Kevin Corr: The Fierce Advocate You Need in Your Corner

Although my divorce was finalized in 2013, I have been in and out of court for the past decade. Due to the pandemic, I lost my job, and my former husband continued to demand alimony payments while refusing to contribute a single dime to our children's college tuition. I had no choice but to file for ...a modification with the court. After consulting with my previous lawyer and Kevin Corr, I found that Kevin is more strategic, action-driven, and qualified. Despite the initial hope for a simple and fair settlement, the aggressive opposing party refused to cooperate, and we had to take this matter to trial. The trial was challenging and costly, but we remained determined to pursue justice and stand against bullying. Fortunately, justice was served, and we won big. The judge ruled in my favor, and I no longer have to pay alimony. To make things even sweeter, my ex-husband was ordered to refund me a portion of the alimony from the prior year. I am grateful for the outcome and the fairness of the legal system. Kevin and his colleague, Lauren Galloway, were highly skilled, strategic, and genuinely concerned about my well-being throughout my legal ordeal. Kevin remained determined to help me overcome the poor advice and decisions made by my former lawyers. He was well-prepared for every court appearance during our trial, demonstrating impressive intelligence, poise, and delivery. I highly recommend Kevin Corr and his team from Kates & Barlow, PC.

He allowed me to be a father

I went through a horrific divorce with my x wife wanting to remove my children to Germany. This was an awful situation which lasted for many years and was extremely stressful. Kevin has been with me every step of the way and still is. Words cannot express my gratitude toward him. When we first met... he said ‘be prepared to wave to your kids goodbye as they move to Germany unless your x-wife acts angry.’ Well, she did and my kids remain in the USA.

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.

Strategic thinker who delivers results

Kevin Corr is the 2nd lawyer I hired for my divorce. I was very disappointed with the first one and an acquaintance recommended Kevin to me. Even though he inherited a somewhat complex situation, I was right away impressed by his strategic insights into how to get a good outcome for my divorce. He is... a really good listener and really strives to understand his client's needs. He is also very effective in explaining the law behind his reasoning. He also was excellent at presenting a number of tactical options to choose from. In terms of negotiations, he was again very strategic knowing when to be aggressive (something he has no problem doing) but also knowing when to be more conciliatory. He was always available for my questions and responded to my queries in short order. All in all, Kevin made a profound difference in the outcome of my divorce and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is going through a challenging divorce.

I highly, highly recommend Kevin as a divorce lawyer

I felt so lucky to have Kevin as my lawyer in my divorce case and he is one of the smartest people I know. He is very straightforward and honest, and won't "sugar coat" things. This is one quality in particular I found to be very helpful--Kevin helped to keep me focused on the task at hand (my divo...rce), and helped me keep my emotions out of the strategy. My divorce was difficult, but Kevin really came through for me each step of the way, and in the end and I was very satisfied with the outcome. Without a doubt, I absolutely made the right choice in hiring Kevin. I should also mention he is very easy to talk to about anything, and is a kind person (but a very tough lawyer--and that was the point)!
