Might as well be working for my cheating ex wife helped her case considerably total rip-off

This firm is one of the best legal firms I have ever worked with, and I cannot believe the amount of care and high quality customer service my attorney upheld. I went through one of the nastiest divorces you could imagine, and Andrea Dalton from Cordell and Cordell helped get me justice. She saved my life, and I cannot thank this firm or her enough. If you are a husband, a good father, or both please DO NOT HESITATE and contact Andrea Dalton RIGHT NOW! You will thank me for this advice, trust me.

Great Advice!

Horrible service. Bogus charges. Avoid this joke of a law firm.

1 star is too much for this joke of a company. So I scheduled a pre consult and the first thing any lawyer has asked me is what’s the opposing parties name so they wouldn’t represent me in conflict of interest. These guys at least ask me who the opposing party was but failed to do any research on it. So after 3 hours wasted at the pre con I pay 110 dollars out of an 1800 deposit. They call me 3 days later and tell me they cannot represent me due to the fact they represented the opposing opponent previously. So time and money gone, I called for a refund of the deposit and the pre con. No call back for almost a month now. No one communicates in the company. I still get emails from their legal assistant asking when I would like to reschedule my next meeting with them. BE WARY do not waste your money on these guys.

Horrible. Was told case would be easy and cost x amount but then charged three times that much and accomplished nothing! Would not ever recommend them to anyone!

They kept getting me thrown into jail for nothing......by trying to keep my cat alive and away from my abusive ex. Our daughter is 32, she needed no protection, from me at least. I have now served 13 days in jail because false restraining orders were filed against me, I was never served the restraining orders in Denver. Voluntarily impounded my own vehicle at my restaurant to keep the ex from additional tampering. Jennifer Ashley Worthless is just that, I have a great deal of non respect for a female attorney who knew that I was going to be thrown in jail AGAIN, when I voluntarily met with her in Douglas county to try to get mediation moving. That was 4/6/18, still no mediation......

Men please don't hire this horrible firm, go with someone who really does have your best interest at heart and ensures that your kids are protected. Divorce is hard, don't make it harder by choosing these losers as your law firm.

Over priced and very poor performance. The only thing they care about is being paid. Once they have all your money, you are left holding the bag. Stay away!

If your $#!++/ wife wants a divorce this is the place to go for a lawyer. They specialize in men's divorce and fight for everything you are entitled to. I used a different lawyer and he screwed me over. Cordell and Cordell and to fix the mess. (Originally I wanted to go with them but I chose a lawyer in the city my wife was in; Grand Junction) The lawyers know what they are doing and do it well. It is a bit pricey, but you will save in the long run I guarantee it.

Do your due diligence don’t let them pressure you into a discussion on the spot which they will do and they will take advantage of your emotional state. Interview different attorney’s and law firm’s to see who might be the best fit for your situation. I ended up exactly where I would’ve been with out hiring cordell and Cordell. I ended up spending $8k for no reason.

Absolutely worst communication and service. They changed my lawyer on me 3 TIMES because my lawyers kept leaving the company. Do NOT hire this company, save yourself!

Solid, caring professionals. Eric Limegrower and Kim Browning is "go get it" duo, they took care of my divorce in the highest professional manner. Always on time and incredibly caring, I can't imagine having a better attorney/paralegal professionals in my corner.
Thank you!

The firm and their staff (Eric and Melodie) did a great job for us. They were kind, thoughtful and most importantly, great allies in our efforts. These situations are very difficult and working with good, ethical, and knowledgeable people helps so much. Can't thank them enough for getting us through this very complicated situation.

My experiences with Cordell and Cordell, and in particular Ms Andrea Dalton, my attorney, include:

