Competency, Honesty and Respect

After hiring and then firing two lawyers before I came to Cory, I finally felt I was being represented with competence, honesty and respect. I had a very complicated case with many twists and turns, and suffered much anxiety over the 18 months it took to settle. I wish that I had hired Cory from the ...beginning. I recommend him highly, along with his great staff.

The lawyer you hope you never need but glad you have if you do

After our 16 year old daughter was hit head on by a careless driver, who was in her lane, our first concern was of course her health. Once we had her stable we realized we needed help. There was going to be a lot of medical bills and a long road to recovery. I contacted a lawyer friend of mine. Perso...nal injury is not his area of expertise but I knew he would only recommend the best. He told me to use Williams Ford. He went as far to tell me that if he every had such as circumstance they would be the first people he called as well. When we contacted them I was out right through to Cory. He talked with me and his first concern was our daughter. Is she okay? He didn't pressure us to use his firm. He walked us through the entire process. Once our daughter was released from the hospital he came to our house to meet with us. Out daughter was wheelchair bound for months and he was the entire process more bearable. I was able to leave all the worry of the bills behind knowing Cory and Wendy had it under control. They worked with all of the billing companies and our health insurance and let me worry about our daughter. I was always keep apprised of all correspondence with the auto and health insurance and all of the bill collectors. They even made deals with the hospital to lower our copay due. They reached a settlement with the auto insurance that paid my daughter the full amount of the liability available. With Cory's expertise we never needed to go to court to fight for it. We only needed to go to court to have the settlement awarded by the judge. Again a painless thing. Cory met with us and we walked to the court house together. He then went even further to get her money invested in the best option available until she is 18. We can't thank them all enough for all they did to make the entire process so easy on us. We also can't imagine the outcome had we not used them.

The best personal injury Lawyer

Cory was very caring and kind to my needs in the case.He and his team went through every part of my medical file and made sure I was getting the right care. He is very knowledgeable at what he does and I would recommend him to anyone who has been hurt and needs a great Lawyer.

Personal Injury

Cory did a wonderful job answering all of my questions no matter how insignificant they may have seemed. This was a very scary time in my life and filled with uncertainty. Cory did a great job explaining things in a way I could understand and helped ease my mind throughout the whole extremely lengt...hy process. I was injured in December of 2009 and we finally came to a settlement agreement in June of 2013. I feel that I was extremely well represented and never led to believe any inflated ideas of a possible outcome. I like that Cory was always upfront and honest with me. I was not an easy client to have, I'm pushy and impatient, which doesn't help with a complex case that mine was.
