I had a fantastic experience with Cordell and Cordell. They were nothing short of going above and beyond for me. Each member of the firm that I was in contact with had outstanding knowledge And an unprecedented level of professionalism and experience.

It was nice having an attorney that made sure our end of the documentation was complete and submitted. It makes the other party realize that "we mean business", especially when there must be a continuance due to the lack of prepararation on the other end. Its a confidence booster and you feel good being on a winning team!

When my ex had ran off and hid my child from me for 8months, she was successful in getting her back into my life. Always straight forward with what I need to do even if I didn't like to do it. Went out of her way to help when she didn't have to.

Andre has dominated two separate cases for me. Highly recommend!

WOW..... I just read the last review and I have a completely different experience. Kelli and her staff did an amazing job with my case. All of my questions were answered but I guess I didn't need my hand held through the process. She told me exactly what to expect and never fed me bullshit just to keep getting money out of me. She was amazing at trial and couldn't be happier.

If it had been the simple uncontested case that my friends who recommended her had experienced (that I hoped I might have), maybe she would have been okay. It quickly became obvious that was not the case. I paid her a $2500 retainer that she claimed would take care of everything. She filed my case, emailed back and forth with the snake that my wealthy soon-to-ex hired and had me come down four times on my maintenance offer while opposing counsel stonewalled. She told me not to try very hard to get a job until the divorce was final. She recommended I not even ask for child support in lieu of college expenses (which, I later learned from more qualified attorneys, is ridiculously poor advice given the income disparity that would ensure he paid for college anyway, and she severely low-balled the child support I would have given up under her counsel too!) She had me betting against myself the entire time, conceding left and right, while his counter offers never rose to reasonable given our situation. And no wonder! I would quickly learn once I had adequate counsel, they probably knew that if Kelli was my counsel, they may well get away with it. Thankfully, an old paralegal friend suddenly resurfaced in my life and we discussed my situation. She was appalled. I just assumed it was normal to wait a week or two to hear back from a lawyer, to constantly be stressed and wondering what was going on, to be treated like you are a problem simply because you want answers to questions about your case, to talk to your lawyer only four times over the course of two months. My friend assured me it was far from normal and far from okay, and that I had every right to fire her and get the remainder of my retainer back. She gave me some names of attorneys better equipped to handle my high-conflict case and I ran. I got such awesome advice and found a new lawyer who is getting stuff done from day one! I was incensed though not at all surprised to receive Kelli's itemized bill full of bogus trumped-up charges for every little way I tried to reach her and couldn't for two months. I may or may not refute these ridiculous charges for work she never did, for such an inefficient job on a case that would've left me in dire straits if I had not gotten the great advice to seek new counsel to really fight for me. But I definitely will be thankful, even if it cost me $2500, that she is no longer my lawyer. Be sure your lawyers will explain things. Not ignore emails for days on end, not sit on the phone in silence as you express concern and uncertainty about next steps and just wait for you to tell her what to do, even though you obviously have no idea. Long story short: unless you just need to file simple paperwork for an uncontested divorce, RUN far and fast in another direction because this lawyer and her office staff don’t seem to have a clue how to conduct a strong contested case. Worse yet, if they do, they were so poor at conducting it that you wouldn’t know it, and they certainly didn't seem to care about the person, about making the time to be sure the client understands the case and how to make assertive sound choices. That is what you hire an attorney for, after all.

Hard-working, gets the job done. You definitely want Andre' on your Team!

He is a wonderful Lawyer & very easy/flexible to work with. He is very reasonable rates $, & I've never had an issue with his service or results!!!! I've used him for over 12 years and he is a great man and professional.

She and her staff were professional, friendly and efficient. I have already recommended her to 3 of my friends. She exceeded my expectations and had to deal with a very hateful ex wife. I hope I never need her services again, but I would not hesitate hire her a in the future.
