I called for a consultation and legal aid sound confused and not confident on any information. Sounds like a scam artist. 10/7/19

My local attorneys were very good at educating me and helped me to negotiate a fair settlement. But I would never use Cordell and Cordell again for any legal services. Mostly due to the corporate/franchise structure. I paid cash into my account, and had a sizable sum of money due back to me. I closed my account on Nov 5th, and was told I that I would receive a check in the mail as “soon” corporate accounting. It took nearly 3 weeks for my check to be sent out, and I was unaware that the check was certified(had I known would have just scheduled a pick up at post office). Looks like postal service aided in the mess, as I never got the notice that I had an attempted delivery. And as you may imagine, a nearly divorced man being gouged by his ex could probably use a months worth of income right before Christmas, right? Well here we are on December 27th and I still have no check, and was just told that the process is basically going to continue to drag out until the check is retrieved and processed by accounting(yeah right?). All these lawyers are as good as the other. Best bet is to stay with a local privately owned firm...at least that is what I will do from now on

I listen to the radio ads for the year and thought I'd call. Should have known better.

Zach Underwood was a fantastic attorney! I can't say enough good things about Zach. He professionally represented me with my divorce. He listened to me, was attentive and provided me with sound advice regarding my family and my life (after divorce). I highly recommend Zach Underwood and the attorneys at Cordell & Cordell.

Yeah they just charged me a disabled Veteran for a consultation $100 and then they told me they couldn’t help me

This review is long overdue and I have to say I'm surprise to see this negative comments about the firm. On my part I'm extremely grateful to have chose them to representing me on my custody fight. Thanks to attorney Zach Underwood I was able to obtain primary custody of my daughter now after a year I dont regret anything I have to pay this firm for their professional services Zach was very straightforward in every aspect He keep me updated the in the whole process And always keep a positive and friendly attitude towars me. I feel I can count on him as a friend And he didnt let me down we won our case I strongly recommend this firm to anyone

Could not have had a worst experience. The first day I showed up for the consult Goodman said she hadn’t even looked at my file. She led me into a mediation that cost 10K and if I would have signed would have set me back for life. Her advice was simply awful. The opposing attorney constantly write slanderous emails about me and Goodman never stood up for me. Cordell is a sweat shop that could care less about the client. I guess that’s what I get for picking an attorney based on a radio add. Thanks goodness I found a great Charlotte attorney who cleaned up the mess Goodman created and got me a fair deal.

He gave tough, sound advice. I was in the right, she had cheated. I worked, she didn’t. She changed the locks, I didn’t. Long story short, I wanted things to end peacefully, but also get what I deserved (everything I own and worked for). He did just that. No alimony, signed away rights to house. Well done. He is not needed if you and your soon-to-be-ex are peaceful; if that is the case you can handle divorce yourself. When you are dealing with crazy, you are the good guy, and the system works against you....he fights for your rights.

Cordell and Cordell overbilled and underperformed. They failed to present a cogent argument, failed to properly question witnesses, and failed to properly prepare for the case. What they DIDN'T fail to do was charge me for documents that were not even necessary. The last straw was being charged over $300 to review a basic 5 line document. That's right - 5 measly lines. When I tried to lodge a complaint, I was at first ignored, then told they had done nothing wrong. Find another attorney, these guys don't care. Note: my attorney was John Machuca.

RIP off stay away. They just want your $$$$. Robbed me for 13k and never even finished the job. DO NOT DEAL WITH THESE HACKS.

The attorneys and paralegals in this firm really care about their clients. They always keep me updated and give me a 30-day review every month. I can email or call and someone will get back with me as soon as possible. Men, they are truly our friend when it comes to separation and divorce assistance. To me, they are the BEST! William Cary NC
