Attorneys With The Experience And Resources To Help Men With Divorce, Maintenance And Child Custody.

Cordell & Cordell was founded in 1990 by Joseph Cordell, J.D. as a general practice firm focusing on domestic law. With men representing approximately 98% of our clientele, we have developed the unique experience and familiarity with the male perspective as it is affected in the family law courts to allow our clients to feel comfortable that their point of view is understood and accurately represented.

The firm has grown to 30 office locations in 15 states. With over 60 attorneys exclusively practicing family law, we have become one of the largest family law firms serving men in the world.

Men who come to Cordell & Cordell know that their interests and the interests of their children regarding child custody and child support will be aggressively championed. Our belief is that too often lawyers and even judges resign themselves to stereotypes and thus perpetuate the status quo. We are not suggesting this mentality is malicious or even conscious, but it is prevalent.

The result is that the judicial system - lawyers, judges, social workers and the administration - is prone to assume without proof that moms should be awarded primary custody, that men accused of abuse are guilty of abuse, and conversely, that men alleging abuse are lying or overreacting, that women are not as capable of generating income as men are, and that a man is less deserving of assets earned by a woman in alimony and maintenance payment than when the reverse circumstances exist.

Despite these stereotypes, Cordell & Cordell has risen to establish ourselves as a partner men can count on.