• My initial response was filed incorrectly with the court. I was initially charged to have this filing changed.
• I was charged twice on the same bill for the same fee.
• Expenses were added incorrectly to my Sworn Financial Statement on the “assumption” that I would have them.
• I was never told the details of the initial status hearing at court. I only appeared at the correct time and place because I asked the Petitioner.
• I was sent a letter that was clearly for someone else, and included their names and details.
• I would need to email or call Ms Dalton up to 5 times, over the course of a month, to get responses to questions. This was not a once-off, this was the usual course of events. I would be asked to resend information that I had already given.
• I informed Ms. Dalton that the Petitioner had transferred and concealed $18,000 from a joint account without my knowledge, and against the terms of our injunction. I did not receive even an acknowledgment. In fact, when I raised this point with Ms. Dalton at a later mediation, she seemed to have forgotten about it.
• It took 9 days for Cordell to forward a notice of a court cancellation.
• Ms. Dalton took 4 weeks to provide child support figures. I was unsure about a line, and asked her to clarify. No response. I made contact with her 5 days later. No response. 16 days after, Ms. Dalton asked about my case status, and I once again needed to ask her for clarification on the line.
• I asked Ms. Dalton to discuss filing discoveries. After 22 days, no response.
• I received a Joint Status Report filed with the court. However, as I was never consulted as to its contents, there was a major error with my filed position.
• I received another Status Report filed in my name, stating that I have agreed to issues that I had not.
• I received no communication regarding the tax law changes that could significantly impact payments.
• At my second mediation, I received almost no legal advice to support my position. I left the session with an agreement that other lawyers have described as “the worst agreement for a man I have seen in 20 years”. The following week, I was forwarded this agreement to sign. When I read the agreement, it had been changed by the Petitioner. I pointed this out, and had to show a highlighted copy of both the original and modified versions. This is something a lawyer should pick up before the agreement got to me.
• I received an email from Ms. Dalton informing me of news regarding my Parental Evaluation Report, but the email was meant for someone else, and had been sent to me by mistake.

After filing a formal complaint with Cordell and Cordell, they offered me a credit of one hour of Ms Dalton’s time. I did not accept this offer. We later reached a different agreement.

I am now filing a formal complaint with the Colorado Bar Association because I’ve realized that Ms. Dalton had failed to communicate with me regarding a request for informal discoveries – beginning a process which cost me $1,288 in additional legal fees to Ms Dalton. She profited from her failure, at my expense. I contacted her to inquire as to what had happened to the communication, and was initially ignored, then she repeatedly avoided my straight forward question (“Did you email me in November to forward on a request for informal discoveries?”). I was informed that Ms. Dalton could not communicate with me because it was a breach of ethics (my research did not indicate this to be true, and when I asked Cordell to clarify which ethic I was breaching, I received no response). Jerrad Ahrens, practice manager, then dismissed my concerns, stating that formal discovery needed to be done anyway, so Cordell essentially saw no issue with the situation (this is false, as the originally letter from opposing counsel clearly stated that the informal request was in place in order to specifically avoid costly formal discoveries).

My wife and I were very amicable during the entire divorce process. The only reason we both got legal consultation was to make sure we were covering any future issues that may arise that we might not be thinking about. After a month with C & C I realized that my attorney didn't want to listen and understand what my Wife and I wanted to accomplish. My attorney wanted to make the process as time consuming, frustrating and as expensive as possible. I was lucky enough to find another attorney that listened, was responsive and we were able to move forward with our lives. I would certainly not recommend C & C.

Though, I didn't hire this law office, the other party did. I am reviewing them because I want people to know how much of a joke these lawyers are. From March to August, our case went through 3 different lawyers (1) got fired. I would have to call this law office to remind them pretty much how to do their jobs and what to do to keep the case moving. (At one point they even asked me what they needed to do next. ) The lawyers were so unprofessional in handling the case and submitting proper documents with the courts. I began getting mad because, the case kept getting pushed back with different dates / times because they couldn't and didn't know how to enter in properly with the courts. It wasted my time having to change work around the court dates, because they always change given how unprofessional this law office is. The other party would even call and email me saying he didn't know what was going on because his attorney was a joke. I'm glad I saw from second hand how unprofessional this law office is and that I didn't waste my money. (Helped me with the case, not the party that hired them. ) They looked like a joke in the court room.

Where to begin? I hired this firm to represent me in my divorce. Although I wanted to file first, they advised me that it did not matter as to which party files first. If you get down the path as far as I have in my divorce, you will find that being the Petitioner is way more advantageous than being the Respondent in every single divorce proceeding. I found C&C to be condescending and pompous. If you do your research, I think that you can find much better representation.

If i could give no stars i would the "lawyer" assigned to my case only wanted money and did not do anything to help my case. I was never given solutions and when the 11th hour approached he quit. The service provided was terrible and you would be better off with an intixicated gerbel.
