Courtney McConomy is a shareholder at Sherr Puttmann Akins Lamb PC and a respected family law attorney. Known for her compassion, intellectual rigor, and fierce advocacy, Courtney has dedicated her entire career to helping families navigate some of life’s most difficult transitions—divorce, custody disputes, financial conflicts, and high-stakes domestic relations matters. She combines the tenacity of a seasoned trial lawyer with the empathy of someone who genuinely understands what is at stake for her clients: their children, their financial security, and their peace of mind.
Experience & Approach
Courtney earned her Juris Doctorate from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law in 2010 and her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, cum laude, from Truman State University in 2006. Before entering private practice, she gained invaluable perspective clerking for the Honorable Kerry S. Hada in Denver’s Juvenile Court and the Honorable Angela Arkin in Douglas County’s Domestic Relations Court. These formative experiences shaped her client-centered philosophy: every family is unique, every case deserves individualized attention, and every client deserves to feel heard.
Courtney handles complex domestic relations matters across Colorado, representing clients in:
- Divorce and Dissolution of Marriage
- Child Custody, Parental Responsibilities, and Parenting Time
- Spousal Maintenance and Child Support
- Complex Property Division and Financial Settlements
- High-Conflict Disputes, Relocation Cases, and Post-Decree Modifications
Whether pursuing a negotiated settlement or preparing for trial, Courtney’s approach is strategic, thorough, and always guided by her clients’ best interests. She is a passionate advocate who works tirelessly to achieve amicable resolutions when possible—and who is equally prepared to deliver powerful courtroom representation when litigation becomes necessary. Clients consistently describe her as smart, compassionate, detail-oriented, and fiercely committed to the best possible outcome.
