“Kimberly Gray has been both professional and compassionate. I couldn’t ask for a better lawyer to represent me. I am more than totally satisfied with Cordell and Cordell.”

“My attorney was extremely professional and always very up to speed with what was going on in my case. She did very well in court and made sure I was prepared for the questions I would encounter.”
— Mr. Brandon
“Kim is great; she responds and reacts quickly. I have been working with Cordell & Cordell for about a year and a half now and given what I have to go through with my ex, Cordell & Cordell is the best decision I have made in a long time. Cordell & Cordell has lived up to EVERYTHING it advertises and everything I have read. I did a lot of research before choosing Cordell & Cordell, and even though I didn’t have a choice in which attorney was assigned to my case, I am so very lucky to have Kim as my attorney. I am 72 years old, I have a Ph.D. and I have seen hell and high water, and Kim and Cordell & Cordell have guided me through the hardest part of my life. I am in a very, very good place right now, and I have Kim and Cordell to thank for that.”
