The best advocate I can find for my children

Kevin is my attorney in a high conflict custody dispute. He trusted me as a loving father; he has a deep understanding of the legal maze. Kevin is also meticulous in getting the facts for the best interest of my child. Kevin got me an extremely equitable custody arrangement, working skillfully with ...GAL, DCF and the family court. I am truly grateful for his help. Strongly recommend if you need an excellent family attorney with the utmost integrity and compassion.

A+ attorney

Kevin Corr is an exceptional attorney. I hired him for a ridiculously complicated and acrimonious custody matter and complex financial modification. He is incredibly smart, creative, thoughtful and aggressive. He thinks outside of the box and prepares inspired and well-researched case-based arguments.... In the halls of the courthouse, it is obvious that he knows everyone and is well respected by other attorneys. While extremely aggressive, I have seen him to be highly ethical. I feel as though he legitimately cares about me and he cares about my child (who he has never met) and is personally invested in the outcome of my case. Kevin is extraordinarily well-written. He worked collaboratively with me on all written submissions—often going back and forth on several iterations of important documents. For example, I was in the unfortunate situation of needing to involve a GAL. Kevin was forceful in getting the “right” GAL appointed who would understand the intricacies of working with teens. He then worked with me to draft the perfect introductory letter for the GAL process—accepting my feedback while simultaneously pushing back to keep the document as concise as possible. The process felt like a genuine partnership and the final product was professional, passionate and informative. Despite our attempts at a settlement, we ended up in trial—plus we had probably a half dozen or so hearings against two different sets of my ex’s opposing counsel, so I had numerous opportunities to see him in court. Kevin is as good on his feet as he is in writing. I was terribly stressed about the trial so he worked with me until I felt comfortable. In addition, his meticulous attention to detail became apparent during the prep process as he was rattling off names, dates and other specifics with greater command of the facts of my case than even I had. Kevin is a mad-dog, hard-hitting advocate. At the same time, he is one of the most genuinely lovely human beings I have ever known. He’s a parent himself so inherently understands the emotional element of family law in a way that only a parent can. He has a unique ability to be comforting enough for me to walk into his office crying and empowering enough for me to walk out feeling ready for battle. I started this awful process feeling totally victimized by both my ex husband and by the system. Kevin helped me stand up and fight back. I wish he had been my attorney in my original divorce proceedings.
