Litigation Attorney

About Michele MacPhail, Litigation Attorney

Michele is an experienced attorney bringing a unique blend of legal expertise and personal commitment to her practice. Before joining our firm, she honed her bankruptcy and worker’s compensation skills, gaining valuable insights into different aspects of the legal world. The area of family law appealed to Michele because of her personal experiences, having witnessed the challenges her mother faced during her parents’ separation. “I am an eternal optimist, so I pursued this profession in order to equip others with tools and strategies to surmount this challenging period in their lives.”

As a level-headed and direct communicator, Michele understands the emotional strain and intrusiveness that can come with family law cases. Drawing from her eight years of military service, she approaches each case with a clear, strategic mindset, helping clients achieve their legal objectives and manage the emotional toll of litigation.

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.
