Cortney will assist individuals over the age of sixty when there has been fraud, misrepresentation, abuse of fiduciary duties, etc. Specifically, Cortney will address the lack of services, resources, and representation to elderly individuals in rural communities. Additionally, she will assist individuals when there has been fraud, misrepresentation, abuse of fiduciary duties, etc. for individuals over the age of 60.
Cortney has worked in public interest services since high school. She has always had an interest in helping those who need help and making sure the underrepresented have a voice as well as feel heard. Cortney builds great rapport and relationships with clients, giving them the opportunity to have a trusted advocate on their side with whom they are comfortable.
During her Equal Justice Works Fellowship, Cortney will reach elderly adults who have been victims of crime. She will work specifically on outreach in rural communities to ensure individuals have access to legal representation and connections to the resources Indiana Legal Services, Inc. (ILSI) has to offer, as well as offering trainings to community partners on identifying when a victim is in need of ILSI’s services.
