Posted by Anna | September 02, 2015 | Child Custody

All around an EXCELLENT Attorney

I went in and talked to Corey about child custody & placement. That being a very hard thing for me! ( anyone with a child knows) and he seriously made me feel so much better about the whole thing. Very down to earth and has a heart that genuinely cares. He took more time out of his work day and typed... up some good points with me. If I were ever asked if I know of a good lawyer he'd be the first person I would HIGHLY recommend. I really cant even thank him for the confidence and help he has gave me (: .

Posted by Andy | December 28, 2014 | Limited Liability Company (LLC)

Responsive and timely

Attorney Mehlos helped me start my LLC company. I have not started a business before so I did not know how the process worked. Corey went out of his way to help me out and answer all my questions. He guided me through the process so I had everything I needed to start my LLC and make sure I had the... proper contracts and insurance to operate my business successfully. I am very satisfied with Corey's work.

Black top permit

He worked with us on a zoning issue for a black top plant placement and he was knowledgeable on this and he also got the decision that we wanted. I might add the proper decision as well. The zoning deptment was made to follow there rules as well as the state law which they were trying to get aroun...d. I was very satisfied the way he handle all the proceedings.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Corey since my first day of law school. We have worked on a number of projects together since that time. I was always struck by his keen legal mind and creative problem solving skills. But what most impressed me about Corey is his passion and determination to stand up for his clients. If you hire Corey he will give you and your case his personal care and attention and will not stop fighting until he gets the best feasible result. Recently, I was preparing for trial on a very serious criminal case when a complex legal issue came up at the last minute. I called Corey and asked if he could research the issue so I could concentrate on trial preparation. Corey dropped everything and produced a very helpful memo under tight time constrains. I asked for Corey’s help and he delivered when I needed it most."

He cares about his work and he is in the field for the right reasons. Corey is the type of lawyer who isn't satisfied with the "way things are." He wants to make change and he's willing to sacrifice himself in order to see that happen. He has my highest regard and respect."
