Attorney Courtney Veneri

Courtney Veneri

Courtney concentrates her practice in elder law, specifically focusing on guardianships, decedent’s estates, and Medicaid planning. Courtney has been doing client-focused work her entire career. She enjoys working with clients and helping them to navigate the complicated legal and probate system.

When she isn’t practicing law, Courtney enjoys hiking and cooking. She also enjoys crocheting with her and her partner’s four cats.

My goal in law school was to work directly with clients and help demystify the legal system, especially when they are going through difficult times. Working in elder law has given me the opportunity to work with clients in a meaningful way!
