She was invited to participate in a fledging program called “Preparing Future Faculty.” This was a rewarding experience that provided her the opportunity to hone her public speaking and teaching skills. She was active in several student organizations and presented several papers at international conferences.During her graduate studies at FSU she worked with several highly respected professors.

Amy Cores is professional, knows the laws, always made herself available anytime (even weekends), and took the time to explain actions in my case. Several times in the courthouse while Amy was not near me for a moment, other attorneys approached me telling me that she was the best in NJ and that I was in good hands. I certainly did not need the reassurance that I selected the right attorney but more impressed that her fellow colleagues spoke so highly of her. Also, her staff is kind, courteous and professional. I highly recommend Cores & Associates for your custody case.

My consultation with Amy was on a Sunday morning, proving to me that she is an unyielding (fabulously pink) workhorse. I went in feeling powerless and left feeling confident that she would advocate for me as well as my children. I was right. My case was difficult and of a delicate nature, she handled it with great care and certitude. That kind of support during such a stressful time made all the difference. Her staff was kind, responsive and professional. I am thankful they were on my side and would be happy to give reference.

Amy and her staff were great to work with on my difficult alimony situation. They are very easy to talk to, detailed oriented and up to speed on all the latest laws. My outcome was positive and I highly recommend Cores & Associates to all.

Amy Cores and Associates did an amazing job on my case. From the beginning to the end, the office staff was courteous and always available to answer any questions that I had. They were compassionate about what I was going through and made a terrible situation much easier to deal with because I knew I was in good hands. Amy was always available to answer my questions and guide me in the right direction. It was a very smooth process and took the stress off of me knowing that everything would be handled correctly. Arriving at court I knew that they had my best interest and everything was done very professionally. If you want the best - Cores and Associates is where you should look. You will not be disappointed. Very pleased with the whole process.

I will start with my bottom line first: you can look far and wide and you will not find a more capable, competent, knowledgeable, professional, strategically brilliant attorney than Amy Sara Cores! I was incredibly fortunate to find her to take on my case and I credit her with rescuing my four children and I from a litigation nightmare so dire that it felt like I was walking through the pits of hell. Ms. Cores was my fourth attorney (long story of lawyers not doing what they should have or in 2/3 even hurting my case). As soon as I began working with Ms. Cores, I dared to believe things would finally be handled efficiently and appropriately. I saw the professionalism and the dedication from day one. Only I have been blown away by how phenomenal Ms. Cores is! She got a handle on the case and turned it around in such a short time. Made me think that had I had her for my attorney from day one, three years ago when I filed for divorce, my divorce would have been over in 6 months. Save yourself the heartache and wasted litigation fees and hire Ms. Cores first. I cannot recommend her more highly! Also, please know that she truly knows how to handle bullies of all kinds. Many divorces go on way too long because you have one vindictive litigant represented by an incompetent and unscrupulous lawyer (true in the case of my soon to be ex and his buddy lawyer) and on the side of the reasonable litigant there is an attorney who is either also incompetent, uncaring, greedy or a pushover. You are safe from any of these concerns when being represented by Amy Cores- she will nip the nonsense in the bud, allowing the case to move forward and setting you free to commence your new life in the best possible standing. What more can anyone hope to gain from retaining the services of a family law attorney? It is priceless. A few last words of friendly advice from someone who made quite a few mistakes before retaining Cores & Assoc: look for credentials and do not make exceptions for lawyers who don't have them. Ms. Cores is highly credentialed, most of any attorney I found in NJ. Never use any attorney that is not certified matrimonial. Most non-family law attorneys have no idea what they are doing. It is like getting a broken limb treated by a dentist! Look at reviews (only reason I am writing this one is to help others), but allow for a few outliers. This means the attorney being reviewed is honest. I have known lawyers who have close to 100 perfect five star reviews and you later find out that they have any review that is not five stars removed. A truly great lawyer will have some along the way who have their feathers ruffled (like adversaries!). So, in closing of my possibly long-winded (because I am so dang grateful!) review: hire Amy Sara Cores and her exceptional firm, it will be the best decision you could make for yourself and your kids! You can thank me later!

I hired Amy to get me visitation with my kids. My ex Wife was refusing to let me see them. I had very little contact with them in the past few years because my ex had got a restraining order. We had to go to court a few times, but Amy had told me it was going to take a few court appearances. I was not happy about the time that it took and it was not cheap, but now I have my kids.

