Don’t get your hopes up
Don’t get me wrong, he got one of my charges thrown out and he’s very knowledgeable, but he also makes things sound good and promising when in the end it turns out to be a lie. If it’s anything like me you’ll walk away charged with something you didn’t plea to, be careful!

Choose Corey. He's so easy to work with and got it all done. Highly recommend.
He kept me from prison. Done deal. Never had a doubt in my mind that it would all work out peachy keen. Never a hassle. Always on top of things. If you don't choose him for your court work. You're sadly mistaken.
