Posted by anonymous | December 25, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Probate

Wasted my time, almost lost me my case

I hired Ed Correy and his protege Dan Kim with a very limited time frame (4 months) to start my case of a contest of my fathers will. After meeting with him he convinced me that I needed to hire outside litigation because he did not work on contingency. But first he wanted to issue a “demand letter” ...to get the ball rolling. Waiting for this letter took up all the time in my case!!! When the finished the first draft almost two months later it was sent to me for approval. After I approved they notified me that the letter included information that could cost us our case and would need to be rewritten-this was THEIR mistake and I paid for it-thousands and it ate up almost ALL of my time. By the time the final letter was sent I had days left to file city proceedings and zero time left to hear a settlement offer which the other side wanted to proceed with. And it cost me thousands to have a revised copy drafted because of their carelessness. At this point they said I had no choice but to file suit with the time I had left, and they would refer me to one of their associates. For obvious reasons I declined their offer to send me down the road to some affiliate of theirs, so I hired another attorney that I found on my own and hoped for the best. Luckily things are moving forward and I still somehow have a case no thanks to them at all. And to top it off after around 10k in attorney fees to them which were paid they are still sending me bills!!! This almost cost me my case entirely!!! Don’t go with these guys unless you have millions to flaunt or they simply won’t help you. or at least that’s how they treated me. And furthermore they dropped the ball on an out of state probate knowing there was a dispute there which is now a continuing and costly problem in my case. I strongly suggest you look for a better option if your considering hiring this company.

Trusts lawyer | Jul 25

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have found Ed to be one of the best mediators in the region. His experience and grasp on the law is obvious to all and commands genuine respect in mediation. At the same time, his relaxed demeanor helps contentious parties move beyond the emotions to find a compromise that may be difficult for all parties, but is worthwhile for the individuals involved."

Trusts lawyer | Jul 09

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Ed Corey is as good of a lawyer as you will find anywhere. Yet my recommendation of him is not solely for his skills as an attorney; rather, his compassion for his clients and the ethics that he lives by make him a lawyer in a leauge of his own. Ed is one of the best men I know; and that coupled with his professional skills makes him a lawyer that should be on the short list of any client in need of an estate litigation attorney. I have worked with Ed, mediated cases where he was the mediator and have had cases where Ed was my opposing counsel. Without expeption his conduct in all three roles was the same: ethical, smart and efficient practice of law."
