He has won record-setting verdicts in highly disputed liability cases and won the largest Texas verdict in a helicopter accident case in recent years.
Cory’s success is not limited to Texas. He has obtained many settlements and verdicts in excess of a million dollars all over the country. Cory has won verdicts or settlements in more than 50 cases for more than a million dollars. Cory’s approach of aggressively preparing his cases for trial ensures the best results for his clients.
Cory attended college at the University of Texas and went on to earn his law degree from the University of Houston, graduating cum laude in the top 10% of his class. In law school, he earned numerous distinctions and honors, including induction to the Order of the Barons. For his work, Cory has been recognized as one of the "Top 100 Trial Lawyers" in Texas by the American Trial Lawyers Association and selected for inclusion in the Super Lawyers® Rising Stars℠ Edition numerous times.

I endorse this lawyer. Cory is an absolute shark and terror to opposing counsel in any litigation matter. If I have a case that I can’t handle or I think it wil l get to complex for me to litigate, Cory is the first person I would call.
