“​Every case is going to be different and unique. I felt that this was a collaborative process between Stephen and I. He was open to conversations and collaborating with me. As a young attorney he has developed a great role. Stephen was fabulous and did a great job. He was the perfect fit.”

“​Mr. Babe has done a great job. As a father and a human being I didn’t know I had more rights then I ever could of imagined. Mr. babe has also been giving me great advice on what to do and what not to do. If it wasn’t for him I would be in a much worse position. So there no need for improvements.”

“My entire experience with Cordell from the very first phone call has been absolutely amazing. Every single person I have met with or talked to has been great! Gabrielle has been so very helpful in many different ways in regards to my case and even allowing me to call her when I’m fed up and ready to call it quits and give up.”

​”I have no experience with attorneys but Stephen put me right at ease. He has bent over backwards to help me. You have no idea how much your firm has helped me, especially since I needed assistance in dual states. He was able to get me in touch with your firm’s attorneys in California too who have all been fantastic!” – Angela E.
