I can’t say enough great things about Courtney. For over eight months, she stood by us with patience, professionalism, and genuine care. She took the time to explain every step of the process in a way we could truly understand, never rushing us or making us feel like our questions were a burden. What really stood out was how thorough and detailed she was—she made sure we knew exactly what was happening, what to expect next, and what our options were at every stage. Her communication was always clear, honest, and reassuring, which made an overwhelming situation so much easier to handle. We felt supported, informed, and truly cared for from beginning to end.

I cannot express how truly grateful I am for Ms. Fogarty's preparation, representation, and dedication in helping me resolve my situation with the RMV.

My experience with Attorney Courtney Fogarty has been beyond amazing. Not only is she great at what she does, she has genuinely been an easy and wonderful person to speak with.

You can tell they truly care about the case taken on. I would without a doubt recommend her and her team to anyone in need.
