If you want and need the BEST....

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!

Atrocious in relating to Clients-

I never retained this counsel my sole interaction with her was for a consultation. She admittedly was "unprepared" even though her secretary had received the documentation related to my case prior to this meeting occurring. She was incredibly self absorbed and only talked about how good she was and ...how expensive she was. I work with attorneys and none of them get on a soap box and spout on and on about their talents or cost. She literally started yelling at me calling me "stupid" to which end i terminated the conversation. This was the most unprofessional dealing with any attorney. Do not retain this counsel for any family law matter. You will by this "attorneys" own admission save yourself a lot more money getting an attorney who knows what their talking about and will service their clients in a professional matter.

This client was very frustrated by the result in her case, but the statements above are simply not true. It is unfortunate that she chose to take out her frustration on the firm. We deal with very high conflict cases and when a client does not get the result that they want, they often blame the attorney. It is unfortunate, but understandable.

She is great

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.

Thank you

I was referred to Amy by another attorney because I had a weird legal issue. Amy spent over an hour with me during a FREE consult and then told me to save my money and not pursue the case. She told me the case would cost me a lot more than I would ever get, if I even won. I had met with other attor...neys who just quoted me a retainer. Thank you for spending the time and being honest with me about my case.

Tells it like it is

Amy worked with me on my divorce. She was the second lawyer I retained and I hired her to take the case to trial and not settle. The first lawyer 'yessed' me a lot. Amy did not. She basically spent time explaining the law to me and explaining why I was wrong. It was hard to hear and there was some y...elling by both of us. In the end, my ex-wife and I were able to reach a resolution that was not what I had originally expected or wanted. But I did not have to go through the time and expense of a trial. Amy is aggressive and intense and she is not for everyone. But she is devoted to her clients and fights very hard for them. I would recommend Amy to anyone who is serious about getting things done the right way.
