If you want a real estate attorney who actually picks up his own phone, call Corey.
I reached out during a time-sensitive and stressful situation where I was being asked to sign documents I wasn’t comfortable with. Corey took my call directly, no gatekeeping, and within a single conversation he caught issues in the paperwork that could have created real problems for me down the road. He explained exactly why in plain English, then laid out a clear path forward along with a backup plan in case the first route hit a wall.
Sharp, honest, fast, and genuinely invested in protecting his client. He took what seemed murky and confusing and made it so I actually understood and felt in control of my next steps.
If you need a real estate attorney in the Tampa Bay area, this is who you call. Can’t recommend him highly enough!

Corey is one of the very few good attorneys out there, and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation for real estate-related matters.
From the very first consultation, it was clear that I was working with someone who genuinely cared about protecting my interests and who is genuinely a good person. I was facing a stressful and challenging situation, and Corey was at the forefront, taking those challenges head-on.
His knowledge, attention to detail, and ability to clearly explain my options were paramount to achieving a successful outcome. Corey was always responsive, proactive, and meticulous in every approach he took with opposing counsel.
He anticipated potential issues before they became problems and provided practical solutions that saved me both time and money. Corey's professionalism, integrity, and dedication to my case truly set him apart from other attorneys.
If you're looking for a real estate attorney who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, responsive, and genuinely invested in achieving the best possible outcome for you, then Corey is that person. I would not hesitate to work with Corey again or recommend him to family and friends.
