About Andrew Ordyna, Senior Litigation Partner

Clear and consistent communication with your attorney is essential in obtaining a successful result in your case, according to Andrew Ordyna.

“Make sure your attorney understands the result you desire in your case and why you feel such a result is appropriate,” he said.

Mr. Ordyna strives to ensure he and his client are on the same page and that the client understands the often-intimidating litigation process.

“If you do not understand, explain the problem to your attorney. Your lawyer is on your team so work with one another as a team,” he said. “And never let your spouse or your ex-spouse undermine your relationship with your attorney.”

Mr. Ordyna obtained his license to practice law in New Hampshire in 2000. He is also licensed to practice law in Massachusetts (since 2002) and Georgia (since 2002).

Education

Mr. Ordyna received his Juris Doctor from Georgia State University College of Law. While in law school, he served as an associate legislation editor for the Georgia State University Law Review.

Mr. Ordyna earned a bachelor’s degree in Anthropology with a minor in International Studies from Georgia Southern University, magna cum laude.

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.
