I went to C&C at the end of to get legal help for my divorce It was an incredibly tough time in my life, and would have been infinitely more difficult if not for the expertise and professionalism of my lawyer at the time, Cassie Screngi She was insightful and clear about what needed to be done; no nonsense She never wasted a second of my time and her ability to follow up and follow through with what needed to be done was first rate I would recommend her to friends, family, or really anybody that needs a fantastic divorce attorney

The Columbus, Ohio offices of Cordell & Cordell are truly remarkableI am a divorced father of two children, who with the help of my Attorney Dan White of Cordell & Cordell, and several others, regained my parental rights and respect after years of hardship in the family court systemThe staff at Cordell & Cordell understood the problems I faced as a father when trying to manage a relationship with my children, all the while, fighting for my parental rights in courtDan is an amazing lawyer who understands his clientsHe offers an objective viewpoint with clear and obtainable strategic goalsI am fortunate to have Dan as lead counsel and very pleased with Cordell & Cordell as the law firm advocating for my parental rights
Thank you very much Cordell & Cordell
Warmest Regards,

My recent experience with Cordell & Cordell in Henderson, Nevada, Specifically, my attorney, Holly ***, was very reassuringJust knowing that there is someone out there that cares and is in your corner, Holly definitely reinstated my confidence in the judicial processMy children mean the world to me, and she actually understood the importance of my caseWith what little I had to work with and the difficulty of an uncooperative defendant, the mother, Holly did an outstanding jobI did not get exactly what I wanted due to lack of extenuating circumstances, but I received more than I expected, because of Holly's hard work and dedication to my situationMy only real complaint would be that it was a very expensive experience for not even going to trial, but Holly was upfront and honest with me from the start about the potential costsI would firmly recommend Holly ***'s services to any father that does not feel that they have a fighting chance, because mothers usually always have the upper hand, with Holly and Cordell & Cordell on
your team, you now have a level playing fieldGreat job Holly and to your firm!

Michelle *** was excellent! She was a constant professional and she kept me informed on every step of the process She was very prompt and made you feel like you were her only client I will definitely recommend Michelle *** She made a difficult time and process simple

My Lawyer was Phyllis L ***She was very upfront about everything that she didShe was aggressive in her approachDo to this I was able to get the results that I requiredI would recommend her to anyone that needs someone to get you the results you want

Cordell and Cordell is great! Cassandra *** is my attorneyShe is intelligent and forthright looks out for my interestsIt is comforting to know I have a strong advocate in Cassandra

Doug ***, who is now Litigation Manager in the Clearfield, Utah office, handled my custody caseI have the utmost confidence in him! He did what I needed him to do while being sensitive to my concernsWe were able to get my sons out of a stressful situation and back into my homeI really like the tracking system that Cordell & Cordell has in placeI received a weekly summary update on my case

Cordell and Cordell provided appropriate in my situation legal adviceI had several specific needs that were discussed with my attorneyShe researched and recommended the appropriate legal responseThe law can sometimes be illogical to the laymanHaving a competent attorney is well worth the money you spend

*** *** is amazing! Tough case? Not a problem for herBe upfront and honest with her and you will be well represented

Throughout the litigation process my lawyer did not stay informed or up to date on my caseThis caused me to lose the caseI gave my attorney over pages of evidence to support my claim for custody and my lawyer failed to provide the opposing counsel the documents before trialShe emailed the other attorney the documents the night before trial and never attached a read reportWhen it was time for us to show our case and present our evidence none of it was used because the opposing counsel never seen the evidence and it was not submissible in courtMy lawyer did not start working on the case until the night beforeShe asked for a continuance and it was declinedThe evidence and requested documents from depositions should have been sent to the opposing counsel earlier than hours before trialWe submitted the requested documentation over a week before the trial began, The unorganized and last minute gathering of my case caused by my lawyer caused me to lose my case and I now

Our experience with this law firm and especially our attorney was better than we could have ever hoped for Our attorney was honest, hardworking, straight forward, confident, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable about the laws in our state and how the court system works I know without a doubt that if we had hired any other firm to handle our case the results would not have been in our favor Our case was four years ago and to this day I am extremely grateful to our attorney for all of her hard work on our behalf and wish her and the firm nothing but the best!

