HELPFUL, AMAZING ATTORNEY!

Corey was a beacon of hope to my family at a difficult time of my life and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible. Not only was he able to defend me from the charge, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about most. He alwa...ys super responsive and helpful even after we closed the case. My family and I are eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Corey Riordan!

Professional, punctual, and an outstanding defense attorney

I hired Corey following an incident that resulted in a few misdemeanor charges. Luckily they weren’t very serious, but it was and has been stressful to deal with. I had been dealing with some prolonged issues related to my having a mental health diagnosis, and Corey was able to level with the prosecu...tion to get me into a deferred agreement with the court. My charges should be dismissed upon completing the court’s terms and conditions of that agreement, and I’m not sure my case would have gone this direction without having hired Corey. 100% would hire him again if I had to do it all over, without question. Every step of the way, Corey has been there to make sure we have what we need to protect my best interests. From the start, he was highly proactive and got in touch with the prosecutor to see what options we had. And it was obvious he genuinely cared about doing everything possible to get the best outcome for my case. From there forward, he has maintained regular contact to make sure there aren’t any doubts about getting my case dismissed. All I have to do is follow the agreement, and hopefully in the future this won’t have adverse effects on my life. Within 6 months I found an employer willing to let me continue the career path I had been on previously, so I can already say that having the deferred adjudication has led to stronger prospects for my life than I’d perhaps have had without it. I’ll be honest, it’s been a frustrating process at times. And Corey has been there to listen when I’ve had concerns, and it’s been great to get his unbiased perspective when I need it. Legal expenses aren’t exactly cheap; it doesn’t matter where you look. But it’s a no brainer investment when you consider how bad your situation could potentially get without the “right” representation. Corey provides a much higher level of service than what I feel like I’d have gotten elsewhere, and you should definitely hire him should you need an outstanding criminal defense attorney in your corner.

Awesome!

Corey is such a amazing attorney! We started working together in the middle of my case and the transfer from my prior attorney to him was easy. Corey was ALWAYS available to answer any and all questions that I had and if he wasn't available at the moment he would always contact me before the end of d...ay. He is very professional, kind, understanding, and makes sure EVERY little detail is accounted for and things go the way they are supposed to. I highly recommend him!!

Corey Riordan Review

After finding myself in a particularly difficult situation and not knowing what to do, I found Gravis law. Setting up the appointment was simple but my stress in doing so was pretty high. After meeting with Corey, and listening to him I walked out feeling much better about the process I was about... to get into. Corey always made time to answer my questions, and explain all my options. At times we had shared frustration with how the case was proceeding, and I always felt Corey had my best interests front and center. He handled all of the barriers that came up swiftly and to the best of his ability. I truly believe that hiring Corey was the reason my case was successful. I cannot say enough about Corey and the Gravis Law Firm.

Excellent attorney

He took over the case after it already started and he was great. He kept in contact with me, returned calls in a short time period when he missed them, had advice for me about all my questions, and even made sure other were doing what they were supposed to. He was very supportive through my whole cas...e. Can't think of a better attorney to have.
