Michael did not give us any real help on The QDRO process, basically took our money, never returned phone calls when we had questions about the process and directions. We had to use our divorce attorney to help us with the whole process. It was the worst decision to hire him for legal services!!!! I should have known better when he wanted all of the money up front! Took over 1 month to get it all done then again no help in the end.

Did not clearly explain the QDRO process and continued to work with a legal team that did not represent me

Michael worked for Cordell/Cordell last year when I hired him. He lied, misrepresented, colluded with opposing counsel, over-billed, and ultimately withdrew from my case before my court date. I was alone without representation on my day and got slayed.

Michael represented me in a family law case and at first he seemed great. Don't let his smooth talking and confidence fool you, we got slammed in mediation. Michael represented me about 4 years ago and in the last 4 years I have learned a lot. First rule of mediation, DONT DO MEDIATION FOR 10 HOURS. A simple rule I didn't know at the time, but Michael should have. You make dumb choices when all you can think about is leaving. Further, he was unwilling to explore accusations being thrown my way and see how we could formulate a defense. The relationship between my ex and I was toxic and there was abuse from both sides, but because I was honest and owned my misdeeds, he decided it was best for our case for us to lie down and agree to her terms. My father in law, who primarily practices criminal defense, was appalled that we agreed to supervised visitation. Save yourself the trouble and go with someone else.
