"Mr. Stark is the most conscientious attorney I know. He is a dedicated advocate for his clients, and his professionalism and ethics are beyond reproach."
"Mr. Stark was my adversary in three cases. He was able, diligent, honest and courteous. He got good results for his clients in each matter. Unlike a number of attorneys I have encountered who represent plaintiffs, he promptly responded to and served discovery, and aggressively sought out third-party witnesses and evidence. He is my number-one recommendation when people ask me for a plaintiff’s-side employment lawyer."
"Corey is a fine lawyer. He is aggressive and zealous in protecting his clients’ interests. He is ethical and hardworking."
