Cordell And Cordell
Reviews and Complaints
Very expensive or results
The office in charlotte, Kara (last name withheld) has taken over $8,000 and I have not received anything for her services. I receive a bill on a timely notice but no updates.
She receives notices and fails to follow my instructions on how to proceed in the case. She constantly tells me what I can't do without providing a plan that I can do. She was told to forward a letter to my wife’s lawyer with items from the house I am still missing and she never forward the email. Was told to request the evidence the wife has against me (never requested it) before we went to court.
They will drag their feet on following your request but do things you never ask them to do. Will not pick up the phone when I call and will not return the call in a timely manner. Always round up to the next 15 minutes. Do not use this law firm, very good at telling you what you what to hear in the beginning but will not follow up with action.
After going through the first $3500, it went into litigation and she stated I had to maintain a balance of $5,000 which they find fees left and right to charge you. No email is short or to the point, all are extremely long and what needs to be done is lost. When on the phone every answer is very long and never really answers the question.
It is almost as if they are on the side of the wife, not the husband. Please learn from my mistake and do not use this firm.
Cordell and Cordell helped me win joint custody of my daughter!!

Fraudulent Activity Review
Hired Cordell & Cordell, biggest Mistake of my life!
I hired this firm, listened to the attorney assigned to the case and now ruined for the rest of my life. They talk the talk, but in court don't get ANY respect from the Judges as they already know what these guys do.
You will be BILLED for anything that you do, multiple times at that, as once you send an email, the attorney reads it, sends it to their assistant to read, print and file, so basically you have at least 15-30 minutes of billed time, which equates to 75.00 to 150.00 per email. They WILL let you know when your retainer gets low and suck your credit card dry! Men Across America, DO NOT USE THIS FIRM! YOU WILL BE SORRY and PAY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIVES!.
Don't let the advertising FOOL YOU! They are the best and have the best website, literature, etc. They have Bankrupted me, given all my posessions away to the Ex and minimal time with my kids. ALL FOR WHAT?
The almighty dollar! These thieves will suck you dry! In the end, you would have been better off going to court by yourself.
This is why attorneys have a bad name! Thanks to the poor services of CORDELL & CORDELL !!!!!!
Screwed By Cordell and Cordell
I hired a Cordell and Cordell attorney and was told that her retainer would likely not be all used. That was far from reality.
First off, my attorney named Jane Robertson showed up late for my first and only day in court. I had already told her that there was nothing to contest between my wife and me. We already agreed on everything. Basically all we needed was one of our lawyers to write up the legal paperwork and submit it.
Robertson did absolutely nothing. Not one thing. She claims to have corresponded with my wife's attorney, but I can't figure out what the correspondence was about because there was nothing for her to talk about. I told her she was fired because she continued to suck up her retainer money on bogus actions that never happened.
I knew I was getting screwed so I fired her. She told me it would cost me $500 just to fire her. I was shocked at how ridiculous and pompous this woman was. Long story short, not only did Jane Robertson lie about whatever it was she was doing to eat up her retainer, but she somehow amassed an additional $800!!!!
I refused to pay that and after going back and forth with another member of the firm I agreed on a fraction of that.
In fact, I believe I am going to seek legal action against them. This is far from over.
Hired Cordell / Cordell, Paid over 25K and got NOTHING

MR BICKHAM
I HIRED THEM TO HELP MY CASE. WAS TOLD 3,000 WAS THE ESTIMATE.
AFTER HIRING THEM MY LAWYER WAS LATE TO THE FIRST COURT. THEN TOLD ME I NEEDED TO SPEND 12,000 TO FIGHT! I AGREED. THEN WEEK BEFOR COURT SHE HAD A BABY ILLNESS.
HAD TO CHANGE LAWYERS AND NEW LAWYER WAS 25 YEARS OLD WITH NOP EXPEIRANCE. COMPLAINED TO COMPANY AND THEY CHARGED ME TO GET HER UP TO DATE WITH MY CASE. WENT TO COURT AFTER PAYING POLICE OFFICER AND MEDIATOR PER LAWYER REQUEST TO BE THERE AND SHE WANTED ME TO AGREE TO ABUSE AND SETTLE OUT OF COURT. WHEN I SAID NO SHE TOLD THE COURT SHE WAS SCARED OF ME.
AFTER 15,000 NEVER WAS HEARD IN COURT AND STILL HAVE RESTRAINING ORDER. WORST LAWYERS EVER. COMPLAINED TO BAR AND THEY WOULDENT EVEN READ THE COMPLAINT.
WORST MISTAKE IN MY LIFE. CLIENT CARE REP SAID SHE WOULD REFUND ME 2,000 FOR INCONVIENCE BUT NEVER SAW THE MONEY AND THEY REFUSED TO ASSIST ME IN MY CASE.
Over Billed and under represented

agreed they want an open check book and do little to nothing in return STAY AWAY FROM THESE CROOKS
Charleston SC has one attorney. I will withhold the name as any one calling for an appointment will get her.
My son is in a divorce/custody battle , which they boast fighting for men's rights.This is why we chose them. Hired her in April. He does have temporary custody, but only because we did all of the foot work gathering affidavits. All she did was email, text, phone, and it would be the same thing multiple times over a few days.
She has stopped returning my sons calls this week, and a month ago she claimed she was ready to go back to court. I have spent over 25,000. and she has done nothing but make money for the company. I could go on ,but I do believe I am going to file a complaint wit the BBB, consumer advocates, and ask the bar to review my sons case.
Just a money hungry set up! I hope every one who feels as I do does the same.
This sounds very familiar - my son had a very similar experience and paid about $4,000 for nothing. The separation agreement that they put together (well that my son put together) didn't even have the correct name and address in it (some other person's name and address had not been removed from their "form").
Thirty days after leaving their practice they still have not forwarded emails from my wifes lawyer. After I told them I no longer needed their services they ran up charges depleting all the cash in my account.
Do not use this company. You will regret it.
More Cordell B.S.......Hope readers understand these lawyers are bottom of the barrel.......
