      Review Cory Lancaster

      Cory Did a Great Job for Us!

      5.0 stars

      Posted by

      Cory was very helpful and knowledgeable. My husband and I needed a power of attorney for my father-in-law, and we needed it quickly. Cory completed the power of attorney in a very timely fashion, and his work helped us in caring for my father-in-law. We could not have made the decisions and taken care of the business that we needed to without the legal documents that Cory prepared for us. We are very thankful for his help and advice!

      When the time came for my wife and I to complete an estate plan, Cory Lancaster came highly recommended from our financial planner. Our experience with Cory has made us thankful for the recommendation: he has a patient way of explaining details in everyday terms, is good natured, and very detail oriented. Thanks to Cory we were able to get a complete estate plan and feel much better about the future.

      Cory was recommended to us by an attorney in Memphis to handle the estate of my mother-in-law in Tupelo. The estate was not large, but there was property involved along with numerous heirs. Cory made the process as painless as possible, even though it took over a year to finally close the estate due to the sale of the property. He was always responsive, and provided valuable counsel on not just the legal aspects of the estate but the family dynamics as well. I deal with lawyers every day in my role as the CFO of a large company, and Cory ranks up there with the best of the high priced big city lawyers. He is top notch!
