Amy Sara Cores

Amy Cores is professional, knows the laws, always made herself available anytime (even weekends), and took the time to explain actions in my case. Several times in the courthouse while Amy was not near me for a moment, other attorneys approached me telling me that she was the best in NJ and that I w...as in good hands. I certainly did not need the reassurance that I selected the right attorney but more impressed that her fellow colleagues spoke so highly of her. Also, her staff is kind, courteous and professional. I highly recommend Cores & Associates for your custody case.

I will start with my bottom line first: you can look far and wide and you will not find a more capable, competent, knowledgeable, professional, strategically brilliant attorney than Amy Sara Cores! I was incredibly fortunate to find her to take on my case and I credit her with rescuing my four childr...en and I from a litigation nightmare so dire that it felt like I was walking through the pits of hell. Ms. Cores was my fourth attorney (long story of lawyers not doing what they should have or in 2/3 even hurting my case). As soon as I began working with Ms. Cores, I dared to believe things would finally be handled efficiently and appropriately. I saw the professionalism and the dedication from day one. Only I have been blown away by how phenomenal Ms. Cores is! She got a handle on the case and turned it around in such a short time. Made me think that had I had her for my attorney from day one, three years ago when I filed for divorce, my divorce would have been over in 6 months. Save yourself the heartache and wasted litigation fees and hire Ms. Cores first. I cannot recommend her more highly! Also, please know that she truly knows how to handle bullies of all kinds. Many divorces go on way too long because you have one vindictive litigant represented by an incompetent and unscrupulous lawyer (true in the case of my soon to be ex and his buddy lawyer) and on the side of the reasonable litigant there is an attorney who is either also incompetent, uncaring, greedy or a pushover. You are safe from any of these concerns when being represented by Amy Cores- she will nip the nonsense in the bud, allowing the case to move forward and setting you free to commence your new life in the best possible standing. What more can anyone hope to gain from retaining the services of a family law attorney? It is priceless. A few last words of friendly advice from someone who made quite a few mistakes before retaining Cores & Assoc: look for credentials and do not make exceptions for lawyers who don't have them. Ms. Cores is highly credentialed, most of any attorney I found in NJ. Never use any attorney that is not certified matrimonial. Most non-family law attorneys have no idea what they are doing. It is like getting a broken limb treated by a dentist! Look at reviews (only reason I am writing this one is to help others), but allow for a few outliers. This means the attorney being reviewed is honest. I have known lawyers who have close to 100 perfect five star reviews and you later find out that they have any review that is not five stars removed. A truly great lawyer will have some along the way who have their feathers ruffled (like adversaries!). So, in closing of my possibly long-winded (because I am so dang grateful!) review: hire Amy Sara Cores and her exceptional firm, it will be the best decision you could make for yourself and your kids! You can thank me later!

I hired Amy to get me visitation with my kids. My ex Wife was refusing to let me see them. I had very little contact with them in the past few years because my ex had got a restraining order. We had to go to court a few times, but Amy had told me it was going to take a few court appearances. I was ...not happy about the time that it took and it was not cheap, but now I have my kids.

Amy was recommended by a friend of mine, who also handles family law himself. I was hesitant to switch lawyers in the middle of divorce; however, the previous lawyer made a few mistakes, was sometimes slow to respond and I felt his law firm was extremely inefficient and unorganized. These are the ...types of things that can cause your lawyer fees to add up and; of course, with nothing in return. After the first 30 minutes with Amy in my initial consultation I felt a relief that I knew she would protect my interest in a high conflict divorce that has been going on for two years and still pending. She is extremely organized, efficient, intelligent and competent. She had full control of my situation and case history in a very short timeframe. While anyone going through a divorce will most likely complain that their lawyer is wasting their money on letter writing campaigns, motions, phone calls, appeals, etc.; it should be noted that this is a problem with the legal system and process and not with the lawyers themselves. While there are many lawyers who are more than happing billing clients for useless letter writing campaigns, I can assure you that Amy is all about NOT wasting your money and ALL about protecting your interests as it pertains to divorce. She does what is necessary to protect your rights specifically as it pertains to custody and financial matters related to your divorce. Sometimes that means letters need to be written and motions need to be file to protect the record and deal with important divorce related matters. She is with you and will be with you every step of the way. She will not sugar coat anything and tell you the facts, but at the end of the day she will have your back. I appreciate her honestly, bluntness and to the point attitude. There is no doubt that if you are going through a divorce and/or need a family lawyer, you want to use Amy to protect your rights. You will be able to sleep at night knowing she will protect your rights and ensure that the final results are fair and reasonable. Nobody gets everything they want in a divorce agreement, but nobody wants to be taken advantage of. Amy will be there to protect you in the most efficient manner. She will protect you on what matters most and make you budge in areas where it really doesn't matter at the end of the day. She knows and understands the legal system idiosyncrasies inside and out. This is important to know, as she will be two, three steps ahead of her adversary.

I first came across Amy during my divorce in 2006 at which time I was using a different lawyer. While sitting in the same courtroom, I had a chance to witness Amy in action. I did not know who she was, but was totally impressed how compelling she was presenting her case. She possessed a clarity, pr...eparedness and passion that the other lawyers lacked. It was at that time I started having regrets about my own lawyer. A few years later, a friend recommended a law firm for some post-judgement matters. When I came in for my consultation I was pleasantly surprised to find it was with Amy. I have been with her ever since and am truly grateful for everything she has done for my children and me.
