He is very punctual, knowledgeable and responsive

Mr. Madera was the exact lawyer I was looking for; everything he told me before my case came true exactly as he said. He is very confident, knowledgeable, and punctual. I strongly recommend him to everyone.

Excellent care and service for my OUI charge

Cory was very effective dealing with the DA’s office. He kept me informed, called when he said he would call and never showed a judgemental view. This was my first time in court and Cory was very patient with my questions and accompanied me the whole time I was in the courthouse. He was my persona...l guide through the entire process and made a difficult experience more tolerable. As the process unfolded he prepared me so there were no surprises. I feel immensely grateful to Cory. made

Excellent Advice and Representation

Attorney Madera provided excellent legal advice and help. He was hired to help with a driving offense for our teenage child. He was very responsive and explained things in an easy-to-understand way. We followed his recommendation to be proactive and his coaching helped prepare us for our hearing, wh...ich allowed us to obtain the decision we were hoping for. Highly recommended.

A Shining Star

I had hired Cory to get my license back. The RMV had taken my license for 10 years. I had asked a few attorneys who is the best attorney going against the RMV, they all said Cory. I reached out to him and felt like their was a glimmer of hope. He reached out to RMV and got me a hearing in front of R...MV board. The night before my hearing, Cory got a email, saying the RMV was not going forward with the suspension. Cory was great, he took the time to call or email me information. I was really impressed with him when I would reach out to him on weekend or at night and always got a reply. He did a amazing job and I would highly recommend him.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
