from other defense attorneys?
Courtney is a former Westchester County prosecutor. She spent years in the DA's office building criminal cases. Now she uses that same knowledge to take them apart. That perspective gives her clients a strategic advantage most defense attorneys cannot offer.
Do you serve Spanish-speaking clients?

Fees depend on the complexity and severity of your charges. Courtney provides transparent pricing during your free consultation with no hidden costs. She will explain exactly what representation involves before you make any decisions.
