Great!

We contacted Mr. Morano at a very difficult time for our family. He was compassionate, thorough and professional and reassured us through every step of the process. I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Morano again or to recommend him to anyone I know. He did a great job and we were very happy with the o...utcome.

Going the distance....

There are many cases where the circumstances typically lead inevitably to a particular outcome. Additionally, there are also cases that may seem typical, but, when the attorney is willing to go the distance, like Corey Morano, one begins to see that there are also persons need other avenues of help a...nd support than that would not take if incarcerated. In my case, a close relative under my care, who repeatedly ran into problems with the law, and whom the state of New Jersey deemed an emotionally disabled adult, is just such a situation. Corey worked within that system to advocate for my loved one who could not advocate for himself; in defending the defenseless, he creatively worked with other experts in the courts and the legal system to come up with solutions that went beyond what is commonly required by the legal system. This included working with the judge in the case, the prosecutor's office, as well as key individuals from the Department of Probation, who worked collaboratively and skillfully with Corey to seek out and find answers to questions that were especially relevant to my loved on and his unique circumstances. Corey's focus was to affirm the worth of the person, rather than brushing aside the obvious and genuine needs of my loved one, which led to the creation of a plan offering a very specific kind of intervention and support. This included, but not limited to, working with out of state resources, which was particularly necessary for my loved one, in order to potentially, maximize the opportunities afforded to my loved one through the implementation of such a plan. As a result, Corey Morano made it possible for someone who would otherwise not have the opportunity, to obtain help in an atmosphere of ongoing personal, family, and therapeutic support, as well as giving him a second chance at life. Such a solution, I owe in large part to Corey's tireless commitment to looking for solutions outside the box. Once again, Corey was instrumental in providing help and support to my loved one, who had repeatedly fallen through the occasional cracks in the legal system. I will always be grateful for Corey and his determination to search for solutions, but more so, to find them.

When you need the very best

Corey Morano represented me for a workman's compensation case a few years ago. He was always honest with me, ready to answer any questions in a pleasant way and his gentle but professional mannerism made me feel very much at ease. Corey was an excellent choice for me. He worked very hard to get the... best possible settlement for my circumstances. I would certainly retain his services again should the situation warrant an attorney; and I would not hesitate to recommend him for the quality of his services.

Excellent Lawyer!

After using Corey Morano as my lawyer for a small case, there is no one else I will use for my legal services! His professionalism and integrity are unparalleled. He kept me informed and up to date on my case. He was incredibly knowledgeable and was very patient with me in helping me to understand ev...erything that was going on. If you need a lawyer, I cannot reccomend a stronger candidate than Corey.
