Highly recommend

The only thing worse than a custody battle is a custody battle throughout Covid. The courts were a nightmare and the process was so broken. With all of that said, Jonathan Corey guided me through it with poise, grace, patience, and professionalism. Without his guidance I cannot imagine how I would ...have gotten through it all. It was clear from the start that I could trust Jonathan throughout the process. Whenever anything seemed dire, he was able to calm my nerves by knowing the best play to lead with or react with. He did that all while being a human and showing empathy and understanding. I cannot thank him enough or recommend him more highly.

The best attorney I could find!

My situation was more complicated than usual, and I needed a well-experienced attorney who I could trust to leave my case in his hand. Mr.Corey was the 3rd attorney I spoke to, and I chose him to represent me right after an initial consultation with him. He was not only a smart, well-experienced but ...also a very nice and caring person. He genuinely cared about my situation and always supported me to help me get back on my feet. When I had to make a tough decision, he always gave me great advice and ensured that it would benefit me now and in the far future. Having someone who could look after you and remind you to hold your ground in emotional situations like this was essential during the case and I cannot thank him enough for what he has done for me and my son. I’m so happy I found him and worked with him. I strongly recommend him to anyone going through a tough time in life and wants to ensure that you are in good hands. Mr.Corey is ‘the one.’

Top-notch service!

I sought the help of Mr. Corey for a child custody case I was going through. It was a very long and stressful process going through something like that, but Mr. Corey was there every step of the way. He was professional, knowledgeable, and was great with his communication with me. He always advocate...d for me and always listened to what I had to say. I am very thankful for all the hard work he poured into my case. Definitely would recommend him to others!

Highly Recommend

Jonathan Corey was amazing to work with. He’s very knowledgeable and was always quick to respond whenever I had questions. Divorce is never easy, but having a great attorney definitely helps. I’d highly recommend him if you need a family law attorney.

Jonathan is a great attorney that gets it done with compassion!

I was referred to Jonathan from another attorney friend of mine. I interviewed a total of 4 attorneys before choosing Jonathan. Two of the other attorneys I interviewed were on the top 10 list for 10 years in a row. I was out looking for the best attorney and not looking at the cost. I found Jonatha...n very easy to deal with. He made everything easy to understand. He walked me through the process step by step and we strategized together on what would be best for me. He seemed very personable and very knowledgeable. My ex-wife & I owned and managed our own rental properties. We had a fairly high net worth and we had to split up all the properties & assets. The divorce went very smoothly, it lasted about a year. I was also having some major personal issues going on in my life (outside the divorce) at that time and Jonathan helped me on a personal level through that. This can be one of the most stressful times in your life and it’s nice to deal with someone who has heart and compassion for what you’re going through. Jonathan always represented himself as a professional. The guy knows his stuff. He’s also a great guy! I highly recommend him and his price is very reasonable compared to the competition. You can spend A LOT more and not get represented as well. I give him 5 stars!
