Update.... Just heard from Cordell & Cordell.

They sent me another bill f or over $600.00.

Yet, they are NOT representing my kid and they have withdrawn from the case. Incredibly ignorant if you ask me.

Their law firm SUCKS! I have been paying the attorney fees for my son to get through his divorce.

I am a widow and working part time (my only income by the way) trying to help my son out. I read their profile on how they want to help the fathers with their rights but actually all they are, are money hungry people who take advantage of people in a bad situation. I have never in my life seen such GREED as this place! EVER!!

I have been trying to be timely with payments and on several occasions asked how much more this was going to cost. No one would give me an answer. I even sold my deceased husbands truck to help make payments and it has never been enough! $4500.00 (That's what I had paid at this point) later they still wanted more money.

Because I couldn't come up with another $3000.00, the attorney withdrew from the case. So now I have lost my husbands vehicle, $4500, and now have no one to help my son. I hope they are all proud of themselves for taking advantage of someone who is having hardship and no money. I have basically spent all my money for nothing.

Thanks for taking advantage of me. Maybe they should put a cap on their fees so at least the client would know how much they're going to steal from them like they did me.

Reason of review: Pricing issue.

Monetary Loss: $4500.

Preferred solution: Full refund.

Cordell And Cordell Cons: Cost, Greed, Over priced.

Location: Omaha, Nebraska

Consider yourself lucky you are only out $4,500. I was naรฏve too in the beginning, but quickly learned that I should expect attorney fees to go into the 10's of thousands of dollars.

It took over $20,000 in my case by the time the divorce was finally settled almost two years later. I can blame the attorney for nickel and diming me, but the problem is bigger than this. It's the entire system. There needs to be some sort of protection against the non-custodial parents.

Based on my experience, the custodial parent was not concerned about escalating attorney fees (I estimate hers ending up around $15,000; so total combined wasted funds of $35,000) because they expect to pay this off over time from the anticipated child support. So, really what is happening is I AM paying the total $35,000.

I experienced this through another firm but would expect Cordell and Cordell to be similar. I am now considering using C & C for post divorce "contempt" charges against the custodial parent for not following several requirements of the divorce decree.

Dont do it! Find an attorney that has a flat rate, i wish i would have in the beginning.

Flat rate means get it done dont draw it out because that costs them more money.

I wish i had known that sooner.

Mr. Joe Cordell will burn in ***.

He knows what his firm has done to men all across America. Just watch. Prior to his trip to the pit, he will suffer some serious medical condition or something. Then his wife will leave him and perhaps he can hire one of his own idiots.

Thank You. EHC
