Services were good when I could reach my attorney. Was very difficult to reach her and took multiple attempts. Office staff helped fill the voids when they could.

Lisa Torneten has been such a great assistance this past year with my divorce and custody. I always feel she has my back and best interests in mind. She has made me feel that Cordell & Cordell really does fight for the husband’s rights and won’t put up with any games from an ex. She even fought so that I could spend holidays with my kid, making the holiday that much more special. Lisa is a fighter.

Cons
1
Concerns about billing practices and unexpected fees
“They will not tell you the court date properly, then when they make a mistake and you call them to find out what is going on, they still charge you.”
2
Instances of poor communication and lack of preparedness from some attorneys
“My lawyer seemed incompetent. I'm pretty sure she called me while she had been drinking one evening - it was pretty obvious from the slurring of her words and general slow responses.”
3
Concerns about lack of attention and follow-through on some cases
“I hired Cordell & Cordell almost 3 years ago after Armondo said my case would not be an issue and would be able to get me custody of my son. 3 years later we have had 1 court date that my lawyer Victoria seemed extremely unprepared for.”
4
Instances of attorneys lacking specific expertise (e.g., in military law)
“Kara Didier had NO knowledge of military law and even so I kept telling her some of the regulations she never presented in court and didn't fight at all for me when she clearly knew my ex was lying.”
5
Concerns about the firm's overall business practices and integrity
“Lowest integrity of any business/ firm I have ever worked with. They set me up with Armando which seemed very knowledgeable and then pulled a bait and switch move by pawning me off on a different attorney over a single email.”

Jacob Rowe is an outstanding Attorney. He has believed in me from the start and has represented me to the fullest. With his hard work and the dedication of Kera and the rest of the team at The Fulmer Group, my life wouldn't be where it is today. After a grueling two years, they have taken away my burden of the unknown - they have given me my life back. My family and I deeply thank Jacob, Kera and The Fulmer Group from the bottom of our hearts. I highly recommend them for any legal action as they are a hard working team that cares and treats you like family.

Several times in this case when my feelings and emotions wanted to take over Jacob put things in perspective, he calmed my nerves. He gave great advice about the present situation, and future situations to come. He was very fair, and not just about the money. Jacob is hands down the best attorney I've worked with, and I've worked with several in different situations.

Jacob was always very compassionate. He understood the hardship of divorce and was always sensitive to the details. He was keen to listen and connect at an individual level. He was always kind and took the time to listen. That alone means a lot to a person whose life is being turned upside down!

We couldn’t have asked for a better adoption attorney. When we needed her to be caring she was, when we need a fire cracker she delivered nothing less. We are so happy with the outcome and our experience with her and her team!

I have worked with Lisa for over a year and a half. She worked very hard on my case. To me working above and beyond because I felt that our case was difficult, I was a little skeptical at first due to our situation, but she truly was absolutely amazing and fought so hard for our family. I will recommend her over and over and over again thank you so much Lisa Howard and team for all that you have done for our family. You will forever hold a special place in our hearts I can’t thank you enough.

I have been working with Melody and Brigid for over a year now and they are the best. Both are super responsive and very helpful with whatever legal question I may have when it comes to evictions. I highly recommend Kennedy Law, best attorney you will find in the OKC area.

What Questions Should I Ask Before Hiring a Lawyer?

Hiring the right lawyer is crucial for the success of your case. Here are some important questions to ask during your initial consultation:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. Who will be handling my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  4. What is your approach to resolving cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. What potential outcomes can I expect?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the expected timeline for my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What challenges do you foresee in my case?
    Understanding potential obstacles helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to resolve my legal issue?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma?

Whether a lawyer can represent you in courts outside of your city or state depends on their licensure and the jurisdiction of the court:

  • Within the Same State:
    Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state.
  • Outside of Their Licensed State:
    If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you. However, there are exceptions:
    • Pro Hac Vice Admission: An out-of-state lawyer can request special permission to represent a client in a specific case in another state. This requires filing a motion with the court and often working in conjunction with a local attorney.
    • Federal Courts: If your case is in federal court, a lawyer licensed in any state may be able to represent you, provided they are admitted to practice in that particular federal court.
  • International Representation:
    For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.

It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  • Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Most state bar websites have an online directory for this purpose.
  • Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case. Review their website, professional profiles, and case history.
  • Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association's records.
  • Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Google, or Yelp to gauge client satisfaction and experiences.
  • Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field and adherence to high ethical standards.
  • Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation in the legal community.
  • Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  • Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their abilities and professionalism.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  • Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as:
    • Contracts or agreements
    • Correspondence (emails, letters, texts)
    • Legal notices or court papers
    • Financial records (if applicable)
    • Evidence (photos, videos, receipts)
  • Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and parties involved. This helps the lawyer quickly understand the context.
  • List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, fees, or the lawyer's experience.
  • Financial Information:
    If your case involves financial matters, bring relevant documents like pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, or invoices.
  • Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case, including their names and contact information.
  • Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid photo ID for verification purposes.
  • Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points discussed.
  • Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations so the lawyer can provide appropriate guidance on fees and payment options.
  • Openness and Honesty:
    Be prepared to discuss your case candidly. Full disclosure allows the lawyer to give accurate advice and anticipate potential challenges.
