My main focus was to ensure my ex-wife did not try to move out of state with my kids. My attorney Stephenie Kelly worked with me and we came up with a plan to ensure I received both 50% physical and legal custody of my children. I feel that had we not been proactive and standing strong on the custody part my ex-wife would have tried to move out of state. Stephenie was also very good at keeping me focused on making logical choices rather than emotional ones. She could have recommended litigation which would have just racked up a large legal bill, but rather she help me see that agreeing halfway on the alimony would save me overall by not avoiding an expensive court trail. As a result of her guidance, my ex-wife and I are good terms and work together very well, which is great for my kids.

I received good advise and excellent service from the firm and Stephanie Kelly in particular.

I initially used an attorney from a different law office. That was a big mistake. Stephanie Kelly at Cordell and Cordell was excellent and I wish I would have used her to begin with. In addition to being strategically minded for my benefit (I nicknamed her the chess master), she anticipated potential future scenarios and provided guidance on how to handle them. Furthermore, she provided very sound, thoughtful, wise, and objective advice/guidance during a crazy period in my life that helped me personally navigate through the storm.

I would highly recommend Cordell & Cordell, and especially Stephanie Kelly, for someone in need of a divorce lawyer in the Raleigh area. My situation was somewhat unique and the support, guidance and counsel I received from Stephanie made the process more bearable. She was very easy to work with and the result of my case was more than satisfactory.
