Very professional

Corey did an excellent job representing me in my divorce. He and his staff were great at explaining my rights as a father, walking me through every step of the way, and always considering how painful it was going through a divorce.

Fantastic Attorney!

I've know cory for over twenty years. I have went to him for legal advice for a variety of issues - including criminal cases and family law. His advice is always honest and frank. I have referred many friends & family members to him over those twenty years- and I have always received very positive fe...edback. I personally know he is probably TOO accessible to clients and works his tail off preparing for court. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great family law or criminal attorney- he will not disappoint.

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!

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.
