Do not hire this man

Mr. Blalock mishandled my divorce. He was unresponsive, unreliable, untrustworthy and uninformed. All he seemed able to do is file motions when my ex blatantly ignored every judicial order. He all but ceased to do anything when I couldn't pay my bill because he couldn't secure my financial support. H...is firm lost 30K when I had to declare bankruptcy. If he's no longer with them it's because he deserved being fired.

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!

My Recent Divorce.

To: AVVO Re: Cory Blalock, Attorney From: Matt, Recent client Throughout the weeks of my recent divorce, I found the services of my attorney, Cory J. Blalock, to be the one area of my life that did not seem to be going to pieces. Mr. Blalock’s knowledge of divorce and child custod...y laws kept me informed about the legal aspects of the divorce steps taking place, but, more importantly, his prompt responses to my almost daily e-mails or phone calls helped to keep me grounded as complications kept arising in the parenting plans being established. With my primary concern throughout everything being the well-being of my then Five-year-old daughter, I felt a sense of confidence in Mr. Blalock’s ability to foresee potential custody issues that might have developed into problems for my child’s future security. At all times throughout the divorce process, I felt I could (and I did) count on my attorney’s guidance to keep my decisions focused on my child.

Visitation and Child Support for I. Mason

I've had various attorneys, and I was so discouraged and disappointed by what they accomplished, their follow up and lack of empathy left me bewildered. I felt like I had no true advocate. Cory helped me reestablish visitation, helped reduce my monthly payments, so that it was fair and in the best in...terest of my son. When meeting Cory, I feel that I secured an attorney that fought for my rights and helped me reestablish a connection with my son. So that I was no longer being a victim of personality conflicts when it came to visitation. He's a terrific lawyer and a wonderful human being. This man will fight for you. When we met, I was broken and afraid of the court system. Having him as my attorney, gives me all the confidence in the world.

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....
