I came to Emy for help with my divorce because of her passion and dedication I experienced during my consultation with her. Even though, Emy was not able to continue with my case she did the right thing and I appreciate that a lot. Who needs more stress added when going through a difficult time. Thank you Emy for doing what was right.
Sincerely,
Kathy Hurtado, Utah

Emy was so helpful! She was always on top of things, and helped me get all the paperwork ready for my divorce. She was very understanding of my situation, and I was impressed with her ability to keep the human element in focus throughout the various stages of the divorce process. Hire her, and you will have a powerful ally on your side of the table.

I am so thankful and grateful, I don’t even know where to start with this review. With being in a different state and not being able to communicate directly in person it was difficult at first. We communicated through telephone and emails until I got to meet them a day before the MTO hearing. Emy and Kate both understand what you are going through and they are very calming in their approach. Emy is very straight forward, she is not the type of lawyer that will tell you what you want to hear but rather tell you in reality and based off her experience. “STRAIGHT SHOOTER”!! So if you are looking for a lawyer that will present you based on the information that you provide the team, and not looking for a sugar coated cookie then she will be the right choice for you. If they ask you for items, make sure you get them what they ask for and in a timely manner. Don’t ask questions just do it!!! It’s no one’s fault but your own if don’t provide them what they ask for. There is a reason that they ask for the items. You may not know why the reason but believe me it will all come together in the end. Emy and the team are story tellers of the information that you provide them, in a legal way. I have so much to say about Emy and her team, I could keep going. I honestly feel that I have gained extended family with Emy and her team. Thank you for all the hard work that you guys did!!!! YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!

Custody battles are never fun but having an attorney who has your best interest in mind helps a lot. Emy is very knowledgeable in family law and that has been very beneficial in my case.

It is not easy finding a trustworthy attorney in Salt Lake City, especially if you live somewhere else as do I. I needed post-divorce related advice and investigated a few different law offices. There are likely many good family attorneys in SLC, but choosing one feels risky and confusing.

I eventually chose Ms. Cordano given her exclusive focus with family law, and lengthy experience in the field.

At our first meeting I knew she was the right choice. What a relief. Her advice is excellent, and I found her to be honest in dealings with me. As we spoke she was cordial and patient, which means a lot. I never felt any pressure about her services.

I would imagine the time will come again that I will need family law services and I intend to utilize this law firm again, without any hesitation.

Recommended.

Ms. Cordano and staff has been my rock in this storm of divorce I am navigating. Ms. Cordano your calming, steady presence continues to keep my heart in my chest.

Recently, my/our character was viciously attacked in court. There is one intangible characteristic I take very personally and that is character. Character tells our story without words. Your character in response to the petitioners approach held the standard of professionalism one should expect in these sensitive, stressful situations.

Having worn a uniform in service to my Country and a badge to serve and protect my community, having someones back "Got your 6" is paramount. You have my back.

Thank you - for being you, for being real and being prepared in all situations.

Emy Cordano is a very passionate and very capable attorney. She knows her stuff and will work hard to protect your best interests. Thanks to her, I was able to reasonably resolve a divorce case that was heading toward an ugly custody fight. If I were to ever need legal counsel in the future, I would not hesitate to hire Emy again. She is exceptional and easy to work with, if you let her do her job.

Fortunately Emy Cordano represented me.
My divorce was getting ugly until she intervened.
I can honestly say that I really couldn’t have asked for a better attorney.
She was responsive and caring and knew her stuff. She gave me hope when i was so stressed out that I could barely eat or sleep.

She was totally dedicated to my case and to doing what needed to be done to win.
In court she was professional and well-prepared.
I was overwhelmed when court gave me everything I asked for. I think this is rare but Emy did it. She got me CUSTODY OF MY CHILDREN, and ALIMONY and the expenses I asked for. After months of stressing you can imagine my relief.
I wouldn’t hire anyone other than Emy Cordano when it comes to Divorce and Custody ....She is the best.
And her retainer and the legal fees were reasonable given the outcome and the amount of time and effort she invested.
I’m so grateful for the positive impact she has had on our family and future. Highly recommended.

