Immigration lawyer | Aug 27

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Cory Forman's experience in immigration law is exceptional. His grasp of the legal concepts as well as his ability to argue them in court make him a top notch immigration attorney. At times when the case seems like his client doesn't have a chance, Corey seems to win. His knowledge of the law and his research skills as well as his non-stop work ethic to fight for his clients rights make him an excellent lawyer."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Mr. Forman is an exceptional attorney. Although I have been practicing law for 24 years as a judge, magistrate, law professor, prosecutor, and private attorney, I learn from his responses on Avvo every time that he posts. If I needed an attorney, I would hire him. I recommend him with no reservation. It would be the best investment of your life to hire him to represent you."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
