Cordell Cordell Reviews: North Carolina

“The whole team did a great job … I could not have asked for a better team that helped me protect my rights as a father. Very happy with all the work on my case and how it turned out.”

“Everything has gone smoothly and according to plan. I appreciate Lisa’s work on my case, how responsive she is and the guidance that she has provided me in regards to the legal issues.”

“Lisa was very responsive and personable. Lisa’s paralegal …was incredibly helpful. I appreciate your firm and what it has done for me. I started with the Charlotte Office and was glad to see you have a strong Greensboro Office. [I] could not be happier.”

“Lisa and [her paralegal] are a godsend; they really are. [Her paralegal] is such an incredible help, and I can’t say enough about Lisa. Lisa is hard working, has integrity, [is] a straight-shooter and has suggested things to help me save money … Really happy with all of the hard work in [my] case … My son and I appreciate you all.”

“Lisa has been great and has made the process very simple and stress-free for me.”

“Lisa is very thorough; she gives me options. Lisa has worked quite well with me.  [She’s] a real smart attorney and very friendly.  [I’m] glad I picked your firm.”

“Lisa did a fantastic job.  It went better than I expected, and [I] am glad that I hired your firm.  Lisa knew what I wanted and worked hard for me to get those things. I am very happy.”

“Lisa did such a fantastic job at court the other day. Even if we had lost, I’d still have been happy because of such a hard worker she is and a delight to be around. I couldn’t be happier with Lisa Moser and you all.”

“Lisa calls me right back to answer any question that I might have.  I am never left waiting or wondering what is going on.  She’s also able to explain things to me in a way that makes sense and puts me at ease.  Lisa is a good attorney, and I am happy that I have her.”

“Lisa and [her paralegal] have helped me out a whole lot. I can’t say enough about that Greensboro office. They’re both fantastic. When I went into that office I had my head down; I was so down and out. I’m now holding it higher. Lisa keeps me focused. I’m told to ‘bite, chew, swallow…’ That keeps me from getting ahead of myself.  She slows me down a good deal, [and] that has helped my case and makes me feel better about myself.”

“ Lisa is excellent. [She] knows her job inside and out!”

“I feel that Elizabeth has my best interests at heart and is doing all that she can to assure a favorable outcome to my case.”

“I like that your firm checks in on its clients. Lisa is a good communicator, is responsive and follows through on what she says.”

“I am very pleased with how the process has gone so far and with Lisa’s professionalism and step by step explanation of things. She has been on top of all my questions and concerns. I also like the automatic payment plan through a credit card.”

“Everything was great. Elizabeth Moser is a great attorney and I cannot thank her enough for the great work she did on my case. Thank you so much.”

“I feel satisfied with the services I have received during this difficult time in my life. [Elizabeth] has taken care of all the services and legal paperwork with great efficiency. … I thank everyone for their help in this process.”

“[I] work at night so I’m sleep from 10:30a.m. until 6:00p.m. Elizabeth calls, emails and texts. [She] does an outstanding job on updates! [She] listens well with eye contact to let me know that she cares about my case! She’s a pro! Elizabeth stays on me when I’m slacking up on my end with all that’s going on in my life! I appreciated that swift little kick to get myself together and focus on the task at hand!”

” Your firm represented me in the best possible way and was very successful in getting my custody and child support modified to where it should have been all along. I felt [Elizabeth’s] follow up with every issue was outstanding.”

“​Chelsea did a great job! She returned all of my calls and emails and did the best she could with what we were working with.”

“​Chelsea was absolutely phenomenal! She was completely dedicated to providing the best service to my case in every possible way!”

“​I have been very pleased. Chelsea has been very knowledgeable and responsive. She’s been a pleasure to work with. She always keeps me in the loop. She never reaches out too much or too little, she’s very conscious of that, which I appreciate.”

“​I’ve been really pleased with the firm and Chelsea. One thing that I think she does exceptionally is her counseling. She’s always thinking ahead of the next step and kind of giving me counsel of the next pieces to be thinking about for the next time we talk. She touches base back with me to follow up to see if I have any thoughts. Which I’ve been really pleased.”

“It was excellent working with her. She is very empathetic to my situation. She made me feel like she cared throughout. She seem’s very dedicated.”

“I enjoyed working and interacting with [my attorney]. They were very genuine.​”

“Her communication was fantastic. I never had to wait long to get a response back. She was very helpful in explaining the overall process and what to expect. She gave me a full rundown of the legal process.​​”

“Chelsea is an excellent attorney! She is very attentive and responsive. Going into this process I was scared and anxious as this is unfamiliar territory. She was very informative and supportive in helping me through the process. Chelsea is an outstanding attorney! ​Thank you Cordell & Cordell!”