I was referred to Amy by another attorney because I had a weird legal issue. Amy spent over an hour with me during a FREE consult and then told me to save my money and not pursue the case. She told me the case would cost me a lot more than I would ever get, if I even won. I had met with other attorneys who just quoted me a retainer. Thank you for spending the time and being honest with me about my case.

Amy worked with me on my divorce. She was the second lawyer I retained and I hired her to take the case to trial and not settle. The first lawyer 'yessed' me a lot. Amy did not. She basically spent time explaining the law to me and explaining why I was wrong. It was hard to hear and there was some yelling by both of us. In the end, my ex-wife and I were able to reach a resolution that was not what I had originally expected or wanted. But I did not have to go through the time and expense of a trial. Amy is aggressive and intense and she is not for everyone. But she is devoted to her clients and fights very hard for them. I would recommend Amy to anyone who is serious about getting things done the right way.

Amy has displayed knowledge,caring,compassion and understanding for everything and everyone that is involved in these unfortunate circumstances. She understands what you want but more important what your going to need in the future especially if there's children involved. I do whole heartedly believe that me and my children have gotten the best possible outcome in this matter and I do attribute that to Amy's diligence,understanding and patience I have no regrets and would highly recommend her

In the end, my ex-wife and I were able to reach a resolution that was not what I had originally expected or wanted. But I did not have to go through the time and expense of a trial. Amy is aggressive and intense and she is not for everyone. But she is devoted to her clients and fights very hard for them. I would recommend Amy to anyone who is serious about getting things done the right way.

Amy has displayed knowledge,caring,compassion and understanding for everything and everyone that is involved in these unfortunate circumstances. She understands what you want but more important what your going to need in the future especially if there's children involved. I do whole heartedly believe that me and my children have gotten the best possible outcome in this matter and I do attribute that to Amy's diligence,understanding and patience I have no regrets and would highly recommend her

Amy Cores is professional, knows the laws, always made herself available anytime (even weekends), and took the time to explain actions in my case. Several times in the courthouse while Amy was not near me for a moment, other attorneys approached me telling me that she was the best in NJ and that I was in good hands. I certainly did not need the reassurance that I selected the right attorney but more impressed that her fellow colleagues spoke so highly of her. Also, her staff is kind, courteous and professional. I highly recommend Cores & Associates for your custody case.

My consultation with Amy was on a Sunday morning, proving to me that she is an unyielding (fabulously pink) workhorse. I went in feeling powerless and left feeling confident that she would advocate for me as well as my children. I was right. My case was difficult and of a delicate nature, she handled it with great care and certitude. That kind of support during such a stressful time made all the difference. Her staff was kind, responsive and professional. I am thankful they were on my side and would be happy to give reference.

Amy and her staff were great to work with on my difficult alimony situation. They are very easy to talk to, detailed oriented and up to speed on all the latest laws. My outcome was positive and I highly recommend Cores & Associates to all.

Amy Cores and Associates did an amazing job on my case. From the beginning to the end, the office staff was courteous and always available to answer any questions that I had. They were compassionate about what I was going through and made a terrible situation much easier to deal with because I knew I was in good hands. Amy was always available to answer my questions and guide me in the right direction. It was a very smooth process and took the stress off of me knowing that everything would be handled correctly. Arriving at court I knew that they had my best interest and everything was done very professionally. If you want the best - Cores and Associates is where you should look. You will not be disappointed. Very pleased with the whole process.

