I went into my divorce looking to get two things, one was joint custody, two was to keep my 401k intact. And this is w/o saying my other personal belongings also. After 18 long months and around 50-60k later I did get just that, joint custody and I got to keep my 401k. Everything else I lost including a lot of my personal belongings. Not only did my Ex give or sold some of my stuff, she damaged what was there! Pictures and videos of my Family she said we're stolen also. My attorney did NOT do a dam thing about it, he was mor... read more

I went with cordell and cordell the Independence ohio location because I wanted my child support deviation to stay in place. I explained what I wanted and the attorney Oliver said it's doable and we have a good shot at getting what I want. I also talked price and they explained there fees and he even gave me a ballpark number of what it would cost being it's not am extremely complicated situation. Well after I spoke to him he told me he would not be my attorney and that Daniel would be which was weird cause I gave him all my... read more

The worst experience of my life so far. This local chain did not know the procedures for my case and cost me thousands of dollars. Do yourself a favor and go with a local attorney who knows the judges and opposing attorneys. You will be way better off in the end. Had to pay another attorney to clean up this mess. Avoid Cordell at all costs. Don't let the low retainer fool you.....you will pay! They don't have your best interests in mind.

Absolutely waste of money. These people are crooks. Called them to assist with divorce proceedings. They told me I needed to deposit $1800 as a retainer. A few days later, they told me I needed to deposit another $1200. After I realized how expensive they were, I told them to just stop and not to charge me for anything else. After paying them $3,000, I was refunded $350 after they did absolutely nothing, except listen to me explain why I was seeking divorce. No action was ever taken. Total crooks.

Cordell and cordell are in my opinion nothing but money hunting corporate hacks that prey on men, the representation I got was laughable at least on my wife's side. I read through all my case notes and the only info about anything was discussed tactics with supervising attorney not notes on what was discussed Just that it was discussed, when I asked about this got the old run around nobody could tell me what was discussed. ( probably what they were going to have for lunch). This firm is horrible and you would be better of b... read more

I was told to be "happy" with results that were less than what the state law dictates. No argument was presented to even attempt an equal outcome. It would have been better, at least financially, to never ever use your attorney for the proceeding. Alone I could have at least argued for myself to the judge. My child will be the one who pays the price for this lack of courage present within your ranks. Blaming the bias of a judge is the laziest form of debate.

If you need competent, fair, diligent, considerate, and fiscally responsible with your resources law firm look as far away from Cordell and Cordell as possible. They are not a law firm, they are a billing scam. Their business model seeks to prolong the litigation process such that they can charge absurd billable hours. They charge for every type of attorney-client engagement; emails, calls, court fillings, attorney to attorney communication, etc... Let's not forget the mandatory billable case update. Which is unnecessary b... read more

I hired them to represent me and in a years time had 4 lawyers . The prior 3 all left firm for reasons enhancing their careers , from each lawyer assigned, all had interacted to gather documents and information pertinent to case. Meanwhile from all the interactions between each lawyer leaving they have to get up to speed with my case as new lawyer. To sum it up, had to pay balance of 6100$ or given 10 day notice to withdrawal from case if not paid in full. In December my third appointed attorney left and wasn't assigned a n... read more

I needed a lawyer to represent me for a custody case. After meeting with a lawyer I decided to hire him just to find out I got a young lawyer who wanted to side with my ex-wife. He never truly represented me or communicated with me. Finally before my hearing date he decides to drop me. These guys are also thrives they've charged me way over the time they spent in the case with no representation for me.
