HORRIFYING REPRESENTATION

DEBORD INTENTIONALLY DID NOT COMMUNICATE WITH ME WHICH RESULTED IN A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE... A CONVICTION. HE DID NOT ALLOW ME TO ASSIST IN MY OWN DEFENSE. HE CLEARLY DID NOT POSSESS LEGAL KNOWLEDGE FOR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES SUCH AS CLIENT ILLNESS, NOR DID HE USE VALUABLE WITNESSES AND EVIDENCE. ... DEBORD ALLOWED THE PROSECUTOR TO EXACERBATE CHARGES WITHOUT QUESTIONING, AND FAILED TO ADDRESS THE JUDGE'S BIAS AGAINST ME. HE FURTHER CAUSED NUMEROUS UNWARRANTED DETENTIONS BY NOT PRESENTING CORRECT FACTS TO THE COURT RE MY MEDICAL CONDITIONS. HE DID NOT DEFEND ME WHEN FALSE/INCORRECT STATEMENTS WERE PRESENTED. HE REFUSED TO ADVISE ME OF PROCEEDINGS, AND MADE DETRIMENTAL DECISIONS WITHOUT MY INPUT. THIS INCLUDES ALLOWING FALSE /TAINTED TESTIMONY WITHOUT QUESTIONING OR PROVIDING OPPOSING EVIDENCE AVAILABLE. DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!!!

This review was left by an individual I was appointed to represent when I accepted appointed criminal cases. I was the third attorney appointed to represent her because the first two could not deal with her. I wish she could better remember the facts and circumstances surrounding the excellent plea deal she freely and voluntarily accepted in open court. She entered a no contest plea and received a suspended sentence. This information is verifiable in the clerk's file, Cherokee County State Court Case No. 15M1963. I was often asked to take appointed cases involving defendants who had "fired" two or three previous appointed attorneys. I worked very hard to achieve the best result possible while providing compassionate and understanding representation. I considered it my duty to accept appointments to difficult cases and to see them all the way through. I did not shy away from doing so, even though she did not hire me and I did not choose to represent her. I performed my duty to the best of my ability, and the outcome was favorable.

Divorce

Excellent at explaining the legal process, quick response times, efficient time management, very knowledgeable, He is well-mannered, gracious, and polished but also very aware of the appropriate time to be commanding, passionate, and resilient. I believe he had my best interest in mind and counseled ...me accordingly. Cory was recommended to me by a friend. I have actually passed a recommendation for him along to a friend of mine as well. I would not hesitate to contact Cory again for any future legal issues.

Excellent Attorney

Corey is by far the best lawyer in Cherokee County. Had two experiences, one he was appointed. He treated me and my family with such care and dignity, that when needed again I retained his expertise . He is a straight shooter, no false promises. If he says you don't have to worry, trust him. You don'...t. He's never told me anything that did not come to fruition. In my eyes he's a humanitarian, dedicated to seeing true justice and fair treatment for us all. Iv since referred two ppl to him, they both had an outcome that I knew he could deliver. If you ever make a mistake or are a victim of false arrest, or unconstitutional treatment, no matter your circumstances this is the man you call. Follow his advise, its for you not him, and rest assured. He's highly respected by his peers and the courts. I'm sure his partners are as adventacious and competent, but he is who I know and trust. If you find yourself or your family members having to face the judge, keep this man as your lawyer, again following his advise, he can deliver EXACTLY what he says.

Honest & Up front

After getting a misdemeanor marijuana charge I started talking to several attorneys. Most would promise things or twist words trying to get you to pay them an unjust amount of money. There is only so much an attorney can do for you in the county I live in. Cory was alway honest and up front about my ...options. He ended up getting me the best plea that made sure my license was not suspended. He was very easy to communicate with via phone, email and they even have an online system to update you through your court proceeding process. I highly recommend him and his team @ Carver & Debord
