Courtney Pilchman

Courtney Pilchman was a Deputy District Attorney for over six years prior to becoming a criminal defense attorney. She was a member of some of the most elite prosecution units including crimes against children, family violence, and sexual assault. She prosecuted very high profile cases and had a stellar trial record. In her capacity as DDA, she worked closely with judges, district attorneys, defense experts and law enforcement agencies. Courtney has earned the distinguished title of Top 1% of Attorneys in the United States.

After leaving the DA's office, she opened the law firm of Pilchman & Kay, PLC with her colleague, Anita Kay. Ms. Pilchman is able to utilize her skills as a trial attorney along with her legal connections for the best interest of her clients. She has an accomplished track record as an aggressive trial attorney, earning her the respect of her peers. Equally impressive, Ms. Pilchman has been complimented as an attorney who is willing to spend time with her clients, educating them on the process and giving sound legal advice.

5 / 5 stars

Courtney not only did an incredible job as my lawyer, but she is the very rare attorney who actually cares about her clients. It goes without saying that we came out ahead, but when I met her, I instantly knew that she was someone I could trust to get the job done. I never doubted her and she never let me down. I highly recommend Courtney and her firm Pilchman & Kay.
