Professional and kind lawyer

He helped me when I thought I had no where else to turn and was the only lawyer that seemed to actually care and not just in it for a paycheck. He was able to get me no points on my license. Highly recommend

Great attorney

He helped me on more than one occasion and got the results I wanted. He was very detailed in helping me understand the process.

Don't waste your money

I hired Cory for a custody case. Unfortunately, he was unable to perform some of the basic tasks, such as, turning in paperwork on time. This has been a headache several years later as I was unable to hold the opposing party accountable for not following the order because Cory did not follow up with ...the paperwork. Calls texts and emails from myself and other attorneys were not returned. Hire Cory at your own risk.

Cory is awesome.

Listen. Cory does what other lawyers do for like a third of the cost and he does it well. He doesn’t seem greedy or like he’s suffering from the huge overhead of an unnecessarily swanky office. I mean the guy drives a Honda or Toyota or some other affordable vehicle. He’s clearly not just in it for t...he money. I needed him twice and although he charged me more the second time, it was reasonable because the second need was more serious. He was also willing to negotiate the time I needed to complete payment. Cory is the one you want.

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.
