Reviews

They got the job done and got me through the divorce. I think they were a bit overpriced but it wasn't crazy overpriced. There were two instances where a lack of attention to detail caused me some head aches due to unpleasant exchanges with the exe. Also, I signed off the divorce in October. Had I waited until January, I wouldn't have had to pay the difference of married vs single for 10 months of taxes. That was a big sting. Had I been advised that this was going to happen, I would have pushed that signing back 2 months. That said, I was very anxious to be done with the process and I'm sure Robert, my attorney, was working to close out things as his primary concern. Robert talked me off the ledge several times from either offering or accepting a bad deal just be done with things. He made himself very available for questions and concerns. He explained things in a concise manner that was easy to understand. He did a great job of explaining the process and what we were about to go through. All in all, I'm pleased with their services. I may not recommend them to a friend overly concerned with the cost, but I wouldn't deter a friend from using them if they were ready to for that.
I had an absolutely dreadful experience with Cordell & Cordell. Firstly, they charged me a consultation fee upfront, promising to provide quality legal advice and assistance. However, after the consultation, they completely dropped the ball. There was zero follow-up from their end, leaving me stranded and clueless. To make matters worse, when I reached out to inquire about retaining them for my case, they had the audacity to demand another consultation fee just to retain their services! It felt like they were more interested in milking money out of me rather than genuinely helping me. Moreover, their lack of organization was appalling. I scheduled an appointment with them, only to find out upon arrival that they didn't even have a lawyer available to conduct the consultation. I was forced to wait around while they scrambled to locate one, wasting my valuable time. Overall, my experience with Cordell & Cordell was a complete nightmare. Their unprofessionalism, disregard for clients, and money-grabbing tactics are utterly unacceptable. Save yourself the headache and avoid this law firm at all costs! There are plenty of other reputable firms out there who actually value their clients and provide competent legal services.
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING POSITIVE TO SAY. Drug case out, won’t communicate, won’t provide detailed billing, credit card was charged for random amounts on random days. We told the attorney money was running out and case needed to close. Attorney waited until 2 weeks before court and withdrew from the case. $18,000 wasted with ZERO results. Do your research and find a more personal attorney/firm who actually cares and wants to fight for you rather than steal your money and leave you in a worse situation than you started. DO NOT RECOMMEND
I've only needed a lawyer once in my life. For divorce. The first attorney I had was a local, small town attorney. She had no interest in helping my case. She was just going through the motions. Cordell & Cordell has truly helped my situation. Without getting into the details of an unfinalized divorce, I will say that Rex and his team have made an absolute difference. My situation before was nearly hopeless and no one wanted to hear my side. Once again I have a voice in my daughter's life and future. Please consider Cordell & Cordell.
Communication was great! Rex was highly available and quick to respond. He cc'd me on all correspondence with my former spouse's attorney. He was quick to communicate with me information that he received from her. Also, Rex did a great job of considering my priorities while helping me to understand the benefits/risks of pursing each alternative. I am confident that Rex's advice led me to the best possible outcome in my given situation.
