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.

Prompt and Professional

Cory was able to secure my divorce from my husband uncontested. He was understanding to my situation and was able to make me feel comfortable. Cory is someone I would highly recommend to family and friends.

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!!!!!!
