Kory Salomone

After earning a degree in Cinema and Photography, Kory began his career in the film industry in New York City, working full time on major motion pictures and television shows.  He spent ten years traveling the country and managing numerous camera departments, which gave him the foundational skills needed to coordinate the efforts of many parties toward a common goal.

Having successfully accomplished one career goal, Kory determined to accomplish another.  Motivated by intellectual curiosity and a desire to work closer to home, Kory completed his legal education at Pace University, earning his Juris Doctor degree with a special focus on environmental law and land use.  He passed the bar in both New York and Connecticut, three months after the birth of his first daughter.  For over a decade, Kory worked at a boutique law firm in Westchester County specializing in land use and zoning.  He then established The Law Office of Kory Salomone, P.C. with a vision of better serving a wide range of clients with varied, complex legal needs.