The consultation was a complete waste of 15 minutes I ever had. Make sure to give other attorney's a shot if you go see her and she undermines your side of a case. I came to Emy because I was served papers from my daughter's father for joint custody. I told her that we already have a split schedule that we have been doing for a year. It was never permanent but I mentioned daycare to the father for some time now but wanted her a little older. Now she is 15 months and ready to go meet children her age. Plus it isn't just any daycare, my daughter was a 2 month premature baby so at 15 months, she is barely crawling. I researched and found a great program that helps underdeveloped children called Early Head Start Creative Learning. I don't mind the joint custody lol her father would keep is every other weekend and if he wanted nights then I would be fine with that expect he works nights so it is not ideal. Her father presented me wanting majority of time with our daughter which I am not happy with. Our schedule was temporary until she started daycare. Now that she is old enough, he is demanding legally to keep her Monday, Wed and Friday as well as every other weekend. Since this would be a permanent situation, I am not so on board. All I want is for my daughter to experience daycare with other children through the week and trade every other weekend as normal. Emy acted as though I was cruel to even think such a thing. She was very abrasive making me feel invalidated and completely sided with the father saying, "You have done with schedule for a year, you can't just change it!" and "You are going to have to change your work schedule to fit his schedule!" and when I was explaining the father's controlling and demanding behavior, she just said "You are going to have to get therapy to deal with him!" I was speechless and confused. She wasn't listening to my side at all. All she heard was I'm taking her from her dad which is not true. I just want a more stable schedule for my daughter and a more stable environment since she is a year now. Plus dealing with her father on a regular basis has been an agonizing year. I also enrolled my daughter to get extra care from DDI Vantage which is basically physical therapy for under developed children. Her father didn't like it so he went behind my back and canceled the program all together without saying anything to me. When I asked him about it, he said nothing. I had to find out by calling them. Emy didn't care. At that point, I knew nothing I could say would be right in her eyes, she already sided with him for whatever reasons.. Anyway, she is more of a divorce lawyer and deals with custody through that which is dollar signs in her eyes. I think she didn't see a huge settlement with my case so she decided to give me her rigid moral opinion. I'm not paying for your opinion nor do I care. I came to Emy for help for a more stable schedule and she basically said I have no options except to stay in the situation I am already in. I am sorry but 1 year vs. 17 more.. Noway. I won't settle for her rude answer and wish her the best in her profession. I have already found another AMAZING attorney that is helping get this resolved. Keep your options open when looking and if this is your first custody battle then don't let her attitude scare you into thinking the way she does. Hope this helped.

Even though I had moved out of state at the time of my separation, Emy and Kate were able to communicate with me over the phone and through email to settle my divorce case. Emy provided excellent council and was able to get far more for me than I had expected for a reasonable price. She was there to help me when I needed her. I would highly recommend her services to anyone!

From the moment of having my first consultation with Kate and Emy, I felt very accepted and welcomed. Emy was fantastic throughout my case. She and Kate were very personable and were concerned with my best interests in every aspect. They were very firm but very fair throughout the whole process too. They were very instrumental in getting me what I wanted out of the proceedings in terms of a settlement. I would highly recommend Emy and her team as they will do the very best that they can and more than likely you will come away with what you wanted.

Emy Cordano was an amazing lawyer! I am a father in Utah and was able to get full custody of my children! Her staff was very professional and extremely helpful and I had a lot of questions throughout my divorce. They would always get back to me in a timely matter and I was never left wondering what was going on. She will always be the lawyer I recommend to anyone that asks me.

I would strongly recommend hiring or consulting with Emy during your family law case. Her experience shows in her ability to provide clear answers during what is usually a very difficult time in life. She has been established in the local area for some time and knows how to navigate the system to get desired results. In addition to frequent email communications, she was flexible with my work schedule and we met face to face multiple times after normal work hours to ensure that we were both on the same page and that we had all the necessary data to present a strong case. That was a big deal to me and Emy will do that for her clients. On top of all that, she is a friendly person that is understanding of the difficult circumstances of a divorce and puts all her efforts into helping you get results. I would not hesitate to continue consulting with Emy if there are future needs.

Emy is a very capable and somewhat intense lawer who will fight for the outcome you are looking for. Her intensity may be off putting to some, but if you need a lawyer do you really want someone who is complacent or laid back to fight for you? She is very good at making sure that you understand what you are agreeing to so you do not agree to something that you regret later. If she is convinced that you understand and you want to go forward she will back you up all the way, even if she does not think it is the best decision..

I could not have asked for a better lawyer to represent and advise me.

Emy Cordano was very professional and understanding. From the very first moment I felt that my case was in good hands. I was always informed of any development during the process and any question I had regarding my case was answered in a timely manner.

She showed great efficiency and knowledge and I couldn't have asked for a better outcome for my case. I would definitely recommend Emy to anyone looking for legal services and advice.

Emy is the worst lawyer ever.. Very bossy, yells at her client and makes them jump through many hoops, but never will go to court so nothing is accomplished..We hired her in Dec 2016.. 10 months and $13,000+.. nothing has been accomplished

I started into a nasty divorce October of last year. Everything was so foreign and Emy took the time to help me through the whole process. She really cares about you as a person and is there for you every step of the way. She's very energetic and fights for you. I highly recommend her.

I met with Emy Cordano in October of last year, for a consultation. Since, I have met with several other attorneys to be confident with who I pick. Emy and I spoke for over an hour. She took notes, asked great questions, and literally appeared already invested and sincere.
Although some time has past, her office staff has kept in touch - whereas no other office followed up even once.
Many friends referred their attorneys, some I met. I found Attorney Cordano on my own. Divorce and child custody can have complex challenges. I want someone smart, experienced, and can understand what is best.