I will start with my bottom line first: you can look far and wide and you will not find a more capable, competent, knowledgeable, professional, strategically brilliant attorney than Amy Sara Cores! I was incredibly fortunate to find her to take on my case and I credit her with rescuing my four children and I from a litigation nightmare so dire that it felt like I was walking through the pits of hell. Ms. Cores was my fourth attorney (long story of lawyers not doing what they should have or in 2/3 even hurting my case). As soon as I began working with Ms. Cores, I dared to believe things would finally be handled efficiently and appropriately. I saw the professionalism and the dedication from day one. Only I have been blown away by how phenomenal Ms. Cores is! She got a handle on the case and turned it around in such a short time. Made me think that had I had her for my attorney from day one, three years ago when I filed for divorce, my divorce would have been over in 6 months. Save yourself the heartache and wasted litigation fees and hire Ms. Cores first. I cannot recommend her more highly! Also, please know that she truly knows how to handle bullies of all kinds. Many divorces go on way too long because you have one vindictive litigant represented by an incompetent and unscrupulous lawyer (true in the case of my soon to be ex and his buddy lawyer) and on the side of the reasonable litigant there is an attorney who is either also incompetent, uncaring, greedy or a pushover. You are safe from any of these concerns when being represented by Amy Cores- she will nip the nonsense in the bud, allowing the case to move forward and setting you free to commence your new life in the best possible standing. What more can anyone hope to gain from retaining the services of a family law attorney? It is priceless. A few last words of friendly advice from someone who made quite a few mistakes before retaining Cores & Assoc: look for credentials and do not make exceptions for lawyers who don't have them. Ms. Cores is highly credentialed, most of any attorney I found in NJ. Never use any attorney that is not certified matrimonial. Most non-family law attorneys have no idea what they are doing. It is like getting a broken limb treated by a dentist! Look at reviews (only reason I am writing this one is to help others), but allow for a few outliers. This means the attorney being reviewed is honest. I have known lawyers who have close to 100 perfect five star reviews and you later find out that they have any review that is not five stars removed. A truly great lawyer will have some along the way who have their feathers ruffled (like adversaries!). So, in closing of my possibly long-winded (because I am so dang grateful!) review: hire Amy Sara Cores and her exceptional firm, it will be the best decision you could make for yourself and your kids! You can thank me later!

I hired Amy to get me visitation with my kids. My ex Wife was refusing to let me see them. I had very little contact with them in the past few years because my ex had got a restraining order. We had to go to court a few times, but Amy had told me it was going to take a few court appearances. I was not happy about the time that it took and it was not cheap, but now I have my kids.

I was referred to Amy by another attorney because I had a weird legal issue. Amy spent over an hour with me during a FREE consult and then told me to save my money and not pursue the case. She told me the case would cost me a lot more than I would ever get, if I even won. I had met with other attorneys who just quoted me a retainer. Thank you for spending the time and being honest with me about my case.

A few last words of friendly advice from someone who made quite a few mistakes before retaining Cores & Assoc: look for credentials and do not make exceptions for lawyers who don't have them. Ms. Cores is highly credentialed, most of any attorney I found in NJ. Never use any attorney that is not certified matrimonial. Most non-family law attorneys have no idea what they are doing. It is like getting a broken limb treated by a dentist! Look at reviews (only reason I am writing this one is to help others), but allow for a few outliers. This means the attorney being reviewed is honest. I have known lawyers who have close to 100 perfect five star reviews and you later find out that they have any review that is not five stars removed. A truly great lawyer will have some along the way who have their feathers ruffled (like adversaries!). So, in closing of my possibly long-winded (because I am so dang grateful!) review: hire Amy Sara Cores and her exceptional firm, it will be the best decision you could make for yourself and your kids! You can thank me later!

Amy is very honest. I appreciated her professionalism. She explained things to me and answered my questions thoroughly. Amy and her staff are very pleasant. I definitely recommend Cores and Associates!

I hired Amy to get me visitation with my kids. My ex Wife was refusing to let me see them. I had very little contact with them in the past few years because my ex had got a restraining order. We had to go to court a few times, but Amy had told me it was going to take a few court appearances. I was not happy about the time that it took and it was not cheap, but now I have my kids.

I was referred to Amy by another attorney because I had a weird legal issue. Amy spent over an hour with me during a FREE consult and then told me to save my money and not pursue the case. She told me the case would cost me a lot more than I would ever get, if I even won. I had met with other attorneys who just quoted me a retainer. Thank you for spending the time and being honest with me about my case.

Amy worked with me on my divorce. She was the second lawyer I retained and I hired her to take the case to trial and not settle. The first lawyer 'yessed' me a lot. Amy did not. She basically spent time explaining the law to me and explaining why I was wrong. It was hard to hear and there was some yelling by both of us. In the end, my ex-wife and I were able to reach a resolution that was not what I had originally expected or wanted. But I did not have to go through the time and expense of a trial. Amy is aggressive and intense and she is not for everyone. But she is devoted to her clients and fights very hard for them. I would recommend Amy to anyone who is serious about getting things done the right way.

