About Aaron B. Pickelner, Senior Litigation Attorney

When Houston divorce lawyer Aaron Pickelner went into practice for himself, he received his first opportunity to handle a family law case.

In that case, he was able to help his client obtain custody of his children and made a positive impact on his client and his client’s family.

That case left a lasting impact on Mr. Pickelner.

“This is when I knew I wanted the focus of my career to be practicing Family Law,” Mr. Pickelner said.

Mr. Pickelner has a passion for helping people, and by practicing family law, he is able to help people preserve the most important aspect of their lives: their families.

Mr. Pickelner, who is one of Cordell & Cordell’s top regional performers, works hard to communicate effectively with each of his clients to make sure they’re up to speed on every detail of their case throughout the divorce process.

“I am the type of attorney that listens to my clients, is accessible to them, and wants to help them through what is typically the most difficult time in their life,” Mr. Pickelner said.

Real-Life Experiences
Reviews from Our Past Clients
“Wow, there’s so much I have to say about Cordell & Cordell. I walked in with tears in my eyes hopeless because everything was taken a way from me. Father of 7 children that was told there’s no hope for the fathers now days. Cordell & Cordell welcomed me in their hands and proved everyone wrong. They were there for me and my children until the end.”
– Izet K.
“It took years for me to come to a decision to end my marriage. I sought a law firm that is focused and prepared for trial if need be, and seeks to give me the best outcome possible. Cordell and Cordell has performed very well and is very supportive during this difficult time. I have full confidence in my representation and recommend them.”
– Mason B.
“Cordell & Cordell has been really helpful in all my divorce and custody-related needs, even when I have been struggling to make ends meet, they remained communicative regarding my account. I am very grateful to have had such amazing representation in the most important court case of my life! Thank you!”
– Amanda H
“Divorce is hard enough without trying to find a Lawyer who will truly work for you. I had several conversations with Lawyers that seemed only interested in winning somehow. No one wins in a divorce. I should have went to Cordell & Cordell first so I would have avoided a lot of headaches. I met a group of people that genuinely care for you.”
– Mark L.