My experience with Emy as my attorney was great. She took the time to make sure she knew my story, what I wanted and ensured I was comfortable with my decisions but in turn was able to tell me what was reasonable and not so reasonable. I was able to see everything on my end as well as the opposing side in my paternity case and never felt blindsided. I had confidence in her in which made me feel confident in my case. I also loved that I was able to get invoice with an explanation of everything I was being charged for and why. Thank you Emy!

I have worked with Emy for over a year now. She is very professional and on top of it. I would recommend her to any of my clients. She is the type of attorney that you would want on your side in the court room not the other way around. With that said she is a pleasure to be with.

My wife had to deal with a pretty nasty battle between her and her ex over their children. After much searching my wife found Emy. In my dealings with her I found that Emy actually cared about what happened with my wife and her situation. Emy fought hard to ensure my wife got what she wanted and we weren't "left out in the cold" when it came to my step kids. Emy also worked with us financially, which allowed us to not only use her valuable skills but also not sink into debt while doing so. She goes against the old thought that all attorneys are only out for money and will do anything for it. She is a truly remarkable human being and a tenacious lawyer. She is very knowledgeable, experienced, caring and loyal. She is always straight forward and honest with you, even if you don't want to hear it. This is a remarkable and amazing facet of her practice that most lawyers don't have. If something is not attainable she lets you know, and never promises you anything she can't deliver. I would highly recommend Emy to anyone that needs an attorney to fight for and believe in them. If a situation between my wife and her ex ever arises again we will very quickly return to Emy to ensure that our situation gets taken care of in the most professional and personable way possible. Emy... thank you for all you have done, you are amazing!

WORST ATTORNEY I HAVE EVER HAD A CONSULTATION WITH! Rating one star because zero stars isn't an option.

Went in for a consultation to which Emy showed up extremely arrogant and judgmental from the very moment she walked into the room. Her receptionist had taken my credit card as soon as I arrived, had I kown she hadn't charged my account the consultation fee I would have walked out of the consultation the moment she came in...but I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt, something she didn't deserve. She didn't listen to anything I had to say and told me it was my fault my ex was causing problems and there was nothing that could be done about it and, better yet, that I should be THANKING her for telling me that. I'm stuck in hell for the next 8.5 years and Emy offered zero assistance.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON A UNCARING AND ARROGANT ATTORNEY LIKE EMY!

**Update: When Emy read my review she threatened, bullied, and attempted to blackmail me into removing my review. She called me a liar and threatened me with a lawsuit for my honest review. I did amend my review after I had learned she did not actually charge me a consultation fee. I had no knowledge the fee wasn't actually charged to my account as I did not stick around for a receipt. As soon as I verified I was not actually charged the fee I removed that statement from my review. If I had honestly known I did not pay for the consultation prior to Emy coming into the room I would have left the moment she came in the room. Most unprofessional ad humiliating consultation I have ever attended. I cannot remove a truthful and honest review of my experience.

I cannot say enough good about Emy. This is an attorney who uses facts and those facts need to be backed up with documents. You cant find many lawyers who fight with the truth and takes every case they take on personal and fights for you as if you are family. She helped me through a very nasty situation. She shows compassion and tells you what you need to know not what you want to know. She never promises anything that she cant deliver. She is one of a kind and she will now be my go to person if i ever have a situation with my ex. You want to know the truth about a lawyer then ask a client that has worked with them from beginning to end.

Emy has gotten me through a really hard time in my life, by accepting my case and getting all the paperwork and everything taken care from start to finish. I was thinking about filing on line, but didn't t have the time to hassle with paperwork and everything else involved. She is so nice and makes you feel so comfortable the moment you meet her. She does also charge reasonable rates. I'm not made of money and was having a lot of financial situations in my life due to the divorce. She was so willing and wonderful to work with me. Thank you again Emy!

Best of 4 attorney's over the past 5 years; beats Olsen's, Woodall, McIntyre and thankfully didn't retain Jolly. Emy is a solid professional from initial meeting to finish. Her retainer is industry average for anyone good and her agreement is thorough; helped when emotions clouded my perspective to see my sons. Emy listened, crystalized the key points, then let me know my chances; no other attorney ever gave the odds. After I agreed, she developed a plan, with estimated budget, and most efficient path to my goal. Her filings efficiently preserved the record, yet avoided drawn out costly responses when provoked by the opposing counsel to escalate costs & break me financially. Now, I get to see my sons more often for several years at a fair and reasonable price. Highly recommend Emy.

Emy handled my divorce brilliantly. During my initial consultation, I felt she genuinely cared about my situation and wanted to help. She was kind and never condescending. Emy was fair and efficient, and tough when fighting for me. My divorce was an ugly mess. I survived it and was very pleased with the final results, thanks to Emy. I highly recommend her to anyone going through a divorce. She's amazing!
