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.

I Wouldn't Consider Anyone Else!

I literally spun the bottle and picked Mr. Morano because he was located close to my job and won the lottery for choosing an amazing attorney! I had been hounded for several years by a law firm which specializes in debt collection for a debt which, why I did concede that I owed, had a payment in fu...ll far overreaching the actual amount owed. In addressing this matter Mr. Morano was professional, diligent, and more importantly, at no time did I feel I my case was compromised. This attorney was truly working for me! I NEVER HAD TO CALL HIM FOR THE STATUS OF MY CASE as he kept me apprised of what was happening on a regular basis.....and without being annoying. Further, he really worked with me providing guidance and respecting my concerns. I was very impressed with the fact that my case was handled in an expeditious manner having been resolved in less than two months and......having Mr. Morano being so thorough in his research that the ADVERSE PARTY HAD TO SEND ME A CHECK BECAUSE I APPARENTLY OVERPAID THEM! If you want an attorney who clearly understands "in your best interest" and what it means to "represent"..... then go to Corey Morano.....I wouldn't consider anyone else.

Great experience

I had a great experience using Corey Morano for my case. He was knowledgable, well prepared and set my mind at ease from our first meeting. I was more than happy with the results and definitely will be returning with any legal needs in the future. I would highly recommend using the Morano Law Firm.

Be careful who you trust with your case

I made the mistake of selecting Corey to represent me in an equity dispute. At first Corey couldn't be more confident about the strength of my case. Shortly after hiring him, and most importantly paying him, his confidence changed and it was suddenly an 'up-hill battle'. He was late for seve...ral appointments and even one time never even showed. He filed my case over a month late, because he took a vacation, and failed to get it done before he left. If I visited his office sooner, or he was more honest, I probably wouldn't have hired him. I didn't realize he rented a basement office that's shared with other companies. All in all. I would recommend looking for another lawyer. This one did nothing but waste my time and money.