“We get along good together. The advice she has given so far, she’s right on track. I’m very happy with the representative I chose.​​”

“Chelsea is poised, clearheaded, thoughtful, strategic, easy to contact, and pleasant to work with.​”

‘​ Client said I have already referred Grace and the firm, everything has been wonderful” – JB

​”She was fantastic. She was very well prepared and have a very strong case. She prepped me for what she felt that the OC may bring up and I felt that we were well prepared. Everything was great.” – ​Robert P

“I have nothing but great things to say about not only John, but the entire staff in the Raleigh office. Everyone is genuinely friendly and has helped me through this difficult time in my life so far. John is an excellent attorney.”

“Everything has been absolutely wonderful. I could not have asked for a better attorney. Especially [the attorney that] covered my case one day – she was very personable and put me at ease. That was huge for me. She’s super and so is John. You all have good people in the Raleigh Office.”

“John has been very helpful and supportive of me. John is easy to speak with and is very professional. I am very impressed with his work. Everyone in John’s office is friendly as well.”

“John has been very helpful letting me know what’s going on in my case at all times. John has also been very good at explaining the law in layman’s terms. This helps me in turn explain to him things that could be useful or beneficial in my case.”

“John was very responsive. John took the time to explain things to me. I don’t know what half the firm policies are or what the legal processes are, but John always explained those to me [and] gave what amounted to be sound legal advice. John offered a strategy that made sense and worked and was better than what I could come up with on my own.”

“John gives me sound recommendations. John tells the truth without sugar-coating. John also stays on task, and his team moves things along and does what they say they will do.”

“John was thorough, very knowledgeable of the law and quick to respond to my questions. John worked very hard to get a fair outcome for my case.”

“… I thought John did such a good job with my separation and custody, I wanted to use him again to handle my other legal issues. John and his office work as a team. For a big firm, you get a small firm feel. It’s the way they talk and treat you that made me want to return.”

“John has been very thorough. John is very friendly and you can tell he cares. I also like the Client Portal. It cuts down on me having to call John for updates on my case, and I can track what’s going on! It’s easy to upload documents to as well.”

“John is an amazing attorney and an incredibly gifted and friendly person. I got quality representation and wonderful service [from] John, his staff and corporate support staff. I could not have gotten a better result either – I have no complaints. …”

“I couldn’t have found a better guy. John not only informs me but guides me to better decisions. Your staff has always come through with anything I have asked for.”

“What strikes me most about my experience with Cordell & Cordell so far is its team concept. Everyone [in the Raleigh office], including John, … have been my team. I check the Client Portal and see my goals listed and the steps being taken to get me there. Everything is transparent, professional, timely and friendly. If John doesn’t know an answer, he finds one by asking a teammate. If John is out of the office, he finds time to somehow speak to me. The staff is incredibly helpful and responsive. John balances what he feels my priorities are with what he knows the case’s priorities are, because I know they’re not always the same. I am very happy and confident in John and the Raleigh team.”

“My case with your firm turned out a lot better than I expected it would. Communication was top-notch. I always appreciated the follow up from John, his assistants and Client Care. Well-run firm with bright, energetic attorneys.”

“I like the way John operated throughout the entire process. John was very good at explaining things. John asked me what my goals were at the beginning of the process and kept those at the forefront of my case the entire time. I could not be happier.”

“I can’t say anything needs improvement now that the experience is over. John Machuca was extremely helpful throughout my entire divorce. He always communicated promptly, honestly, and compassionately. …”

“… John has been on the front-end of things the whole time and is very patient with me despite the fact that I am sometimes curt and speak my mind. We’ve had some spirited debates, but John always works with me.  We’re a good team.”

“John was real good at keeping in touch with me and keeping me informed about the ins and outs of my case, especially since I live in another state; that was huge. I can’t say enough things about how that made me feel.”

“… I truly valued him as an attorney. … His quality of communication and responsiveness cannot be beaten.”

“John is communicative, aggressive, and not your typical stiff-shirt lawyer. I can tell that John really works hard for me.”

“John is straightforward, doesn’t sugarcoat anything and is honest and intelligent. I really am grateful to be working with John and your firm.”

“I’ve been very pleased with the time and attention John has given my case. Divorce is without a doubt very stressful, so having someone who has seen all kinds of cases and knows the law inside and out on your side is a huge reassurance. John was able to advise me on things like equitable distribution, child support and other topics I misunderstood at first, and I was grateful for that. Without his guidance and expertise, I could have come out of mediation with a major loss instead of making an important step forward.”

