Reviews From 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.”

    Boston, MA Frequently Asked Questions

    What are the grounds for divorce in Massachusetts?

    The most common basis for a divorce is the marriage is irretrievably broken. Other grounds for divorce include adultery and habitual intoxication.

    What is a divorce going to cost me in Massachusetts?

    There is no way to predict the total cost of a divorce. The best way to control fees is to ensure you have a solid litigation plan. A solid plan is one based on clear communication between a client and their attorney.

    Do I really need to hire a Massachusetts divorce attorney?

    Yes. Domestic law is complex.

    Never try to represent yourself. You will agree to things you might not otherwise have to agree to.

    If you go to court unrepresented, you are charged with knowing all of the rules of civil procedure and acting in the same manner as an attorney would act in court.

    Does Massachusetts grant divorces based on marital fault?

    Yes. Fault-based divorces, however, are more complex and rarely lead to an outcome largely different than the outcome of a divorce filed on the basis of the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.

    Can I get alimony or will I have to provide alimony to my spouse?

    Alimony is determined on a case-by-case basis.

    Typical factors in determining if and how much alimony will be paid include a substantial income disparity between the parties and whether one of the parties has been out of the work force for an extended period of time.
