Cordell & Cordell

When faced with the daunting task of finding a lawyer to represent me in my time of dire need, I was lucky enough to find Matt Rudo. He always puts my daughter’s wellbeing first and that’s what it’s all about. I was stressed from the surprise of being served asking for child support, then being served because my ex-wife was trying to take full custody, and now another child support case, where my ex-wife frustrates every aspect of the process. During this entire experience, Matt has remained professional and reassuring. He offers guidance which is hopeful and also realistic. He has used his experience to provide guidance which I describe only as completely and thoroughly worth it. When there are administrative tasks, a paralegal to complete the task, as to save me money, since their rates are lower. When I had to deal with the accounting department, they were also easy to deal with. Something to remember is the lawyer can only do what you allow them to, on your behalf. So if I wouldn’t have taken Matt’s guidance, or not allowed him to complete certain actions or file motions, which I had to pay him to do as his job, I would not likely have had such a favorable outcome. I have recommended Matt Rudo to anyone who seems as if they do or ever could have an issue which he could help with. When I pay his bill, I see it as an investment in my daughter’s future and wellbeing, because if I was lax in this case, it would affect her entire life, as anyone’s life who is trying to raise her to be any bit of a decent human, and thank you to Matt, she will have a fighting chance.

Excellent service and advice. Matt was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive to every need, question and action that was needed to complete a separation agreement as well as follow through for the divorce. He alleviated the entire stress and anxiety of going though the entire divorce process. I was particularly impressed with his professional communications with the opposing counsel which was crucial to establishing and finalizing a fair and equitable agreement. Matt and the entire Cordell&Cordell team have my highest recommendation.

I reached out initially to Cordell & Cordell looking for a divorce attorney and was very pleased to be put in touch with Ms. Rebecca Ripley from C&C's Baltimore office. Ms. Ripley provided unparalleled guidance and expertise at a time when I was in dire need of someone who understood my situation. Following my divorce case, I again hired Ms. Ripley for her help with my child's custody, and again I was extremely pleased with her support throughout. Thanks to Ms. Ripley's amazing work, I attained my desired outcome for both my divorce and custody proceedings, and I continue to recommend Ms. Ripley's services when asked by friends who are in a similar situation to mine and need top-level family law support. I really can't stress enough how thankful I am for Ms. Ripley's experience and advice, because every day I live with the outcomes I wanted, which she made possible.

I found Matt Rudo after dealing with a lawyer from another firm that cost me a lot of money and didn’t do her job. Let me start by saying divorce is not easy and you shouldn’t be worrying about having a lawyer that is not doing the work that needs to be done. Matt is an excellent lawyer, a wonderful person, he is honest and he will work hard to help you get the best agreement you can get. Hiring him was the best decision I made right after leaving my ex husband. I recommended him to my best friend after she was going through divorce. There are not enough good things I can say about Matt Rudo other than Cordell needs more lawyers like him.

Matt Rudo has been nothing short of amazing! I previously hired him based on a recommendation from a friend for my custody case. I knew right away that I made the right decision in hiring him. He has always explained the next steps in my case and is always there to answer my questions, despite sometimes having a lot! When my case was reopened, it was obvious that I wanted Matt on my side again to be able to get through the court proceedings. I highly recommend Matt Rudo and will continue to use him in the future!
