Best Lawyer Around

I first met Cory in 2020. I had a couple of consults over the phone with a bunch of lawyers in 2020. I need someone to represent me in a very high conflict divorce and custody battle. When I called Cory, I knew it would be a good match. He didn’t judge me for my past or look down on me for anything. ...He took on the year and a half mess of a divorce. If I had questions on a Sunday, at 8pm, it didn’t matter. Cory texted me back and would proceed to email the other party’s representation. He got the best outcome for me in that. In early 2022, I hired him again for a separate custody matter. Cory went above and beyond, again, and got the exact outcome I asked for. He is kind, understanding, and quite honestly funny and laid back. When it comes to court and being in front of a judge, he is tenacious, aggressive, and most importantly- extremely prepared. I will hire him for as long as he’ll represent me if I need another lawyer. He is a fabulous person and lawyer.

Always trusted him to protect my interests

Cory stayed with me through a 5 year post divorce nightmare. Never once did I doubt that he was looking out for me and my children. In the middle of that five years, Cory also represented me for a separate adoption. I have given his name to many and would call him in a heartbeat if I ever need repres...entation again.

Cory Ricci / Mitzi Montes - A 5 Star Team for your Family

My number one goal from my divorce was to protect my son. Cory protected my son and was willing to bring in the authorities if necessary. I didn't meet Cory's family, but looking at the pictures on his desk and around his office of his family, I know he is a 5 Star Dad and a 5 Star Attorney. He wi...ll fight for your family. Also, Cory has a 5 Star Paralegal, Mitzi Montes. She was great with my many questions, notes, paperwork, etc. Thank You, Cory! Thank You, Mitzi! I highly recommend Cory Ricci and his great team.

Review 2021

Cory Ricci was a steadfast, rock solid foundation for which my family needed during a difficult time. He stepped in and advocated for our family, both in the legal arena, as well as providing support and compassion during this difficult litigation. His composure and deep seeded knowledge proved inval...uable in reaching a highly favorable outcome, for which we could not be more grateful. Cory Ricci is professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. He ensures each of his clients are provided the upmost respect and dedication, and could not receive higher praise for his representation.

Pandemic and Divorce

I contacted the Whatley and Associates law office at the recommendation of my pastor as I was looking for an honest and godly attorney to represent me. After visiting with Jason, he handed me off to Cory Ricci. Cory jumped right in and guided me through what was to be one of the most difficult time...s of my life. Despite all the time delays, due to the courts closing and offices closing as a result of Covid, Cory was always up to date on my case, responsive to my questions and emails. I appreciated that Cory would respond to my emails before the end of the day. I found Cory to be focused on the facts and was very good about not letting the emotional aspects of divorce overwhelm me. He was able to direct me towards an outcome, not that I wanted, but that was reasonable. I appreciated his willingness to fight hard in my behalf. He comes across as easy going, but in court, I saw him fight for me when the situation warranted. I imagine that Lawyers can get jaded over time regarding clients, especially in a divorce case. I appreciated that Cory trusted and believed me as the facts of the case bore out. I trust Cory Ricci and was very pleased with the work of the support staff. Through their perseverance and hard work they were able to find facts that helped my case. Their guidance, assistance and patience was invaluable to me.
