About Caroline J. Thompson, Senior Litigation Attorney

Family law to Caroline J. Thompson has always been an excellent hybrid of two of her passions: the law and psychology.

“In family law, you get to develop a relationship with the clients that you do not have in many if any, other areas of the law,” Ms. Thompson said. “It is very gratifying to assist people, and fight for them, during a very difficult time in their lives.”

She said so much of family law is helping people sift through the emotional aspects of a divorce to get them to a resolution that they can live with and move forward with their lives. Ms. Thompson thinks it is extremely important for a client to know the pros and cons of each action and the possible outcomes.

“I do not shy away from having the honest, and sometimes difficult, conversation about what to expect with clients,” she 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.
