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.

In law school, he earned numerous distinctions and honors, including induction to the Order of the Barons.

Once Cory took my husband's case. I had no worries. He got my husband a generous settlement. The whole team are so professional
"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."
"I endorse Cory. He is well respected in the legal community and has made a name for himself in admiralty, maritime, and longshoreman cases."