Amy has displayed knowledge,caring,compassion and understanding for everything and everyone that is involved in these unfortunate circumstances. She understands what you want but more important what your going to need in the future especially if there's children involved. I do whole heartedly believe that me and my children have gotten the best possible outcome in this matter and I do attribute that to Amy's diligence,understanding and patience I have no regrets and would highly recommend her

Amy Cores is professional, knows the laws, always made herself available anytime (even weekends), and took the time to explain actions in my case. Several times in the courthouse while Amy was not near me for a moment, other attorneys approached me telling me that she was the best in NJ and that I was in good hands. I certainly did not need the reassurance that I selected the right attorney but more impressed that her fellow colleagues spoke so highly of her. Also, her staff is kind, courteous and professional. I highly recommend Cores & Associates for your custody case.

My consultation with Amy was on a Sunday morning, proving to me that she is an unyielding (fabulously pink) workhorse. I went in feeling powerless and left feeling confident that she would advocate for me as well as my children. I was right. My case was difficult and of a delicate nature, she handled it with great care and certitude. That kind of support during such a stressful time made all the difference. Her staff was kind, responsive and professional. I am thankful they were on my side and would be happy to give reference.

Amy and her staff were great to work with on my difficult alimony situation. They are very easy to talk to, detailed oriented and up to speed on all the latest laws. My outcome was positive and I highly recommend Cores & Associates to all.

Amy Cores and Associates did an amazing job on my case. From the beginning to the end, the office staff was courteous and always available to answer any questions that I had. They were compassionate about what I was going through and made a terrible situation much easier to deal with because I knew I was in good hands. Amy was always available to answer my questions and guide me in the right direction. It was a very smooth process and took the stress off of me knowing that everything would be handled correctly. Arriving at court I knew that they had my best interest and everything was done very professionally. If you want the best - Cores and Associates is where you should look. You will not be disappointed. Very pleased with the whole process.

I will start with my bottom line first: you can look far and wide and you will not find a more capable, competent, knowledgeable, professional, strategically brilliant attorney than Amy Sara Cores! I was incredibly fortunate to find her to take on my case and I credit her with rescuing my four children and I from a litigation nightmare so dire that it felt like I was walking through the pits of hell. Ms. Cores was my fourth attorney (long story of lawyers not doing what they should have or in 2/3 even hurting my case). As soon as I began working with Ms. Cores, I dared to believe things would finally be handled efficiently and appropriately. I saw the professionalism and the dedication from day one. Only I have been blown away by how phenomenal Ms. Cores is! She got a handle on the case and turned it around in such a short time. Made me think that had I had her for my attorney from day one, three years ago when I filed for divorce, my divorce would have been over in 6 months. Save yourself the heartache and wasted litigation fees and hire Ms. Cores first. I cannot recommend her more highly! Also, please know that she truly knows how to handle bullies of all kinds. Many divorces go on way too long because you have one vindictive litigant represented by an incompetent and unscrupulous lawyer (true in the case of my soon to be ex and his buddy lawyer) and on the side of the reasonable litigant there is an attorney who is either also incompetent, uncaring, greedy or a pushover. You are safe from any of these concerns when being represented by Amy Cores- she will nip the nonsense in the bud, allowing the case to move forward and setting you free to commence your new life in the best possible standing.

Amy Cores and Associates did an amazing job on my case. From the beginning to the end, the office staff was courteous and always available to answer any questions that I had. They were compassionate about what I was going through and made a terrible situation much easier to deal with because I knew I was in good hands. Amy was always available to answer my questions and guide me in the right direction. It was a very smooth process and took the stress off of me knowing that everything would be handled correctly. Arriving at court I knew that they had my best interest and everything was done very professionally. If you want the best - Cores and Associates is where you should look. You will not be disappointed. Very pleased with the whole process.

