If you are looking for legal representation to listen to you, trust you, and fight tirelessly for you – I cannot recommend Attorney Chris Lyden enough. His stoicism in light of the turmoil I was going through was transformational, I’ve never seen someone say so much in so few words – and he absolutely crushed his delivery when it mattered. He shocked me with his ability to win despite stacked odds, and I’ll be forever grateful God put me in front of him. My family is whole b/c of his tenacity and drive to fight for what’s true and honest. Thank you, Chris.

My bf was facing 10-20 if convicted at trial. Cory did an outstanding job throughout the whole trial and we got a NOT GUILTY verdict. Thank you so much Cory! If you are facing serious criminal charges Cory is the man you need to fight for you. So grateful to have had him help us through this case. There’s no one else who would have done a better job. THANK YOU once again Cory.
