Courtney's lawyers

Courtney's Lawyers are recurring characters who frequently help Courtney when she doesn't get her way.

Total Drama Island
In Basic Straining, Courtney was wrongfully voted off due to Harold's illegal vote-switch, and she used this elimination to win a lawsuit that was revealed later on. She said that that the show would be hearing from her attorney. However, in Haute Camp-ture we learn that this lawsuit was a failure. She may have sued for a different case, however, this is unlikely.

In The Aftermath: II, after hearing what Duncan has been doing, Courtney calls Michael to tell him to sue the show, which he succeeds in doing by the next episode. Courtney's lawyers have, apparently, advised Courtney not to comment on the progression of their lawsuit. Later, when Courtney is led to believe that Gwen and Duncan have gotten too close to each other, she is furious and leaves the set to call her lawyer. It is likely that used it as further ammunition for her lawsuit.

In Ocean's Eight - Or Nine, Courtney tells of her wrongful dismissal of termination subpoena. Courtney says that the law offices of "Fleckman, Fleckman, Cohen, and Grouse" won her lawsuit. It is also revealed that her lawyers managed to get Courtney invincibility during her first challenge on the show, protecting her from a unanimous elimination at the hands of the Killer Grips (though Chris may have been taking precautions against lawsuits when they couldn't vote her off).

In the beginning of One Million Bucks, B.C., Chris mentions the lawyers as pit bulls before correcting himself. It is also revealed that the lawyers have made a separate set of rules for Courtney, such as dining with Chris and the producers on fine food, keeping her PDA with her, having premium bedding, and her own private bathroom. At the end of that same episode, Chris acknowledges that Heather was unsuccessful in cutting off Courtney's hair. He explains that thanks to her "kick-butt" lawyer, they can't so much as harm a hair on her head.

In Dial M for Merger, she mentions that her lawyer is already working on LeShawna's spa incident. She also tried to contact him and others to get a bomb expert but she could not reach them because of out of office calls. She reveals that she's paying her other lawyers 20% of her settlement.

Courtney tries to contact her lawyers again in Super Hero-ld but got an "out of office" reply.

In The Princess Pride, Courtney's lawyers demanded 80% of the profits gained by the Princess Courtney Doll merchandise, resulting in the doll's switch to "Princess Beth" dolls, ticking Courtney off.

In Get a Clue, Courtney tries to contact her lawyers but finds out that her PDA has no bars on the train. She can't go without it, but survives her pain.

In Rock n' Rule, when Owen was declared back into the game, Cortney finds it unfair considering she had to file a lawsuit to be brought back into the game (while Owen apparently just "came back") so she states that she is going to contact her lawyers about it. Although the action is stopped when Chris declares that Owen also filed a lawsuit (when he really didn't).

Courtney's lawyers tried to contact her in Top Dog. They found out that Harold was right about Owen and that he was a traitor. Then, Courtney loses contact all together when her PDA falls down a waterfall.

In the alternate ending where Duncan lost in The Aftermath: IV, she calls her lawyers because she sensed an "electoral fraud" in the vote.

In Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special, Courtney's lawyers advise her not to comment about her recent court filings against Duncan.

Michael, by name, is also mentioned in the Best. Game. Ever., when you break an alliance with Courtney. ("You're breaking our alliance? Well, I'll have you know that was a legal and binding agreement. You'll be hearing from my lawyer, Michael!")

Trivia

 * In Dial M for Merger, Chris mentions that he picked Courtney, hinting Chris might have let Michael win the case, only to get ratings up. This is unlikely, since Chris' massage budget was cut, but he could have let Courtney on thinking he'd get even more money from the drama Courtney would cause.
 * Also, this may mean Chris has possibly planned the right from the get-go after Courtney's unfair elimination.
 * Michael may not be the only lawyer working for Courtney.
 * Michael is the second unseen person on the show. The first people are the Producers.
 * Michael hasn't been called by Courtney since Super Hero-ld.
 * Courtney has tried reaching Michael, or whatever firm he works for, and has failed with an out of office reply. This may hint that even Michael doesn't like Courtney and may have only helped her to get his 20 from the settlement.
 * Sometimes Chris seems unworried when Courtney mentions her lawyers. When Courtney tries to contact them, she can not reach them. Chris may have something to do with Courtney's lawyers availability.
 * It is unknown if the "pathetic lawyer" that Courtney mentioned in the special was Michael or another lawyer. But "pathetic lawyer" seems like he's not Michael, because in One Million Bucks B.C., Courtney quotes to Beth, "Not when you have a good lawyer!".
 * In the Best. Game. Ever, Courtney will mention Michael if you try to break up an alliance with her. If you talk to her she says that Michael recommends that she records every conversation she has. She also mentions that she is legally guaranteed to win this season.
 * Week eighteen's tasks are about making Courtney happy so she does not sue. After finding Courtney's missing PDA, Chris makes the intern find apples for a fruit basket which Chris will give to her lawyers.