“Every time we talk, I don’t have to refresh John’s memory on the case – he knows exactly what I am talking about. He is really passionate and such a straight shooter. You guys are fantastic!”

“​Bennita was extremely professional. She was there for me and guided me through my case from day one. Everything worked out pretty perfect and that is all because of Bennita’s knowledge and how well prepared she was. I think she did an excellent job!”

“​I was confident in having great representation by my attorney Bennita.”

“​She is doing a great job and has been articulate and been able to develop a good methodology going forward with things. She has been spot on with everything so far.”

“​I truly do not see a way John can do anymore. He truly is amazing at his work and very acute to keeping me in the loop. He makes sure that I am comfortable with all preceding’s before taking any action. I have nothing but great things to say about Mr. Machuca. I would recommend him and Cordell & Cordell to anyone that in need of a attorney.”

“​I couldn’t be more satisfied with John Machuca. He’s a great attorney and a great person. His sense of humor and personality is unreal. I came into this matter blind, not knowing anything about your firm, but I’ve never been more confident about my case and John Machuca’s knowledge of the law and ability to win for me. I recommend a promotion and a healthy pay raise for him!”

“​From my very first meeting with Stephanie I left feeling confident in moving forward and that a huge burden had been lifted. This is a very stressful situation and being so worried about it has affected other things in my life. Now that I have Stephanie I feel at ease and I have even been taking better care of myself and able to focus on other things in my life that need attention.​”

“My case resulted in a dismissal and I think Bennita did well getting us to that point. I connected with Bennita almost instantly due to our shared interest in diversity and equality, so I believe it was divine intervention that she was assigned to my case. She is very friendly, frank and her diverse background in family law was very helpful in my case. In different circumstances I would include her in my circle of friends and I hope that she would do the same.”

“​He did a really good job at making a stressful time with putting things in perspective and showing he was on my side. It was a good feeling to know that.”

​”She’s really been there, is down to earth and straight forward. I’m definitely impressed. She’s very knowledgeable and direct. She gave me all the facts, even if I didn’t want to hear it.”

“Bennita was excellent.  Client also stated that her paralegal Derek Warner was awesome as well.  Client stated they both always returned calls quickly and were wonderful to work with.​”

“John was open to long conversations to clarify things and develop a strategy for the path forward.”

“​John and Derek are the best!! Everything done quickly and both are very good at their job!!”

“Cordell and Cordell has been wonderful! Allister, the supervisors, and everyone has been wonderful. I am happy with everyone, and they have handled my case with the utmost respect. My case has been very unique, and the firm has provided everything I need. We are happy. “

“You all have exceeded my expectations. Despite the situation, it’s been a good experience so far.” – William K.

“Stephanie’s responsiveness was consistently timely throughout my entire case. I really appreciated her staying on top of my case at all times and [her willingness] to work on my case whenever work needed to be completed, despite her schedule. Very impressed and grateful for picking your firm and for Stephanie.”

“Stephanie is such a great support system. She seems to stay on top of things. I know you guys are all busy and have a lot to do, but Stephanie makes me feel like I’m her most important client. I have already started recommending her to people. You may be ending up with a lot more female clients.”

“Stephanie and your firm were a great help during a  tough time. Ms. Horton was always professional, very knowledgeable and compassionate. [I] just could not have asked for a better attorney. I have recommended both Stephanie and the firm to others.”

“I am very pleased with Stephanie’s work on my case. Another thing I have noticed is that Stephanie is very responsive. Stephanie gets back to me quickly on all days and at all hours. I believe we are working very well together.”

“Stephanie is very professional, competent and hard working. It really shows when you talk to her. [She is] incredibly kind and good-natured too. Nothing but accolades for Stephanie.”

“Stephanie is extremely helpful, professional, and very intelligent. I was so blessed to have her help with my case. She has done an excellent job. Thank you so much for all of your help.”

“I was very pleased with Mrs. Horton, and I think very highly of her. Mrs. Horton showed a great deal of compassion for my case and my needs. She listened to my needs and called me personally when she wanted to discuss my case with me. She made me feel as though she had a personal vested interest in my case and helped alleviate some anxiety. The office staff was also very cordial and accommodating.”

“Stephanie has been quick to return my calls, keep me updated on my case and provide valuable legal advice.  I am more than happy with her and am glad that I hired Cordell & Cordell. …”

“Stephanie provides very personable service; that is what sets her apart.  I have never felt like ‘just another case’ or a ‘number.’  I feel like a real person with needs and goals.  Stephanie works well with me in helping me achieve what I have set out to accomplish.  I am very thankful that she is my attorney.”

