My attorney Mr. Machuca was nothing short of phenomenal!! Walk me through everything step by step took the time and cared that I understood the direction we were going. I asked him from day one to be a straight shooter with me and that's exactly what he did. I would recommend Cordell & Cordell especially Mr. Machuca to anyone!!!

Great service

Bennita was great at representing me and getting back to me in a timely manner. This law firm understands how to represent men who sometimes get the bad end of the stick.

I hired Mr. Underwood to handle my divorce and custody dispute. In the beginning I felt that he really cared about my case, but about a month after he was retained, I noticed that nothing was moving forward. In my "status" letter from Zach, he claimed my wife was going to be served with the divorce complaint by sheriff, but thirty days later she still had not been served. My ex-wife and I were amicable and wanted to work out our custody issues without the court and I explained this multiple times to Zach. He pushed me to ask for more than my ex and I agreed to saying that if I asked for more then it put us is a good spot to negotiate. What terrible advice!! Her lawyer actually had morals and it did work out in the end, but not until months of fighting and damage to my entire family. DO NOT USE THIS LAWYER!!

Please Take A Moment To Read: The experience with Cordell and Cordell was horrible from day 1, and I should have seen the writing on the wall. 1. I consulted with Susan, liked her and decided to hire her. After i completed all the paperwork, they pushed me off to another attorney. 2. I explained from the beginning that i would like to have estimates on time as we go along, John agreed, but never followed through. 3. He never had a strategy, all he kept saying was "this is how it usually happens" and I said to him over and over again, I am not looking for the usual approach. 4. There were SEVERAL questionable hours billed, including one where i was billed for an email he sent me, but we had already covered this information twice...while i cannot say for sure that hours were being "fluffed", it certainly felt that way. if you are looking for an average or below average firm and/or attorney, then perhaps this office is for you. But if you are looking for someone who is truly going to fight for you, then THIS IS NOT THE FIRM OR THE ATTORNEY! Thanks for reading :)

At a time of great confusion, hurt and the need for rational guidance, attorney Belinda Bullett has been there for me. She has allowed me control of my case and at the same time reeled me in to gain the best outcome for my children and myself. Thank you Mrs. Bullett for being there for me.

Stephanie Kelly was my attorney. At first I just wanted to file for divorce. I had not used an attorney before except for once years ago for a traffic violation. I had really put myself in a bad situation by signing a separation agreement without consultation. To top things off I was living out of state. Ultimately in the end Stephanie was able to give my life back to me by working out a deal with my ex and her attorney that was very much in my favor over the separation agreement. I give Stephanie all the credit for this. Simply put, she is very good a what she does.

My Case is being handled by Bennita Bullet and I can passionately say that while going through one of the toughest stretches in my life, I have been comforted immensely by Bennita. Although my Case is not settled yet, I feel with the utmost confidence in Bennita, that the outcome will be favorable and I can get on with my life. Fathers love their kids as much as Mom's do, sometimes more. Bennita and Cordell and Cordell recognize that. J. E. E.

I went in for a consultation about separation papers that my x-wife had made without me and Zack Underwood gave me straight forward advise without trying to set me up to pay more than I had to. He used to full hour to go over all the details, if I needed help in the future he would work with me and I would definitely seek him out. He was very professional and sensitive about the situation. Thank you Zack Underwood.

The biggest problem I had in my divorce is that I didn't contact Stephanie Kelly BEFORE I signed my separation agreement. I didn't have legal representation and I paid for it big time. Stephanie did represent me through the rest of the process and was absolutely excellent. I have recommended her to my male friends that are going through the same process. I wouldn't wish divorce on my worst enemy. Well okay, maybe there's a couple folks that I would. But Stephanie was great in handling my questions in a professional and timely manner. She made the process much more tolerable and took a load of stress off me knowing that I was well represented. The only problem I had with Cordell in general is that there were no lollipops in the conference rooms. If men are suckers (by their own doing like I did) during the divorce process, then it would be nice to be offered one by your attorney to make it all official... (sigh)

Very positive experience. Cordell and Cordell atty. Stephanie Kelly has done an exceptional job handling my case. Very contentious difficult case. Stephanie helped me put in place a separation agreement, custody agreement, and a motion to resolve harassment. A year later defended me on a suit from my ex seeking custody. We won on all accounts but really my kids won. Stephanie's hard work resulted in my keeping custody of two young boys, keeping our home, and financial stability for us to move on. Divorce when children are involved is the most serious of life situations - don't mess around. Very happy with Cordell and Cordell / Stephanie Kelly.
