Highly Recommended

Mr. Cornick represented me in obtaining guardianship for my now deceased mother when she was no longer able to make safe decisions for herself. After my mother passed away, Gary handled the estate, aiding with probate, taxes and all necessary legalities. Next, he brought wills and health directives f...or my wife and myself up to date. Most recently, he obtained updated paperwork in order for me to collect New Jersey Unclaimed Property after the state contacted me regarding that. I’ve always been more than satisfied with his thoroughness and dedication to seeing the job through to completion. Without hesitation, I would recommend Gary Ben Cornick to everyone.

Professional & Personable

Gary was recommended in a FB group forum. I was pleasantly surprised with how much time he spent with me on our initial consult to determine not only what I wanted but also what I might need. His office also communicated well with what turned out to be an easy and positive process. Highly recommen...d!

Thank you!!!

My father suffered for dementia which advanced quickly. My mom had been helping him but it soon became too much for her. So many issues came up that we knew nothing about. Mr. Cornick was very helpful in helping us obtain guardianship for my father and guiding us through the nursing home process.... He was always patient and available when we needed to contact him with a question. Mr. Cornick really provided us knowledgeable assistance at a time when it was really needed. Thank you, thank you.
