The go to lawyer for Workers Comp

Thankful

Cory has been handling my case since 2016 and has done everything he said he was going to do. I was in accident on the job and was not getting the right help from a different lawyer. So I found him and he fought this long just to get me a settlement that he knew i deserved. When the doctors wanted to give me a 0% for my injury he wasn't going for that and was able to get me something. I can say I am happy with the out come. I will use him again or recommend him to anyone who's looking. Thank you again.

The go to lawyer for Workers Comp

Cory was amazing in assisting me in my workers compensation battle. After three long years (one of which I was not scheduled to see a doctor) the workers comp agency attempted to close my case, but Cory helped me fight and get the help and treatment I needed and deserved.

Attorney Cory A. Santos Sr.

Attorney Santos is the Attorney to get the job done. I hired him as a workers compensation Attorney, he is very knowledgeable and treats his client with empathy. He not only won my case for me, but he explains the whole process to you so you will be prepared, he has no problem objecting when the other Attorneys cross the line, with Attorney A. Cory Sr. it's a win, win for everyone. Thank You

Thanks for your time sir

He couldn't help with my situation but he did answer on the first ring and pointed me in the right direction definitely would call him if I needed help in his department most people don't answer their phone at all let alone on the first ring

Things I couldn’t have done on my own.

Cory has helped me from the start, pointing me in the direction I need to go. I’ve had a pretty much hassle free time dealing with my doctors and workman’s comp. Now, I’m scheduled for a spinal fusion to hopefully get rid of my pain and discomfort. To be honest, if I hadn’t hired Cory my claim probably would have already fell through and I would be stuck dealing with this on my own.

I had no clue where to even start...

There's no way I could have gotten anything accomplished without Cory. He was able to get things going in the right direction for me and there's no way I could have got anything done without him.

Cory did a great job with my workers comp case. he was fast and direct and got the case handled very fast , after i was getting no where with workers comp. If it was not for Cory i would have got nothing for my case. If i ever need a attorney again he is the guy im calling.

Versatile and Involved

Attorney Cory Santos has been invaluable to me as I learn the business and craft of screenwriting. He knows the ins and outs of the film industry guiding me through several pitfalls. Cory and I enjoy a collaborative chemistry. He's a big supporter of mine in another venue, and I'm always happy to reciprocate. I strongly recommend Cory Santos as a Nevada Attorney who cares for his clients.

Honest

I spoke with Mr. Santos about a potential personal injury claim. Unfortunately he was not able to help me but he was kind enough to listen to me for 25 minutes explaining my situation and corresponded with another attorney about my case and referred me. I truly appreciated the time he spoke with me. Most would not have even talked with me. Thanks Cory, Annie V.

Excellent Results

I am a retired criminal attorney. Cory handled a workers comp claim regarding my husband’s death. He did excellent work. He advocated diligently, kept me apprised of what was going on, and always answered my questions in a timely manner. He explained specifically the strengths and weaknesses of the case and more importantly, explained how he could overcome them. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Cory, Settled my case for the range in money expected. But he exceeded his duties by advising me on things that could have come back on me later had I not taken care of. I highly recommend Cory Santos.
