Quickness

He was courteous and quick to work. He helped me get my first case 100% dismissed. I had him suggested to me by a friend. He is an affordable hire that gives results. I could not have asked for better.

Horrible experience.

We paid money to have him represent our son. He did not do a good job keeping us informed orrepresenting our son. We had paid a lot of money for very poor services. Then, we were supposed to get money back and he decided to keep our money. He was very unprofessional and I would not recommend him to a...nyone!

Dear anonymous, Since this is an anonymous comment I cannot respond to your post. However, I would be happy to meet with you in the office to go over your case and show you my communication records and billing file to show you the hours I spent on the case.

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!!!!!!!

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.
