I don't even know where to start, but retaining this firm was the worst experience of my life. Even worst than the divorce itself. They lied from the beginning. I had several questions written down for the initial consultation, and one of them was regarding Health insurance, which my soon to be ex is my dependent. One of the attorneys at the initial consultation (Taylor Mackintosh) told me that as soon as my wife signed the divorce, she would be on her own as far as health insurance. Weeks later they reassigned my case to another attorney, and he said that he could not block my wife from continuing to be on my insurance after the divorce, and that this was the law. This was the first of several red flags throughout my case. I had a gut feeling that I should dump this firm, but I did not. After more than seven months and over U$25,000 in charges with close to nothing to show for, I schedule a conference call and fired my attorney. We are a lower middle class family with only one asset, and NO fight for custody. These people claim to be able to level the field in favor of dads. This is not true at all. The law is the law (usually favors moms) and there is nothing they can do to change it. This firm did some things without my consent, as far as useless subpoenas to my wife's work inquiring about insurance, bonus, stocks, which I said that was not necessary, and to the current owner of a business that she owned in the past, which I said that was not necessary either. This was done to inflate the cost.I have emails to prove this, and will probably file a malpractice complaint against this firm. I retained another attorney, and he said that of the thousands of pages he received from Cordell & Cordell, he was able to use around 60. Everything else was garbage. He also said that my divorce should not cost more than $5,000 if an agreement was reached or $10,000 if it went to trial. So please, do your homework! Do not settle for the first firm you see with a fancy commercial. Shop around three or four different offices and inquire about cost. Cordell & Cordell would not commit even to a range. That gave them a free pass to almost ruin me financially. I hope this post helps other dads to not become victims like me.

This firm is a facade. Having a dual state case we needed guidance and left empty handed, no better than we started and $1000 out of pocket. I had asked for some consideration based on numerous fees we were charged for and did not need but we were met with firm ignorance and no empathy. This is a single father case looking for financial support long overdue, this firm caters to single dads - what they mean is they cater to taking more money from their wallets. This is an unethical practice with no sensitivity. You will leave dissatisfied, feeling cheated and in no better shape where you started. Make sure you dont ask any questions or correspond via email either - they charge you for every keyboard letter they use. $100 consultation is a joke. Post consultation our lawyer asked the same questions that our initial visit did - then we were charged per email for the questions. Logging researching laws as well - I thought we were there for their family services expertise. Youre better off doing your own research. Hope this helps you make your decision.

Not a whole lot of support. If you need an aggressive attorney to fight for your rights seek that somewhere else trust me you will pay double if you dont

Michael Chamberlain

I spent 10K for absolutely nothing. They just want your money trust me...Think about this? A massive law firm devoted to men because too many men are being destroyed by family courts..vultures

Its hard to say you had a great experience with a divorce lawyer but here it goes. This firm and my attorney made this extremely hard experience as easy as it could possibly be. They are advocates for father's rights. My attorney was always reachable and understanding. I can't say enough good things about her.

If you find yourself in need of an attorney this is the place. Everyone, from the lawyers to the custo.er care reps, are all extremely helpful and nice. I had the pleasure of working with two of their attorneys, Dana and Jacqueline. Jacqueline was my main attorney. She was amazing at keeping me up to date and letting me know all of my options and possible outcomes. When I needed to call her, at anytime, she always answered, or would call me back within a matter of minutes. Whenever I was with Jacqueline, or speaking to her, I had her full attention and it felt as if my case was her only one. She is focused, friendly, and really good at what she does. You cant go wrong with Cordell & Cordell.

This firm should be avoided at all cost. They use predatory charging practices. I met my attorney 1 time in person, (1) 1.5 hour long telephone call, and 1 court date that lasted 2 hours and they charged me over $30,000.00!!! And that was in only 2.5 months! They double and triple billed me on multiple occasions. They email each other and double charge for me for it. They charge for conversations they may or may not have had in office between each other. They email you 10x a day and charge you for every one of them and most emails are nonsense. Its all just a scam to charge your bill up. It is a complete scam. I had to take them to the fee arbitration board to fight the charges. This firm are complete shiesters and I advise you to stay away. My divorce would of cost over $100,000.00 at the rate they were going. Another attorney would of charged $6-8k what they charged over $30k. Good luck all. Divorce sucks but my experience was a lot worse because of these people. They took advantage of a bad situation.

Be careful with these people they talk a good game and then are quick to drop you in a moments notice. This is what just happened to us. After paying $9200 from August 2018 thru Jan 2019 to Cordell in Scottsdale AZ and being 30 days before the trial date for a modification in custody... and ...2 weeks after my sons Attorney came back from maternity leave, Attorney Kirshy withdrew from the case!!! The explaination is we still owed $4478 of a $5000 retainer. I paid them $2500 bringing the account current and $629 ahead on 1/4/2019 and told Vincent in accounts payable that I would pay the additional $4478 of the $5000 trial retainer on the 20th of this month. Never heard back from Vincent. Of course we were never told that our attorney would be out on maternity leave either and that he left the case in someone else's hands. They withdrew on the 10th stating we had not finished paying the retainer in time. I have emailed all that were listed on the withdrawal letter and have not heard back from anyone. Cordell represents they HELP FATHERS. What help was this? Why couldn't they say on I'm sorry the 20th wont work we need the money on the 10th. Now my son has a trial set for a simple modification and no attorney. BE CAREFUL THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN HELPING FATHERS THEY ARE INTERESTED IN TAKING THE MONEY AND DROPPING YOU BEFORE THE REAL WORK BEGINS.

Attorney Walters made my modification for support argument very easy to deal with. I was impressed at how quick it went.

Andres Lopez

Took me for $10k ride and the only thing they did was get a continuance. Fake high power lawyers without a clue. All about taking your money.

Denis Provost

This firm is the worst, all the do is bill you for talking. They don't actually do anything except talk my attorney I believe did not even read my divorce agreement from Opposing council told me to read it and send any questions back to her. What the he'll do I know about legal documents you where told what I wanted at the beginning and I got screwed out of everything yes the house go sold and it was split evenly. But I never got to go in and even try to split what was in the house I alone had about 20000 dollars worth of tools and various collectibles in the house that are now hers but that's OK right I didn't see that in the Agreement we pay lawyers to represent us they should do the job they are payed to do and not just worry about their billable time. They suck in my opinion burn your money and give your wife everything it will be cheaper.
