Quality Service

Kori met with us and created multiple documents for us. She was very professional and respectful of our wishes. She was extremely personable, friendly, and easy to work with. Papers were filed in a very timely manner. We are very pleased. HIGHLY recommend!

Wonderful Experience

Kori took the time to listen to my situation and offer a few different options for me to consider. She was very knowledgeable and helped me to determine the right path. It was obvious that Kori cared about doing what was right for me and the situation, and not just to rack up bills. She will be my fi...rst call in the future when I have estate/probate questions or if any of my friends are looking for this type of help.

Couldn't hope for a better lawyer.

I'm not sure where to begin with how wonderful Kori is to work with. Originally I hired her to work with my family to plan my Mother's legal documents. About 30 minutes into the initial meeting for my Mother's business I knew my Husband and I would also hire her to take care of our long overdue medic...al/legal/final will and testament paperwork that we'd been putting off for far to long. Kori is above reproach in everything that she has done for both my Mother as well as my legal documents. It is evident right away that she lives up to very high ethical standards. I believe she is a true advocate for her clients. She was very patient and easy to work with. Her ability to work with my schedule was amazing, even during a global pandemic. I found our meetings took way longer than they needed to because she is just so easy to talk to, so well versed. I looked forward to our meetings as I knew I was in for some great conversation. Not sure how often one walks away from a meeting with their lawyer in such a great mood, but we certainly did each and every time. I couldn't recommend a lawyer with more fervor than I do Kori. I only wish she practiced in other arenas in the event we ever needed legal services again. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her right away.

Making a complex action easy to understand and quickly resolved

We had a need to change information on our official real estate records. Kori expertly walked us through the process and did the actual processing herself. Amazing and quick! Highly recommend Kori!

Excellent estate planning experience

Kori was truly excellent to work with. I knew that estate planning was something that my family needed to do, but I didn't know how to go about it or what was involved. Kori was brilliant at educating us on all our options and guiding us through the process so that we could be sure that our family's... affairs would be handled in the way that worked best for us. She was extremely responsive, patient, prepared, organized, and thorough. I am thrilled that we were able to work with her to get our affairs in order and ensure that our children would be taken care of should the worst happen. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for estate planning assistance.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
