About Gabrielle McQuay, Litigation Manager

Albany divorce attorney Gabrielle McQuay understands how challenging it is for people to explain their stories during a divorce. The emotional turmoil of the process can cloud judgment and cause rational people to make costly decisions.

“Family, its members and dynamic has such an impact on people’s lives,” Ms. McQuay said. “If I can lend a helping hand in times of tension, stress, and complexity, it’s my calling to do so.

“Being able to meet people where they are and work with them towards a brighter future drives a successful law firm.”

Ms. McQuay is compassionate and willing to see compassion in others during difficult times, which often arise in the practice of family law.

“Cases involving families are often going to be emotional, running high with tension, and even higher with passion,” she said. “But that shared passion allows my client and I to work towards a result that is best for all involved.”

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.