“… I feel compelled to reach out and express my gratitude to the firm. … Stephanie Horton is amazing, sensational, compassionate,  extremely intelligent, and tough.  She listened and began to formulate a plan. We had one goal. That was to achieve 50/50 joint custody. Her tenacity is the reason why we achieved this goal. I am forever grateful to her for this. Stephanie has kept me grounded during  the entire process. She has picked me up when I needed it. She is also not afraid to advise me if I was not making the best decision and would remind me of the big picture. I put all my faith in her and she never let me down. I was always updated, and she would check in with me just to see how I was doing. I am so thankful for her.  Stephanie is the reason that this ordeal is behind me. Stephanie is considered family now. I couldn’t be happier with her! …”

“Stephanie is very patient. Stephanie is also good at articulating legal-speak and simplifying issues so that a layman can understand them. I’m very happy.”

“Stephanie is a very gifted attorney. She brings the human aspect to the practice of law; a real humanitarian. At the end of this all, I consider Stephanie a friend. I have a very complicated case, and I feel she has a handle on it and probably has learned a great deal from this case too.”

“… I am in Hawaii, but you would not know it based on how quickly Stephanie gets back to me and how close she makes me feel to my case. … Stephanie’s staff, especially [her paralegal], are always there to answer my questions and send me things that relate to my case. I think everything that I’ve heard about your firm has come true, and I’m thankful for that. You really make me proud to be a client of yours.”

“[I] just wanted to talk very highly on my attorney, Stephanie Horton. She has been very helpful in my case. If we all had a few more lawyers out there like her we would all be in a better place. I believe she truly cares about her clients and wants the best for everyone. “

“​[My attorney] did a great job. She made everything go smoothly. If I need anything down the road, I will definitely reach out to you all.”

“I am beyond thankful for [my attorney]. She is very thorough, professional, and done a great job at keeping me calm. [My attorney] has always kept me well informed and has gone above and beyond to show she truly cares about my case. It truly feels she is looking out for the best interest of both myself and my kids.  She is kind hearted yet strict with the opposing party by not letting things get by. I like that she provides me with all my options as well as her opinions. I  couldn’t be happier with the service that [my attorney] has provided me.”

“She has been straight with me, she calmed me down. She is awesome. I want her to know that I think she is the best.”

“​I was very pleased with Stephanie! She was very professional. She did things as she said would and within the time frame she promised. I have nothing but good things to say about Stephanie!

“​Both [my attorney] and Stephanie did a great job. [My attorney] took over at the end when there was some non-sense from my soon to be ex. She stepped right where Stephanie left off and knew exactly what was going on. I have nothing but the highest praise for Stephanie. She is a jewel with a great hand shake. I appreciate her forthrightness, honesty and genuine care for me. I loved her from the beginning.​”

​”She took her time to answer my questions and never got aggravated. She was great.”​​

“It shows professionalism with how she always responds in a timely manner. For example, when I email her, she quickly responds. Brittany has been excellent to work with. She is very knowledgeable and is always quick to respond to questions or quick to send documents from opposing counsel.”

“Stephanie Horton rose above and beyond her call of duty, and exceeded expectations all the time. She took my case personally and gave sound advice to protect my interests. She made herself available even on a weekend when I needed to speak to her urgently. Based on her performance, I can say that this firm is truly a partner that men can depend on.”

“She’s stellar and has been a team player this whole time.”

“I am very pleased with Brittany’s responsiveness and willingness to take action quickly.  She lays out my options we discuss and come to a decision and then she takes action.  She wants results that are in the best interest of my family and I appreciate that.”

“Very pleased with the process so far. Stephanie is such an advocate for her clients and that can be proven even with her emails. “

“Mine was a pretty simple case. There weren’t any points where I needed to reach out. I was always kept up to date. No issues at all. Stephanie was very personable, and I was very happy with your process of monthly updates.”

Stephanie was very reassuring and kept me in the loop but was also very assertive when she needed to be.

​”Ms Horton was excellent in every aspect of the ordeal. She explained and made sure that I understood everything as we went along. She made me feel like I mattered and prepared me for the process to be thorough and professional in every manner. Ms Horton is absolutely, hands down, the Best !!!” – George K

“Stephanie was a pitbull, attentive to his needs, and aggressive with the timeline rather than drawing things out to increase billable hours.” – E.M.

“The language used to communicate with the OC/OP was clear and worded exactly like I  wanted. It was detailed and perfect.” – Brandon S.
