“Ijeoma communicated well with me from the very start. I knew exactly what to expect and was prepared. … Ijeoma gave me useful information and without her assistance, I would not have won last Friday’s hearing. I would re-retain Ijeoma and Cordell & Cordell in the future if I needed to fight further for custody.”
