I am very thankful for all the help and support that I received from Ravelle Smith. He took a very difficult situation and helped me find a reasonable solution. He always protected my child and myself. I could not be more pleased.

i used him a few years ago when he was with another firm. I was totally upset with the service he provided and how he behaved when I fired him from my case. In my opinion he is totally unprofessional and is the personification of the slimy lawyer just out to run up your bill.

Ravelle Smith represented me on two occassions. He was originally given the case at the last minute by another Attorney that had a conflict in schedule with my court date. I was amazed at how knowledgable he was regarding my case with such a short time to prepare. He was my third Attorney and the only one that I felt did a great job!! He represented me with professionalism and tenacity. My entire family was very impressed by his presentation of my case in court. The outcome was more than I expected. We won on all counts. I highly recommend Ravelle and would continue to count on him for any future legal needs.

Ravelle has represented me twice against my ex-husband on multiple contempt charges. He has done a wonderful job each time and we have walked away with everything we asked for. I have retained him a 3rd time to fight a custody suit my ex has filed in order to get his child support reduced.

I had received several attorney pamphlets in the mail and I was unsure as to which one to call. Attorney Smith's pamphelt caught my attorney and I sent his office an e-mail and I received a response back promptly. Attorney Smith handled my nasty divorce/child custody case and he did it with my best interest and he is truly a fighter. You want a fighter in your corner. I highly recommend Attorney Smith to handle your legal needs.

I think he is an excellent lawyer. He knows his stuff and is very knowlegable. I had a difficult divorce and my legal issues have been going on for about 3 years now. He has been there every step of the way keeping me informed with what is next . I would highly recommend him. I too believe he has gotten a bad wrap from is association with Cordell & Cordell in the past.

I had an extremely difficult divorce. There was no part of it that was amicable, and my ex was prepared to fight it out to the bitter end for money and custody.
What I needed most was an engaged, understanding lawyer who would listen to me and do what was possible and advise what was not.
Ravelle pulled off a near-miracle. The case settled in mediation without getting to court. I ended up with full custody of my two children, some monthly child support and a reasonable distribution of assets. It was what I was hoping for, and more than I thought possible.
I would absolutely recommend Ravelle.
I am a Georgia resident... and I'm the DAD.

I would highly advise you to fire this person as soon as you can. He not only ruined my case, but they over charged me and had no care in the world about my case. DO NOT USE THEM CORDELL AND CORDELL.

Ravelle actually gets a bad rap because of the firm he worked for. I hired him to help me in my divorce and he was pretty good. Though the firm was pretty expensive, I can't complain at all about the guy's abilities.

The firm Cordell and Cordell is without a doubt the worst experience I had in dealing with a lawfirm. I had to fire Ravelle from my case. I lost a TON of money. The only reason I gave him 5 stars for responsiveness is because he charged every time he replied, and he was quick to do that.
