Reviews

I hired Corey as my attorney in getting time with my son and fighting for my rights as a father and he did more for me in the time of 2 months then a previous attorney did in the course of my 8 first months going to court for child custody. Definitely recommend them to anyone looking for legal help.

Corey and his team helped me navigate a situation that caught me completely off guard. He was always firmly on my team, offered me support and advice through the process and responded quickly to my questions.

If you’re caught in the chaos of a family or juvenile court battle, especially a DCFS case that feels like an unbeatable storm, Corey Tallent is the lawyer you need. This guy’s got the charm of a comedian and the heart of a hero—he could probably make a judge crack a smile while delivering justice. My own case? It was brutal: a 95%chance of losing, barely 5% hope of winning my DCFS child custody fight. It felt like climbing a Mount Everest in flip-flops, no oxygen with the state attorney, CASA attorney, caseworker biased and hiding true evidence and information from the court , and service providers all stacked against me, Bcz I asked question. like I was a villain in a movie. even though I’d never had a single issue with DCFS and never had any involvement DCFS and never abused my child. No evidence against me either. I was on the verge of losing all the hope, feeling utterly defeated. Felt like the court system, including court, favors DCFS and CASA,state over parents, truth, or evidence.felt justice system is super corrupt. But Corey Tallent stepped in, believed in my story when no one else did, and flipped the script. His closing argument was a masterpiece—funny, sharp, and so deeply moving that it hit the judge right where it counted. In a stunning twist, the judge removed/ fired the caseworker and service provider from the case! I sat there in disbelief, tears in my eyes, realizing we hadn’t just won—we’d rewritten the ending. Affordability: I reached out to over 20 lawyers, and they all backed away like my case was too hot to handle—too complex, too time-consuming, or not worth the fee. Then Corey jumped in with just five days to spare, like he was born for clutch moments. He worked with my budget, setting up simple installments that felt more like paying for coffee runs than a legal lifeline. It made the impossible feel doable. Hard Work: Corey’s dedication is legendary. He’d stay up late into the night, poring over details with me on the phone, then dive back in at 7 a.m. the next day. It wasn’t just effort—it was like he was personally invested, turning my chaos into a clear path forward. I’ve never seen anyone pour so much energy into fighting for what’s right. Communication: This man is always there. He answered every call, no matter the hour, explaining things in plain language that cut through my worry. And he’d check in just to reassure me, easing my fears and reminding me I wasn’t alone. Available seven days a week? That’s not standard—it’s extraordinary, and it kept me going through the toughest days. Why He’s Unforgettable: Corey advised me to be honest and direct in court, and that simple truth turned the tide. He’s more than a lawyer; he’s a genuine ally who listens with empathy, cares like family, and fights with everything he’s got. When I was at my lowest, he lifted me up, restoring my faith in justice and in myself. Corey didn’t just win my case—he gave me back my family and a reason to believe in better days. Since 2014, Attorney Corey Tallent has been a powerhouse in Chicago, dominating DCFS cases, family law, and criminal defense across Cook, DuPage, and Lake counties. His track record is as impressive as his compassion. If you’re facing the fight of your life, call Corey—he’ll make you laugh through the stress, cry tears of relief, and walk out stronger than ever. Corey, if you’re reading this, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You’re a true game-changer! And save my family from breaking.

Honestly one of the best experiences imaginable working with this law firm. Attorney Corey Tallent & support with William helped me out of one of the darkest situations in which I couldn’t see the light. Although I’d prefer to never require there services again due to never fathoming having to fight another custody battle, they were with me from start to finish & EVEN HELPED MY PARTNER WITH HIS CRIMINAL FELONY CASE!

They successfully completed an adoption for me. Spoke with them over the phone initially no consultation fees, etc. they took the time to answer my questions. I called them months later they honored the same price they offered me originally. They took care of everything so well, we walked in the court. We were there for 15 minutes and it was done. I would recommend them to anyone. I also called around probably six different lawyers and went back to them. I’m glad I did.

I don’t usually give reviews/comments but I felt it necessary to give a review for Mr. Tallent. From the initial conversation - thru the entire process, Mr. Tallent was nothing short of exceptional. He’s very accessible and punctual, while also doing an amazing job of easing any worries and explaining everything in a way I can fully understand. I’d recommend Corey Tallent to anyone in need of representation. Definitely one of the more quality attorneys in the Chicago land area. Thanks!

So glad I chose Corey to help me with my case. From the very first call during a nerve wracking time. He made me calm down and reassured me that he could help me out and that everything was going to be alright. He was is confident in his work and knows what he is doing. He even went out of his way to go to court to change my court date due to a trip to Bulgaria that was booked prior to my big mistake I made. He was able to get me out of this mess without having my three precious children taken from me. I will be forever grateful for that. Also after my case was closed he called to check in with me and to reassure me again that this would be off my record. Also that he is there for me if I ever need anything not just as a lawyer but also a friend, that truly made me feel good. Greatly appreciate his support and service. Would definitely recommend. Thank you again from Diana Dimitrova

If you are looking for a lawyer who will truly fight for you, Corey Tallent is the person you need. From the moment we hired him, he gave us the peace of mind we had been desperately seeking in our daughter’s case, where resolution had felt so far out of reach. Unlike many lawyers, Corey is personable, approachable, and has an innate ability to make you feel heard. His dedication to the case is unwavering, and he made sure that every detail was represented with care and precision. One of the most remarkable aspects of Corey’s approach is his ability to articulate the entire case better than we could ourselves. His insight, calm demeanor, and sense of humor bring a refreshing and much-needed balance to high-stress situations, yet he has a serious, focused side that’s ready to strike when the moment calls for it. Corey isn’t just an attorney; he’s a strategist, constantly thinking several steps ahead, with a natural ability to put everyone at ease while keeping his eye on the prize. Having Corey in our corner is like having a dedicated, relentless advocate who genuinely cares about the outcome. His professionalism, wit, and genuine dedication to his clients’ needs make him stand out in a way I haven’t experienced with any other lawyer. Corey will go to great lengths to make sure your voice is represented in the truest sense. Retaining Corey was one of the best decisions we’ve made, and we are grateful to have him by our side in this fight.

In my experience Mr. Talent seems to be a very knowledgeable and hardworking professional. What surprised me the most was his availability. He was always there no matter what time of day or night even weekends to answer any questions I had. I was nervous about many things but he always walked me through and took charge when needed. He is very goal oriented and got me to the end of my divorce in about 7 months from start to finish.

5 stars. Top notch service. Corey came through in the clutch. Don't let other divorce lawyers stress you out more then the divorce itself. Call Corey.

A few years ago, this firm managed my divorce, simplifying the process significantly. They took care of document collection, negotiations with my ex-spouse, and even assisted in obtaining certified copies of the decrees later on. Their supportive and attentive staff made the usually challenging process much more manageable. I highly recommend them for anyone in need of a family law or trust and estates attorney.

Attorney Corey Tallent exceeded all of my expectations and gave me hope and strength during one of the most difficult seasons of my life. My wife filed for divorce after 22 years of marriage without cause, and I felt like my entire life was turned upside down. He counseled me, took phone calls after hours, and made sure I was fully prepared when the court dates came around. It isn’t just a business transaction for this firm, but an attorney that builds a case as well as a friendship! I highly recommend the Tallent law firm if you are going through a contentious divorce! I can’t say enough about how their team helped me! Grateful!!!
