Cory's passion for the law led him on a journey from Chief Operating Officer of Grossman Law Offices to a practicing attorney.
Before we get into Cory's credentials, let's take a step back and see what makes him tick.
Cory has been with Grossman Law Offices since 2008. He originally joined our team to assist with the behind the scenes work that allows a law firm to function. It was during this time that he developed a passion for the law and sought out more responsibility. Before long, he was involved in managing client relationships and overseeing the firm's day-to-day operations, rising to the position of Chief Operating Officer. For most people, this would have been a successful career; but then again, Cory isn't most people.
Cory earned a Bachelor's in Business Administration from the University of Iowa. From there he earned a Juris Doctor from the University of North Texas College of Law, where he garnered special recognition for his oral advocacy and trial skills. Also while at UNT Law, Cory was recruited to work on the Joyce Ann Brown Innocence Project, where he volunteered more than 200 hours.
That Cory accomplished all this while working full-time makes it all the more impressive. If working 50+ hours a week managing a highly-successful law firm while thriving in law school sounds daunting, imagine accomplishing that while volunteering as a foster parent and maintaining a loving family with a wife and five children.
Why would anyone put themselves through all of that? The answer is that when Cory sees a person in need he will not stop until they get the help they need. For many in the legal profession, becoming a lawyer is about getting a job. But for Cory, it truly is a calling.
Every personal injury attorney in Texas likes to think of himself as tenacious, but very few have the tenacity to take on all that Cory has on his journey to become a lawyer. It's virtually impossible to put into words how competitive and laser-focused on winning he is.
Cory and his family reside in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Cory and his wife were recently recognized by their Congressman Sam Johnson in a special ceremony in Washington, D.C. for their volunteer work and for their contribution to fostering and adoption. When he's not working on behalf of clients, Cory enjoys wrenching on cars, shooting at the range, and fabricating all manner of creations in one of the most well-provisioned garages in suburbia. Cory reads more than any person we've ever met, and his literary interests include philosophy, economics, and history (with a particular focus on the history of English Common Law).
Lastly, Cory Prides himself on being available to his clients, day or night. His cell phone number is 407-272-4321.

WRONGFUL DEATH / COMMERCIAL VEHICLE ACCIDENT
Following a fatal 18-wheeler accident, the family of a deceased woman hired Grossman Law Offices to investigate the matter and report our findings. The family initially knew very little about what happened in the accident, only that the mother of the family was killed and that there was an 18-wheeler involved. Our attorneys mobilized immediately upon being hired, and, along with our accident reconstructionist, conducted a thorough analysis of the scene. Early in the case, it became apparent what had happened: The driver of an 18-wheeler made an abrupt lane change, forcing our client's car into the grass median of the interstate. Once the vehicle drove into the grass, traction was lost, causing the car to swerve back onto the highway wherein the vehicle then struck a parked 18-wheeler. It was obvious that our clients had a case, and they instructed us to move forward with a wrongful death suit. However, what was less clear is which trucking company was primarily responsible. On one hand, it could be argued that the initial 18-wheeler set the whole chain of events into motion when that driver made an illegal lane change. On the other hand, the second 18-wheeler was illegally parked in an emergency lane, in violation of federal statute, and it could easily be said that if he had not been parked there, the victim would have lived since the car would have just been able to come to a stop on the road's shoulder. Naturally, this fact pattern created an opportunity for the two trucking companies to point the finger at one another. Our attorneys aggressively litigated the case, never allowing either defendant to escape responsibility for their contribution to the accident. Further, it would be a monumental understatement to suggest that this case took a lot of effort to successfully resolve. Our attorneys took the depositions of dozens of people involved, travelling to several different states in the process. Further, we invested many hundreds of hours of man power into the case. Our philosophy was simple: if we allow the defendants a moment to catch their breath, they will treat the case as less of a priority. So, from the very beginning until the the case was resolved, we made sure that no time passed from one milestone to the next. Eventually, the defendants relented and the case was resolved on the courthouse steps. From start to finish, a case that ordinarily would take most firms years to litigated, was resolved in 13 months, due entirely to our attorneys' diligence.
