Better than imagined

I had already Experienced a terrible lawyer when going through a divorce. I expected all lawyers to be that way and was more than pleasantly surprised with Cory. I hired him to help me with parenting plan issues and other very sensitive matters. He was discreet, always available, And helped me to thi...nk outside the the box. It was also extremely helpful That he was sympathetic to my needs. He felt like more than my lawyer, he was a friend. He was always quick to respond and get the answers I was looking for. I walked away very happy with the job he did on my case. I hope I never need a lawyer again but if I do I know exactly who I’m going to call. Thank you again Cory.

After my second time using Cory, I could never put into words how great of an attorney he really is. I hired Cory a few years ago to help me through a divorce/parenting plan and we recently finished a modification of visitation, which was a huge win. Cory was very in-depth during our conversations, w...hich resulted in me feeling confident in being prepared for trial. He was incredibly informative and knowledgeable in every comment and question I had, but more importantly you could tell he was invested. We had many late night phone calls discussing things that could’ve easily been discussed the next day, but Cory cared enough to make time. During trial, he was incredible to watch and the team he has working beside him is unmatched. I genuinely feel that he is a bargain for what he charges, given that you get to have him defending you. But more importantly, aside from how talented of an attorney he is, he became a friend. I appreciate what he did for me and my family and I would recommend him to anyone I know.

LOOK NO FURTHER, THIS IS YOUR GUY.

I was very fortunate to be able to work with Cory on a complicated case I was going through. Cory was very helpful, passionate, informative, and a straight shooter. I felt completely at ease, knowing I had Cory to fight for me and my kids in court. He was very thorough in getting information and conv...eyed every point we set out to make. He knows his practice through and through and has impressed me very much. I also like that he was consistent with his updates and was always available to answer any questions I may have had, even when he was already out of the office for the day. He really does work so hard and is worth every penny spent. A+ lawyer, I’d recommend him to anyone and everyone. If I still lived in Tennessee, he’d be the only lawyer I ever put my and my family’s trust in. Thank you so much, Cory!!

By Far THE BEST Lawyer To Represent You!!!!!

I simply could not have made it through my divorce without the professional support and council of Mr. Ricci and the team at Whatley and Associates. I trusted them 100% and still do to this day. In the most difficult time of my life, it was comforting to know I could rely on Mr. Ricci and the amazing... team there. I received Mr. Ricci's name as a recommendation from someone who retained him previously. I am forever grateful that I received and used this recommendation. I do not feel I could have had such superb representation like I had from Mr. Ricci anywhere else. I was so nervous going into the divorce process. Mr. Ricci and his qualified and component team helped guide me through the most difficult time in my life. I cannot list all the amazing thing he and his team did for me and for the welfare of my kids during the process of the divorce. Because of the difficulty of my now, ex-spouse and her low life lawyer, it took about 6 months to finalize the divorce. I acknowledge that it could have taken much long. Even though the ruthless tactics of the opposing lawyer continued through the duration, Mr Ricci remained upright and professional the whole time, but without backing down from the dirty and shallow attacks from the opposing party. I was always impressed with his demeanor and determination in representing my side in every situation. I was able to focus at work and the other parts of my life during all this because I knew I had a great lawyer who I could count on. And I really love that he just did not fight for my rights, he fought for my kids rights too. I will forever be grateful for him for his sound representation. Because I chose this lawyer to represent me, I now 8 months after the divorce was finalized, can still have the ability to move on with my life in a positive direction. Mr. Ricci and this firm will always hold a special place in my heart for all they did. They may never know to the extent of my gratitude and just how much my life has been blessed because of them. I hope I never need to use a lawyer again in the future. But if I do, I know I do not have to look for a lawyer to represent me, I already have Mr. Ricci and his team on speed dial. 5 stars does not do justice in showing how outstanding Mr. Ricci is. He deserves so many more. If you need a lawyer to represent you, look no further than Cory Ricci , HE IS BY FAR, THE BEST lawyer to represent you!!!!!!

Prompt, Courteous, and Professional

I was privileged to retain Cory, not once, but twice over the past 3 years to handle my child custody case. I was very pleased with Cory's level of knowledge and professionalism. He was always available to answer questions and provide guidance to me when needed. He worked diligently to get the best o...utcome for my family without ever having to actually step inside a courtroom. You always hope that you'll never need to retain a lawyer, but I would definitely choose Cory again to handle any case.