TRUSTWORTHY!!!...The single word I would use to describe Cordell & CordellI spent a lot of hours (and money) researching and interviewing attorneys trying to find one that fit my individual needs, and was having difficulty choosing until a friend mentioned C & CI looked them up online and was immediately impressed with their approach (to help men) and decided to set up an interviewI was concerned at first thinking they were a big city firm priced out of my rangeI was pleasantly surprised, they are a large firm located in the city but they have numerous attorneys that work out of different local branches with varying rates depending on needTo me the large firm was an easy choice knowing they had a broader range of experiences and more associates to help when needed, it was a perfect fitMy attorney (Ms***) listens to my questions and concerns and offers real world solutions and advice in very timely mannerI knew I was in good hands, when during my first court date Ms*** showed minutes early and came well prepared with all the required documentsMs*** also knew what needed to be done (and when) to stay in good graces with the court that dayThings not to be taken lightly or for granted, as opposing counsel was not on time, was not prepared, and did not know the court house proceduresThey have since been removed from the caseI would definitely recommend Cordell & Cordell to anyone looking for a reliable trustworthy attorney that keeps you informed and involved through every step of the process

I have had the privilege of working with Heather *** for months, as my case is an exceptional one She is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and will work in the best interests of you and your children Whether yours is cut and dry or complicated, Heather’s skill set is what you want in your corner I have seen her in the courtroom and her performance is nothing short of exceptional She is poised, prepared, confident, and focusedDivorce can be a daunting process and most especially when children are involved Heather *** is who you want leading your way

My attorney ***, is fantastic, she keeps me up to date with all of the proceedings going on*** also returns all of my calls and emails very promptlyIt's been a pleasure to work with such a genuine and professional person

C&C was a friendly law firm that knows the law However, they are very new to Fairfax/Northern Virginia They do not have the reputation w/in the courts as some of the local law firms My attorney, ***  was very good and informed me of my rights I felt very protected throughout the process My case did not have to go to court If it would have gotten that far, I would not have been very optimistic given the unfamiliarity of the court system/judges in Prince William County (where my case would have been heard)Payments were a little confusing I thought C&C overcharged at times I don't think it was my attorney, but more the business of C&C My case was very slow moving Sometimes w/out any movement for a month or two or three However, I would get charged every month for a letter that my attorney HAD to send to me - via email and then via regular mail Basically saying nothing

I found my experience with Cordell to be positive because of the professionalism, sincerity and commitment of everyone I dealt withFrom billing to customer care to my attorney to the paralegal, each person was understanding and demonstrated genuine interest in making sure I understood each step and component of the process, addressed any concern I had and always sought a positive outcome or disposition for meThe client portal, which I used incessantly, gave me continuous up-to-date access to every aspect of my case and detailed what I was being billed for, the work on my behalf behind the scenes and my expenses
My attorney, Barbara Cini, I cannot praise enoughAside from being personable, sincere and genuine, she demonstrated a commitment to helping me achieve the best possible outcomeShe was receptive to my comments, suggestions and ideas, even some off the cuff venting on my part, and felt she provided honest assessment and recommendation/guidance every step of the wayI was impressed with her courtroom presence and quick thinking and her preparation was tremendousI have, and will continue to do so, recommended her services to othersMy only advice to potential clients is to be a good clientYou may not always like what you hear or have to do but keep in mind neither MsCini nor Cordell are responsible for your predicamentThey are there, on your behalf, to help you make the best of it

Ryan *** was my divorce attorneyHe was very responsive, fair and seemed to really care

I was going through a custody case when I hired this companyAnd for more than six months, I was billed for work that wasn't actually being doneAt the end I had nothing to show for any of the work they said they were doingIt would constantly show that he was "reviewing the file" but nothing ever got filed and I was being billed the entire timeThe only time anything ever happened was when I (not a lawyer) suggested it, based on the experiences of other people I know, for example: subpoena-ing bank account recordsThat was done at my direct suggestion but you would my lawyer would think to do thatAlso, I was contacted by the lawyer for the other side who said he'd reached out to my lawyer and had gotten no response backMy lawyer said multiple times that would do a specific action like file certain paperwork and it would never get done
This law firm has a customer care complaint center, the representatives there listen to and do nothing for youI contacted them at least times, they'd follow up with me via email and just say "sorry, we don't think you have a valid complaint." They set up a call between me, my lawyer, and my lawyer's boss that was basically just me against two lawyers, it was not helpful and uncomfortableI did eventually post something about my experience with the business on their Facebook page and got a lot of responses via private messages from people who said they had the same experience
I fired them and the lawyer I hired to replace them got me results in months
