Corey Riley

Corey represents individuals and organizations in state and federal litigation, under investigation, civil and criminal, trial and appeal. Much of his practice is devoted to exposing civil rights violations and helping clients who have suffered the loss of loved ones in cases involving wrongful death. He also represents clients in complex civil, class action, and multi-district cases. On the criminal side, he has consistently achieved impressive results for his clients at every stage - before charges are filed through trial.

Corey began working at Deiss Law during law school, where he was on Law Review and during which he spent summers with the Hopi Public Defender in Keams Canyon, Arizona, and the Colorado State Public Defender in Montezuma County, Colorado.

He lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, with his wife and dogs.
