Avoid this place (not the particular location but the company). Had a very simple, straightforward modification case. Everything they needed was documented, prepared and laid out as to timelines, context, and important things to highlight. As others mentioned there were tons of bs charges and "conferring", menial tasks were lumped together with 'preparation' to inflate time billed (block billing). Several obvious noted errors on bills. Constantly trying to have more phone conversations which are useless and used to bill, n... read more
I agree emphatically with the other reviewers. I chose Cordell because my children were involved and I did not care about cost, I just wanted the best to protect them from an alienating mother. I was happy to pay the extravagant $2500 retainer. I was charged $300 for representation that made errors, forgot about key facts in the case, and had no sense of urgency or conviction. She had no coherent strategy or approach. At one point my ex was clearly in contempt but my lawyer failed to recommend filing for a contempt citation.... read more
The WORST firm ever... The complex billing BS they have in place charges you for multiple people "updating your file" to "strategy meetings" for $250 per hour Attorney's needing to confer with $495 dollar attorney's. They will literally suck the life and money out of you. I paid almost 3x's the amount of my original divorce for 2 simple issues that they dragged out for almost 1yr and was bounced from 1 Attorney to another and then had to pay for the 2nd Attorney to come up to speed with the case. About the only pers... read more
They have the client go through certain processes even though they know it's not worth the time or money for the client to go through it. They want the client to provide all the work while they sit on their hands and make more money off the client- they are not out for the clients best interests or ways to save them money . they find ways to stuff bill needlessly. It is how much they can bill and be in their best interest to make more money than really a client should have to pay.- had poor service and quality.Had to remind... read more
I retained this firm because of their advertisement as a firm for men. I am a 16 year victim of South Carolina's punitive permanent alimony and woman biased divorce laws. I paid a retainer of $1,800 after speaking with a Senior Attorney, and was then assigned a lower level, less experienced one for the same $250 per hour. Over the course of approximately six months, and no conversations with ANY managing partners, I was billed over 30 different occasions for anything from an e-mail to my attorney, to the office clerk updatin... read more
Yeah, it started out great.I could write a book about all the strategies we were going to trot out and how my cordell lawyer was just chomping at the bit to get my ex on the stand. All these fine points of law that was going to totally hem the other side in and we were going to at least get what was fair. I could write another book about how many time's I was charged for writing up these court documents or that proceeding or meetings to go over strategies that were never implemented, and never had a prayer of being implemen... read more
Cordell & Cordell seem to care about your case and prepare you for questions on the stand. However, once it was time to question my ex my lawyer Micheal in San Antonio had none for her. Micheal stated "it would not matter" wow is all I can say. They seem to have a lot of lawyers with no experience but, bait you speaking with an experienced lawyer. Never use this law firm.
I retained Cordell & Cordell to represent me in a custody battle with my ex, based on their website and radio advertisements; they present themselves as specialists in helping fathers in a legal system skewed in favor of mothers. First, they pulled a classic bait & switch on me: The consultation was with a highly experienced attorney; when I retained them, however, I was assigned an inexperienced lawyer. Their hourly rate didn't go down at all, though - she was still $250/hr. Second, the retainer fee was $2,500. That's ... read more
