Not Good At Anything Except Billing

Mr. Blalock did not like being questioned about how he was representation of me as a client. His standard answer was to threaten me when questioned. He consistently threatened me since he had no other acceptable answers. Although paid in full, he filled suit against me for fees that are no owed per t...he law firm stated policy. He accomplished nothing for me as a client and refused to communicate. He is great with billing, bills will arrive on time and efficiently. Clients are not allowed to question items on bills, if you do you are threatened with lawsuits. Avoid this lawyer and law firm.

Do not hire this guy! You have been warned!

By far one of the worse mistakes I have ever made was hiring Mr. Blalock. He didn't care about my case and was primary interested in running up the fees. I attempted to sit down with him to discuss strategy and he was not interested in what I had to say. He gained my trust by saying "I know this jud...ge, so here is what we need to do". Well, his suggestion turned out to be the wrong course, I ended up losing my overall objective and had over $10K in legal debt, in which Mr. Blalock insisted was fair. I would highly recommended against hiring this attorney!

One of the best in the business! Cory gets my highest praise and my strongest recommendations!

Cory came into the picture after my case was already about 7 months into things. He helped get a pretty horrible situation under control from the very start. My original visitation order was VERY limited, 2 hours every other weekend. Cory was able to get a temporary visitation order put through ve...ry quickly which got me much more time with my daughter. From there he guided me through more than a year of fighting my case. His expertise made one of the most stressful periods of my life easier to deal with. My first attorney was an example of how bad a bad lawyer can be, but Cory showed me what proper representation is. My case is now complete, and I have Cory to thank for getting me joint custody, fair visitation, and stopping my daughter from being moved across the country. I could not be happier with the results. Words simply cannot express how grateful I am for all that he did for me and my family. Do not hesitate to hire this man if you are facing a family law case!

Cory Is A Fantastic Lawyer

I hired Cory to handle my divorce and child custody case. From the very beginning, and always through the long process, Cory gave great and helpful advice, worked diligently, listened and worked hard. I have only compliments to say about him. He is a great lawyer.

Cory Blalock - Trustworthy, Knowledgeable and Effective

Cory helped me with a unique post divorce situation, and proved to be trustworthy, knowledgeable, and effective. After working with other attorneys on the same case that seemed to only want to drain my already limited financial means, Cory restored my faith. I will recommend Cory Blalock to anyone....