I will start with my bottom line first: you can look far and wide and you will not find a more capable, competent, knowledgeable, professional, strategically brilliant attorney than Amy Sara Cores! I was incredibly fortunate to find her to take on my case and I credit her with rescuing my four children and I from a litigation nightmare so dire that it felt like I was walking through the pits of hell. Ms. Cores was my fourth attorney (long story of lawyers not doing what they should have or in 2/3 even hurting my case). As soon as I began working with Ms. Cores, I dared to believe things would finally be handled efficiently and appropriately. I saw the professionalism and the dedication from day one. Only I have been blown away by how phenomenal Ms. Cores is! She got a handle on the case and turned it around in such a short time. Made me think that had I had her for my attorney from day one, three years ago when I filed for divorce, my divorce would have been over in 6 months. Save yourself the heartache and wasted litigation fees and hire Ms. Cores first. I cannot recommend her more highly! Also, please know that she truly knows how to handle bullies of all kinds. Many divorces go on way too long because you have one vindictive litigant represented by an incompetent and unscrupulous lawyer (true in the case of my soon to be ex and his buddy lawyer) and on the side of the reasonable litigant there is an attorney who is either also incompetent, uncaring, greedy or a pushover. You are safe from any of these concerns when being represented by Amy Cores- she will nip the nonsense in the bud, allowing the case to move forward and setting you free to commence your new life in the best possible standing. What more can anyone hope to gain from retaining the services of a family law attorney? It is priceless. A few last words of friendly advice from someone who made quite a few mistakes before retaining Cores & Assoc: look for credentials and do not make exceptions for lawyers who don't have them. Ms. Cores is highly credentialed, most of any attorney I found in NJ. Never use any attorney that is not certified matrimonial. Most non-family law attorneys have no idea what they are doing. It is like getting a broken limb treated by a dentist! Look at reviews (only reason I am writing this one is to help others), but allow for a few outliers. This means the attorney being reviewed is honest. I have known lawyers who have close to 100 perfect five star reviews and you later find out that they have any review that is not five stars removed. A truly great lawyer will have some along the way who have their feathers ruffled (like adversaries!). So, in closing of my possibly long-winded (because I am so dang grateful!) review: hire Amy Sara Cores and her exceptional firm, it will be the best decision you could make for yourself and your kids! You can thank me later!

Amy is very honest. I appreciated her professionalism. She explained things to me and answered my questions thoroughly. Amy and her staff are very pleasant. I definitely recommend Cores and Associates!

I hired Amy to get me visitation with my kids. My ex Wife was refusing to let me see them. I had very little contact with them in the past few years because my ex had got a restraining order. We had to go to court a few times, but Amy had told me it was going to take a few court appearances. I was not happy about the time that it took and it was not cheap, but now I have my kids.

I was referred to Amy by another attorney because I had a weird legal issue. Amy spent over an hour with me during a FREE consult and then told me to save my money and not pursue the case. She told me the case would cost me a lot more than I would ever get, if I even won. I had met with other attorneys who just quoted me a retainer. Thank you for spending the time and being honest with me about my case.

Amy worked with me on my divorce. She was the second lawyer I retained and I hired her to take the case to trial and not settle. The first lawyer 'yessed' me a lot. Amy did not. She basically spent time explaining the law to me and explaining why I was wrong. It was hard to hear and there was some yelling by both of us. In the end, my ex-wife and I were able to reach a resolution that was not what I had originally expected or wanted. But I did not have to go through the time and expense of a trial. Amy is aggressive and intense and she is not for everyone. But she is devoted to her clients and fights very hard for them. I would recommend Amy to anyone who is serious about getting things done the right way.

Amy has displayed knowledge,caring,compassion and understanding for everything and everyone that is involved in these unfortunate circumstances. She understands what you want but more important what your going to need in the future especially if there's children involved. I do whole heartedly believe that me and my children have gotten the best possible outcome in this matter and I do attribute that to Amy's diligence,understanding and patience I have no regrets and would highly recommend her

Amy Cores is professional, knows the laws, always made herself available anytime (even weekends), and took the time to explain actions in my case. Several times in the courthouse while Amy was not near me for a moment, other attorneys approached me telling me that she was the best in NJ and that I was in good hands. I certainly did not need the reassurance that I selected the right attorney but more impressed that her fellow colleagues spoke so highly of her. Also, her staff is kind, courteous and professional. I highly recommend Cores & Associates for your custody case.

My consultation with Amy was on a Sunday morning, proving to me that she is an unyielding (fabulously pink) workhorse. I went in feeling powerless and left feeling confident that she would advocate for me as well as my children. I was right. My case was difficult and of a delicate nature, she handled it with great care and certitude. That kind of support during such a stressful time made all the difference. Her staff was kind, responsive and professional. I am thankful they were on my side and would be happy to give reference.

Amy and her staff were great to work with on my difficult alimony situation. They are very easy to talk to, detailed oriented and up to speed on all the latest laws. My outcome was positive and I highly recommend Cores & Associates to all.
