Father's Right Attorney Throws Mother's Case

Women beware of this attorney. Do not seek his services. He will take your case and your money. But all along, he is a Father's Rights attorney and will make sure the father wins regardless. He is not going to fairly fight for you and will throw your case. How can a father not show up for court and ...still win custody of his children? This guy Corey Tallent is working for the dad even though he claims to be the mother's attorney. Run women with children. Run!

Best lawyer

If you’re caught in the chaos of a family or juvenile court battle, especially a DCFS case that feels like an unbeatable storm, Corey Tallent is the lawyer you need. This guy’s got the charm of a comedian and the heart of a hero—he could probably make a judge crack a smile while delivering justice. ... My own case? It was brutal: a 95%chance of losing, barely 5% hope of winning my DCFS child custody fight. It felt like climbing a Mount Everest in flip-flops, no oxygen with the state attorney, CASA attorney, caseworker biased and hinding true evidence and information from the court , and service providers all stacked against me, Bcz I asked question. like I was a villain in a movie. even though I’d never had a single issue with DCFS and never had any involvement DCFS and never abused my child. No evidence against me either. I was on the verge of losing all the hope, feeling utterly defeated. Felt like the court system, including court, favors DCFS and CASA,state over parents, truth, or evidence.felt justice system is super corrupt. But Corey Tallent stepped in, believed in my story when no one else did, and flipped the script. His closing argument was a masterpiece—funny, sharp, and so deeply moving that it hit the judge right where it counted. In a stunning twist, the judge removed/ fired the caseworker and service provider from the case! I sat there in disbelief, tears in my eyes, realizing we hadn’t just won—we’d rewritten the ending. Affordability: I reached out to over 20 lawyers, and they all backed away like my case was too hot to handle—too complex, too time-consuming, or not worth the fee. Then Corey jumped in with just five days to spare, like he was born for clutch moments. He worked with my budget, setting up simple installments that felt more like paying for coffee runs than a legal lifeline. It made the impossible feel doable. Hard Work: Corey’s dedication is legendary. He’d stay up late into the night, poring over details with me on the phone, then dive back in at 7 a.m. the next day. It wasn’t just effort—it was like he was personally invested, turning my chaos into a clear path forward. I’ve never seen anyone pour so much energy into fighting for what’s right. Communication: This man is always there. He answered every call, no matter the hour, explaining things in plain language that cut through my worry. And he’d check in just to reassure me, easing my fears and reminding me I wasn’t alone. Available seven days a week? That’s not standard—it’s extraordinary, and it kept me going through the toughest days. Why He’s Unforgettable: Corey advised me to be honest and direct in court, and that simple truth turned the tide. He’s more than a lawyer; he’s a genuine ally who listens with empathy, cares like family, and fights with everything he’s got. When I was at my lowest, he lifted me up, restoring my faith in justice and in myself. Corey didn’t just win my case—he gave me back my family and a reason to believe in better days. Since 2014, Attorney Corey Tallent has been a powerhouse in Chicago, dominating DCFS cases, family law, and criminal defense across Cook, DuPage, and Lake counties. His track record is as impressive as his compassion. If you’re facing the fight of your life, call Corey—he’ll make you laugh through the stress, cry tears of relief, and walk out stronger than ever. Corey, if you’re reading this, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You’re a true game-changer! And save my family from breaking.
