About Matthew Branson, Litigation Manager

Independence divorce attorney Matthew Branson is drawn to family law because of his personal experience.

“I like helping hurt families,” Mr. Branson said. “My wife and I have been foster parents for a number of years, and have seen how families can really struggle. Practicing family law lets me roll up my sleeves and try to make things better.”

Mr. Branson is a self-described “legal nerd” and loves researching all the unique and challenging situations. He also considers himself unflappable. No matter how crazy or chaotic a situation might be, he provides a calm and helpful voice of reason.

“It’s going to be better,” he said. “No matter how desperate it looks, we are going to find you a new and workable ‘normal.’ Litigation can be messy, but we will get through it and come out on the other end.”

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.
