Johnson Law Group - June 2020

C alling an attorney for help can be very difficult to do. When people get the courage to reach out to us for help, we want them to know we care about helping them find a solution. That is why we trust Corey Cruz as our Intake Specialist. Corey’s job is to talk directly with our callers and their families in times of crisis in order to determine their needs. He does this naturally through his strong communication skills and attention to detail. Having developed an in-depth understanding of our procedures and goals, Corey is able to make our callers feel comfortable knowing they can reach out to us and be directed to the right person at the right time. Corey has a passion for helping people. “Family is a crucial support system, and I want to be there to support our clients’ commitments to their families during difficult times,” he says. Family law, specifically, is a good fit for Corey because he knows how to show compassion to people who are vulnerable and in pain. He explains, “Our callers deal with things most of us don’t deal with on a regular basis. My goal is to connect with clients on a personal level to let them know Johnson Law Group is more than a law firm. It’s also a place where people can feel comfortable airing out their issues and take steps to improve them.” As our Intake Specialist, Corey does not just take care of our potential and current clients. He is also learning the skills necessary to eventually take care of his own family law clients in the future. Corey has been studying for the LSAT and plans to apply to law school here in Colorado, which our whole team supports. Something else important to Corey is building and maintaining supportive relationships in his community. In his free time, he volunteers with Friendship Circle of Colorado, an organization that provides special needs individuals with friendship and support. Corey also has a love for basketball, which he cultivates by coaching a competitive youth team in the Colorado Lightning Basketball Club. This club serves as a bridge team for middle schoolers to get the necessary skills to play in high school. “In everything I do — whether that’s coaching the kids on my team or working with our clients — I put my all into it,” Corey says. “At Johnson Law Group, I want our callers to know that when they need someone to talk to, I’m here for them. No matter what you are going through, there is no shame in expressing yourself or letting people know you need help. We all need someone to hear us out, especially during difficult times, and I’m happy to be that someone for anyone who needs it.”
