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.”

“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!”
– 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.”

A party can serve the opposing party by sheriff of the county where service is to be completed or by a duly authorized person. The court can order a party be served by certified mail or publication.
A local newspaper that is qualified for legal advertisements in the area that the opposing party is believed to reside or, if unknown, in the county where the action is filed can be contacted for this purpose.
