About Tara D. Richardson, Senior Litigation Attorney

San Antonio divorce attorney Tara D. Richardson enjoys facilitating meaningful resolutions for people’s family law-related issues. She was drawn to the practice area while she was teaching high school English and witnessed firsthand the impact families face when going through the challenges of a family law matter.

“Not only do children need extra care and attention, but their parents do as well,” Ms. Richardson said. “Guiding and advocating for clients through what may be the most difficult season in their lives fulfills me professionally.”

Ms. Richardson is deeply compassionate, and while she acknowledges the need for zealous advocacy, she also recognizes that it is necessary to empathize and listen.

“The process is not going to be easy, but I am here to guide,” she said. “I’m on your team. You can expect to know the game plan throughout the case, participate, and understand the resolution wholly.”

Licenses

Ms. Richardson is licensed to practice in Texas and the Western District of Texas in Federal Court.

Education

Ms. Richardson received her Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Texas at San Antonio. She earned her Juris Doctor from South Texas College of Law.

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.
