“Thank you for all the work. The opposing party accepted the offer made from a few years ago, but [my attorney] was willing to do whatever it took to better the living situation for my child. My son has gone from not smiling or opening up, to being excited about being at my house. [My attorney] did everything she could in a timely fashion, and we are grateful for that. She has brought a smile to my son’s face. If it wasn’t for her pushing opposing counsel, we wouldn’t be in this place. … I never felt like I was being robbed or lied to. I’ve already recommended her to others.”

“[My attorney] was a rock star! He was always prepared and always available to answer any questions and explain things as they happened. [He] always gave straight answers and never dodged even the tough questions. I was honored to have him represent me. He is very professional and also very compassionate; great combination when dealing with the crappy circumstances that I would guess most people have to endure when dealing with family law.”

“I really appreciate [my attorney’s] level of engagement. It often seems like I’m his only client, when I know very well that I’m not. Unless [my attorney] is in court, he always responds immediately when I reach out. I have been very happy with my representation!”

“[My attorney] is excellent!  I have been more than satisfied with how things have been going. Things have been more than I could have ever expected. Even if things weren’t going this well, I still know that [my attorney] has gone above and beyond! She has worked so hard and [has] done so much for me. That means a lot considering she’s never known me prior to retaining Cordell & Cordell.  She fights for me as if she’s known me for years!”

“Like a lot of people, I didn’t like lawyers very much. … [my attorney] has forever slain that stereotype in the mind of this very satisfied client.  From the very first meeting with [my attorney], I knew that this was going to be a different kind of experience. I was a shaken wreck at that opening meeting, in an absolutely terrified panic that my six-year-old daughter and I were going to be torn apart. [My attorney] calmed me down and opened my eyes and mind with targeted, intelligent questions, reassurances made without implausible promises, effective listening and, in response to my description of the situation, a clear strategy that made sense and fit me personally.   Throughout the months of preparation his advice and guidance not only made strategic sense but also felt right from an ethical standpoint. I did not have to compromise my personal sense of integrity.  … In the process of achieving that victory he earned the respect of the judge, the opposing counsel and the witnesses from both sides.  [My attorney] has earned my deepest respect and gratitude. … Even though all of my legal fees are paid, I will forever be deeply indebted to [my attorney] for his diligence, instinct and … hard work on my behalf. Cordell & Cordell are very fortunate to have this brilliant attorney and fine human being on their team.”

“… My experience with Cordell & Cordell went exactly as discussed. I can’t say the same has held true for the other firms I worked with. With [my attorney] and I both having professional backgrounds, we were able to be forthright from the very beginning and fulfill the expectations we set for each other. I hope I don’t need to, but I would absolutely refer [my attorney] to anyone in need of legal help.”

“[My attorney] did a really great job! Many would have backed down from a situation like this, and she gave it 150%! If I ever need a child custody attorney again, [my attorney] will be my first call. …”

I have nothing but good things to say! They have worked hard to fix the many mistakes made from my prior attorney. They are extremely quick in response and move very fast to repair these issues!”

“[My attorney] and [his paralegal] have been doing an outstanding job reviewing any evidence and supportive documents that will work with my case. [My attorney] was able to explain and identify, as well as communicate the strategy and plan on my case. They are very proactive and timely. [My attorney] listens to me very well and is very professional, including to the attorney from the opposing side. …”

“[My attorney] is fantastic! She does the very best she can. … I imagine my case has to be one of the most difficult she’s faced. Even when things look hopeless, she helps me to find a shred of light at the end of the tunnel. [My attorney] is a great lawyer. I’ll be sad when I move to California and won’t be able to use her anymore.”

“[My attorney] is excellent! Even if I call him after 5 p.m., he will hit me back right away. He’s been totally awesome! … [My attorney] is very upfront with me. He always goes out of his way to make sure we are working together to get things done quickly. I’ve never been happier with the level of service I’m receiving. [My attorney] actually cared about what has happened to me, he’s not just representing me. I have the utmost respect for him because of that. He has really been awesome. The best decision I’ve ever made was picking up the phone to call Cordell & Cordell! … I feel [my attorney] has done a million dollars worth of work for me already! You truly can’t put a price on what he’s done for me.”
