Disorderly

My case was handled in a very professional manner,Cory charged me what he said he was going to charge, the price was fair and the results where exzactly what I was looking for. I would recommend him to all in the metro east and Belleville area.

Great DUI lawyer

Cory was nothing short of a magnificent lawyer. Getting a DUI can be and is a scary process, but Cory was more than available, informative, supportive and positive. I could reach him day or night with any questions or concerns, and he ALWAYS kept in contact with me. He cares about his clients. The in...cident was resolved with the outcome we were hoping for, and I was more than satisfied with his services. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs counsel!

Highly Recommended

Cory Easton has represented me in multiple cases over the last 12 years, ranging from a criminal case, when I was young, traffic tickets, and a child custody case. Cory has always gotten me the outcome from the trials that I wanted. He has always kept me informed and the communication with Mr. Easton... was never lacking. I have referred many friends to Cory and I have received positive feedback from all of them. His prices are very reasonable and comparable to other local attorneys, but his services are second to none. Over the years Cory went from an attorney I hired, to a friend and mentor. If you are in the market for an attorney, you will not be disappointed if you choose to hire Cory Easton!

FANTASTIC Lawyer who cares about his clients and their well-being. Detail orientated and fantastic communication.....

Mr. Easton is a fantastic lawyer with an outstanding staff!!!! Went through a high conflict/high court battle and he was very professional and caring. Matter of fact he started to help us when I was 7,178 miles away in another country!!! He was very concerned about the well-being of two young chi...ldren and making sure everyone’s voices were heard when other big name “lawyer companies” had said nothing could be done to help. My family and I are VERY VERY VERY happy that we hired Mr. Easton and his office. He is truly one of the GOOD GUYS and is well known in the local area to be a great lawyer! He and the staff are true professionals that CARE about everything that’s going on even down to the smallest detail. NEVER once was anything ignored, forgotten or unheard at all hours of the day and night. 100% attention to detail and doing the right things for his clients. In the end the case worked out perfectly and life is great. THANKS CORY!!!!!! I have recommended you often and will ALWAYS do so!!!!!!!

Great attorney. Highly recommend in your time of need.

Cory provided outstanding legal counsel to our family. He provided us several options that allowed us to make an informed decision on how to proceed. We were also very pleased with his fair billing practices. We have had attorneys in the past who seemed to over charge for hours that we could not r...econcile. Cory is very transparent in his approach, his practice and his billing. Most importantly, he gets the best results for his clients. We are 100% satisfied with Mr. Easton and would (and do) recommend him to everyone we know.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
