Exceptional attorney

Cory represented me through a very challenging and contentious divorce process. Throughout the process, Cory provided sound and compassionate guidance that helped greatly in coming to an equitable resolution. Cory always had the interest of our child front and center in her guidance and that was ve...ry clear to both parties. Cory has my highest possible recommendation for anyone seeking an attorney for family matters or beyond. .

Exceptional Attorney

I have had the distinct pleasure of being the recipient of Cory Goriup’s expert legal counsel since 2003. In 1999, I ill advisedly completed divorce proceedings without seeking legal representation. As a result, I was legally bound to an unfavorable judgment that severely limited access to my the...n, five year old daughter. After years of mounting frustration, I sought legal counsel to amend the original divorce settlement at Surovell, Isaacs, & Levy PLC where I was introduced to Cory. Cory took the necessary time to understand my circumstances and then, expertly renegotiated the conditions of my visitation and support. As a result, access to my daughter was expanded and greatly enhanced. Last year, I had to call upon Cory again. As expected, her cordial and professional demeanor immediately restored civility and pragmatism into the process of navigating a mutually agreeable divorce settlement. The result was that the divorce proceedings and settlement were concluded expeditiously and to my benefit. Lastly, having discovered that Cory and I were raised in the same rural part of Upstate New York, has made her as much a friend as a trusted confidante. For anyone seeking superb legal counsel, I wholeheartedly recommend Corp Goriup.

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.
