I have hired several lawyers in my past and had horrible experiences with them. From the moment I called Cordell and Cordell to schedule an appointment I knew it was going to be a different experience. Krista Jones-May was my lawyer. She was always responsive to my requests, and assured me from the moment I met her that she was going to take care of me. She was kind, and explained every step in exquisite detail. She was available to take my questions when I had them, and communicated effectively. The day of court I was a bundle of nerves, but because of her council I felt that I had it under control. Cordell and cordell make good on their promises of being a partner men can count on. If I ever need a lawyer in the future I have a reliable, and effective team I can count on.

17minute phone call charged for 0.40 of an hour didn’t exactly set me up for a good experience on my first billing cycle.

After poor counsel from a previous firm, I found myself contesting a judgement that should have never gone in favor of the petitioner. I knew I was right, and I was building evidence to support it in court. Previous counsel informed me that it could be done pro se, but the petitioner retained her attorney again leaving me with a judge that was not in favor of allowing me to represent myself. I could have proceeded, but was wise enough to heed his suggestion: enter Cordell & Cordell. With guidance from one of their attorneys, I was able to prove what had been evident all along; that I had been all but forced, by previous counsel, to sign an agreement that I did not agree with under conditions of false pretenses by the petitioner. Cordell & Cordell was able to bring out the truth of the matter and allow opposing counsel to understand that they were about to go to court to represent a fraudulent case. Suffice it to say no court presence was required to resolve the issue. Thank you Cordell & Cordell.. and Emily, you're the best!!!

My son was left in worst shape and and very broke when he withdrew from this office. Credit card maxed and still haven't met his son. They are not about helping you, they are about the money, RUN!!!

So this is what is going to happen. They will have you met with a high rated lawyer with years of experience. Then they will pass your case off to a lawyer that only has about 3 to 5 years experience if that. During my time with them the settlement was in error and asked for a payment of a bill that didn't even exist for us because they just copy pasted a settlement. Then when I asked about it, they blew it off. I'm sure I was charged for them to fix it as well. That's the other thing, they will use your fear of how the american court system treats men in divorce for you to pay 3 to 5 times more for subpar service than what you could get down the street. My advice is to go down to Johnson & Johnson. You are going to spend a quarter of the amount for better representation.

The consultation was cold and extremely brief. We felt rushed. We were shopping for representation not yet ready to settle on a firm. The two firms we met with before gave free 30-45 min consultations. Cordell & Cordell charged $175 which we were unaware of until we in the conference room. We didn't like how they conducted business with us in the beginning & felt like that would continue throughout the process. We went elsewhere.
