Amazing person, amazing lawyer!

Words cannot express my gratitude for how Cory handle my divorce/custody process. Throughout the entire process he maintained a high level of integrity, professionalism, compassion, and astuteness. Cory championed for me and my children and yielded better results than I was expecting. I'd recommend a...nyone looking for a honest and tenacious lawyer, call Cory Ricci. I hope I won't need a lawyer again, however if I do, I'm definitely calling Cory.

Honorable Lawyer and Man

This review took some time for me to figure out exactly what I wanted to say about Mr. Ricci because he handled my case with that much knowledge, class, and confidence; I could never thank him enough. My situation was an interesting one, but he took it on confidently and methodically. I called a do...zen or more offices trying to find someone to take on my case, and everyone I spoke with either didn’t seem to have the time, or they didn’t think my goal was attainable. My case involved my kids’ mental health and well-being, so I was determined to find someone that would fight with me. When I first spoke with Mitzi and Mr. Ricci, they were understanding and empathetic for my situation and immediately wanted to help. He knew the steps to take first to get things moving, and quickly! Time was a big factor in the beginning of my case. I trusted him so going forward, everything he asked of me, I did. And it paid off. He was prepared all the time, at every hearing and at trial. Mr. Ricci is incredibly knowledgeable with laws and is detail oriented and focused. He truly is incredible at what he does - compassionate, but also knows how to simply get things done. I would recommend him first above all others, to anyone needing a lawyer for divorce, child custody, or child support matters. He holds true to his values and what’s right. You can definitely put your trust in him!

Highly Recommend

Retained Cory to handle my unfortunate divorce... He was extremely professional. I never found myself having to call his office with any questions regarding this case, either himself or his assistant Mitzi were ON TOP of everything. They let me know in great detail what meant what and what to expect... throughout. Being new to this I was very scared going in but the entire staff made it much easier to deal with. Cory did EVERYTHING that I asked of him and at times he even advised me when to keep my mouth closed for my best interest which is something I've never been good at. Cory was very tenacious in the courtroom and made clear to the defendant he would not settle for less than what we came to court for. He went above and beyond in my opinion! Very personable, diligent, and organized. Also called after everything was done just to check on how life was moving forward. 10/10 recommend.

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.

Down to earth and wonderful to work with

I walked in scared, not knowing what to expect. My divorce kept dragging on because the other party would not corporate. I had a very non-typical divorce. In court, he’s there, he’s present, always on time, and he is so well prepared. Cory was there every step, answered every question with honesty, e...ven if it was an answer I didn’t like lol. He cared and he fought hard and got me the result my children and I deserved. He never once backed down and the day my divorce was final I don’t know who was more excited, me or Cory. Sitting in his office you’ll feel more like you’re talking to a trusted friend. His office and the staff are very warm and welcoming. I hope I never need him again but if I do no questions asked, he’s the only lawyer I would trust.
