About Ryan Phillips, Lead Litigator

Charleston divorce attorney Ryan Phillips practices family law because of the unique opportunity it provides to counsel and guide clients through what is likely to be the most emotional and stressful point in their entire lives.

“The practice of family law truly evokes the lawyer’s dual roles of both attorneys and counselors,” he said.

Mr. Phillips takes pride in his attention to detail, which is crucial in working through the intricacies of the divorce process. He also encourages his clients to maintain an entirely open dialogue so that he can do his best to help them reach their goals in court.

“The more open, honest, and forthcoming you are about every aspect of your case – both the good and the bad – the better I am able to guide you through realistic goals and outcomes,” he said. “In law, possibly more so than any other profession, knowledge truly is power.”

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.
