Not good at all

I've hired this Attorney and we went to trial and lost you can reach me on my email and I can confirm with you . He is the worst lawyer I've met him and his firm they are unprepared incompetent they've received my discovery and didn't realize it till 2 months later never met with me to prepare a defe...nse never listened to my points just brushed it off . Never introduced any evidence in my trial and let the commonwealth walk all over me with no fighting back at all they are trying to charge me money for leaving a negative review. They are dishonest theu should never taking my case since they have 0 knowledge how to fight those cases again reach me on my email I provided and I will prove that I hired him don't let other people fall victims to this lawyer or his firm from his opening statement I knew I lost he trial the officer lied on stand and he never pushed back. Avvo reach out to me and I'll prove that I hired him

Would hire again

I so very appreciate everything this law firm did for me and my case. Cassandra and/or Corey were easily reached when trying to communicate and/or got back to me promptly. My questions and concerns were addressed to satisfaction. Corey is a great attorney, very personable but absolutely professional.... I would definitely hire again if I were ever to need legal services again.

Communication is the key...

I originally hired another lawyer from Corey's firm to represent my husband at his prelim hearing and unfortunately he was too expensive for me to hire for the next phase of this process. We were very pleased with this lawyer. The main issue I had with Corey was communication. My husband was remanded... without bail so every thing had to go through me. Then we would be told Corey was going to the prison for a visit and it would not happen and I would not be contacted to explain and forward the info as to when he thought he would make it out there. Once a pre-trial conference was rescheduled and I was never notified. I took off work, was sitting in the courtroom and a bailiff is the one who told me it was rescheduled. I explained even if it was rescheduled late the previous day it takes 2 min to send a email. It wasn't until I freaked out and explained this is our lives, this man is a pop pop, husband, father and is very much loved and I need things to change. So after I had this discussion with the office manager, the communication was excellent and I was very pleased with Corey after that. He always answered my emails almost immediately and either he or his paralegal would return my calls very promptly. I feel Corey listened to what my husband wanted and he did his best to get those results. Corey got my husband the best possible outcome despite the extenuating circumstances that played against him. I feel Corey is a newer lawyer but he is developing skill and gaining knowledge and over all does a good job. Over the course of our case Corey became more confident and if he remembers his clients are people and not just case numbers he will be excellent. Keep up the good work Corey.
