About Stephen R. Matvey, Lead Litigator

Pittsburgh divorce attorney Stephen Matvey chooses to practice family law because it provides an opportunity to help and counsel people through their most difficult issues.

When practicing law, Mr. Matvey is responsive and client-focused. As a detail-oriented worker, he explains the nuances of law clearly to assist people in making informed decisions.

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.”

I am very grateful to have had such amazing representation in the most important court case of my life! Thank you!”

“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.
