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.’

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.

Parenting plan and child support

I was given Mr. Corey's name by a friend whom is a lawyer for equine law and she highly recommended him for family law. When I met him he was professional and very factual and upfront and honest. Mr. Corey assisted me first with updating an old parenting plan to protect my kids best interest and su...pport their activities in August of 2014. Then when my ex decided to fight state update in child support in the beginning of 2015, I once again contact Mr. Corey and hired him for the child support case. He was very honest and up front, he tried to save me from the expense and tried to work with my ex's lawyers. He explained to them and myself that this whole case was only harming us more and we needed to get through it as soon as possible. He always listened to my concerns and addressed my questions. Mr Corey was great to work with even over the distance as I am located over 7 hours from his office. When we had the hearing Mr. Corey prepared me by explaining to me what would happen and what to expect. He helped me in knowing what they would be looking for and needing to know, he helped me gather my thoughts and not to be emotional but factually. He always defended me, my rural community ranching lifestyle and me as a mother. Mr Corey always listened to the facts and was up front and honest and truly a caring lawyer and I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of or needing an attorney for family law. Jonathan Corey is truthful and honest and very knowledgeable.

Highly reffered

Jonathan did an excellent job handling my case. He was very patient and empathetic dealing with and answering my many questions and concerns. He kept me focused at times that I was very frustrated dealing with the opposing party to make sure I made an informed decision with confidence. I appreciate ...that he was prompt in returning my emails and phone calls and easy to get a hold of. I feel very fortunate that he was on my side representing me in this matter . I would highly recommend Jonathan to anyone seeking an attorney in family legal matters .

Trustworthy, knowledgeable, insightful, efficient

When I was interviewing lawyers to take over my case (my last lawyer had to withdraw because of health problems) I had one tell me, this is really about how well you trust a person to represent you because it is difficult to evaluate someone on how well they do something that you have not done yourse...lf and you know nothing about. Johnathan Corey or JC finished my divorce that was over two years old when he took the case, it was lost in motions to extend, unreasonable demands and failed communication. It had come to a complete halt. From my first interview with JC, he was solid and his actions communicated that he could be trusted. He analyzed the facts and understood the issues, he laid out the options and worked toward resolving the case with efficiency and expedience. He always had the bigger picture in mind. He was straightforward, honest and didn't pull any punches. If he thought I was off he would tell me, if he thought that the other side was fair he would tell me that as well. He was extremely strategic with great ideas but also managed my expectations. The great thing about JC was that he wanted me to hold him accountable as well. He took part in negotiations with the other side and wanted me to tell him when I thought the negotiations were no longer useful, and he listened. I felt like he was ALWAYS in my corner, we were a team. This was a difficult divorce given that our assets and liabilities were not complex and our child was older. A couple of the lawyers that I interviewed were not very optimistic about my case and were intimidated by the firm of the opposing counsel, I needed someone who believed in me and my case and would represent me regardless of the opposing counsel's firm; JC was THAT GUY! A divorce is a terrible thing but if you have to go through it, you need someone who will work with you to complete it in the amount of time that is necessary without doing things that are unnecessary. You need someone who helps you to move through it and get on with your life. Jonathan Corey is that type of attorney. He knows when to negotiate but is not afraid to litigate. He is an intelligent lawyer who is wise beyond his years. I would hire JC again in a heartbeat and I recommend him to others without reservation.
