We availed ourselves of Chad's services in October 2013 because of a radio advertisement that told us his law office would help men in divorce situations. Although I was already divorced I had a legal issue regarding alimony that needed to be addressed. My new wife and I found Chad to be extremely attentive to our needs/desires. He kept in constant contact with us and was very prompt at returning phone calls. The case was finally closed in June 2014. We found Chad to have exceptional integrity in his legal dealings and highly recommend him! Richard W.

I couldn't have asked for a more professional, attentive and prompt individual for my legal representation. My circumstances required Mr. Koop's services with me being out of state and everything from the front office to the post case follow up was nothing short of seamless and professional. Would highly recommend Cordell & Cordell and Mr. Koop!

First things first, Mr Koop made an "oral agreement" with my exwifes lawyer that I never got paid on. Yes, after all said and done , walking out of the courthouse I was owed money from ex that was not settled, the two lawyers made an oral agreement that I would be paid x amount of dollars within thirty days. Well since I could not afford to pay my lawyer he dropped me. 30 days go by and I went to collect the money and my ex said where is the contract? and by the way have your lawyer send it to mine since you dont have one! So i did call Mr Koop and he said if you can give me a retainer I can help you? It was pulling teeth to try to get him to tell me it was an oral agreement.The amount of money I would have to pay him would be over the amount that was owed to me. Yes never recieved the money.I would think he would say , Hey ill send off a letter to her lawyer, sorry about this, but no, not even how are things going ? Nothing ,but wanting my money! Also Mr Koop was not prepared for a witness ,this played a huge part in my case and we could not discredit her because we were not prepared, Mr Koop was asking me what to ask the witness.we got blown out of the water. I can go on and on but one thing that was the kicker when I should of fired him was when I was in his lobby waiting ,the other lawyer came in and they started talking sports , basketball baseball , laughing it up joking around. I couldnt beleive it , this was going on in front of me. So we entered into two different rooms that were right next to each other, 45 min later nothing has happened because my ex and lawyer decided to talk there before coming to his building.I was paying to sit there for nothing, finally it started and all I could here was Chad going in and out of rooms laughing with the other attorney about ? They have very thin walls at Cordell Cordell ,Cincinnati office btw. I should of left and got up right there and fired him. I also have emails sent to mefrom Chad from other lawyer,the meassage would start off by , Hey Chad, bet your glad to be back in the office from your trip to Fla... Just not professional in my standards.I would not suggest this lawyer from Cordell Cordell, I paid thousands and thousands and got nothing. There are alot of things that I missed about the final decree that he should of seen and thought about before agreeing to anything. I put 5 stars on keep me informed, and responsive because thats one way he jacked up the bill. For him not being prepared i have lost about everything including my children... yeah few more things my ex moved to another state against court orders and got away with it because we again were not prepared....
