This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Brilliant, Experienced, Effective Litigator, Highly Recommend!

Cory Rein is an excellent attorney. He is handling a family member's case. He was referred to us with the recommendation that Cory does not overload himself with cases, he prefers to dig in and get to know his clients cases thoroughly, completely. I have to say that so far--that is exactly what is ha...ppening. Cory is incredible, and so is his gifted Paralegal Jill Jenkins (Hi Jill!). Jill is Very responsive. Both of them are very organized. In court, I have never seen an attorney more prepared. He had a binder with tabs to cover any single thing that opposing counsel mentioned, no fumbling or looking for things, no ahhs or umms. He is VERY prepared in court. It's obvious he is totally at home speaking in court, he's a very experienced and effective litigator. No BS, no wasted words, and Cory *completely* out-lawyered opposing counsel at every turn--so far. If you have a case unlikely to settle, Cory is the type of attorney you dream of finding. Thank God we were referred to him, and he agreed to take the case. Cory is our third and last attorney, we have an extremely high-conflict case, and he's managing it with ease, whereas the last one absolutely could not deal, even after being warned. Cory is unrattled, has no problem calling things out, being an aggressive advocate when warranted, firing off a letter in 15 minutes getting action(!), and gently pulling back when it's not in the case's best interest. Jill has a great sense of humor about it all, so refreshing. Jill also writes very powerful Declarations out of "word salad," so gifted. The best part about Cory is he literally takes the Reins (pun intended) and takes action, he plans for all outcomes, and he is not afraid to use the law and courts, none of this "lets not rattle the cage" bs. --Yes, please, I want to rattle the cage, I'm sick of being nice, I'm done *taking it* and I'm ready to dish it out.-- Cory is your man. He is several steps ahead, bringing forward strategies and motions while we are still processing what just happened--Cory is halfway to the next goalpost. He has really really great timing, and so far, has not missed a single trick. ;-) We have an ongoing case so I can't elaborate on specifics.

Exceptional, Careful, Detail Oriented Attorney

Cory Rein represented me in a divorce in 2010. He protected my interests and caught many details that might have slipped by a less experienced attorney. I was an emotional wreck and having an expert litigator on my side was very reassuring. His knowledge of Snohomish County court history and common d...ecisions helped inform our choices in mediation and we were able to reach an agreement by the end of the day, saving me many court costs. I greatly appreciate his work on my behalf.

Family Law: Child Support Modification

Cory is the best attorney I've ever hired (unfortunately, being divorced with children for the past 14 years, I've more experience than I'd like in hiring family law attorneys). Cory is the voice of reason, fair, and genuinely cares about providing positive results for his clients. I highly recommend... Cory to anyone facing family law adversity. Wish I would've met him 14 years ago.

Great Representation

I am a business owner and a landlord and Cory has represented me in many capacities and has always demonstrated first rate knowledge and quality of work. I would feel comfortable recommending him to friends and business associates alike.

Lawyer with compassion

I could not have been any happier with the services Cory Rein provided for me, he was above and beyond the call of duty. The thing about him that impressed me the most was his compassion and his sincerity ,always thinking in the best interest of me. He is a man of his word and I would use him again i...f the need should arise. I highly recommend him.
