Overall process was fair. They kept me informed updated adequately. Had a good experience.

They r not helping, they got my money and they haven't done anything even they haven't return my phone call or text msg. I dont recommend to anyone.

Custody Cases And Divorces and pretty much all family law cases are terrible. A huge amount of emotions that drains both parties. Writing a review for a law firm at the end of such an experience is usually the last thing on a plaintiffs agenda. Although everyone’s personal experience is different, my experience with cordell and atny Megan williams was very positive. As an out state client I felt my needs were listened to. Yes, this process was costly but all legal processes are. I called around and I found their fees were much better than most and their location easy to accommodate.

My goals were simple more parenting time if your goals are the same give her a call.

Good luck to all

☹️I was a client and this is my opinion. If there was a negative star I would give it.

Horrible people that only take your money

I never write reviews, for anything. The way I look at it, if this review can stop someone from making the worst decision of their life by using this firm, its worth it.

DO NOT USE THIS FIRM. I highly suggest you use a local, flat rate attorney. This firm is a huge corporation who doesn't care about you or your situation. Do not fall for the $100 consult.

You will not be able to ask questions about your case without being charged at least $50-$100, even for a simple yes or no question.
.I did not receive my discovery questions on time, they greatly miscalculated my child support worksheet, told me "there is no way your wife will get alimony" ( guess what? she did ), and had no clue how to answer simple questions of the divorce process. Having been through these cases before and this being their job, one would think they would have basic knowledge of how things go, they do not.

After the consult, you'll be charged $200 an hour for mundane, simple tasks. Any email or call will not only cost you $50-$100, they will also charge you $50-$100 to reply to you! You'll then go through discovery which is an awful, tedious process of documenting everything you and your soon to be ex have done. After discovery is mediation. This is the kicker, before a trial can be set, you must go to mediation. If you are a man and you make more money than your wife, PREPARE TO BE HAD. Knowing that you are a man and make more money, your wife's atty and your wife will ask and more than likely get whatever they want ( custody, alimony, child support, you name it ). Sure, you can get up and walk out but you'll only have to return to mediation and start all over again. Your other option is to go to trial but you will continue to pay your atty, your wife's atty ( guaranteed if you make more than your wife ), and the mediator ( just another atty you're also going to be paying $300 an hour ). So basically, you'll be paying $1,000 an hour to argue with your wife over things that she knows you'll cave to bc you are paying $1,000 an hour to dispute them. You'll be stuck between a rock and a hard place and by a hard place I mean a trial that will be at least 6 months down the road and cost an extra $30k ( min ). You'll have to go through depositions which will likely involve everyone you know and cost $10k. You'll be urged to take the deal at mediation, no matter how raw of a deal it is for you. Trust me, even if things are somewhat amicable with your wife, things will get ugly here. Your wife will not care if this process drags out bc she's not the one paying $1,000 an hour, its you!

So if you want out and want out fast, you'll cave at mediation or be hit with a mountain of legal fees no one will recover from for what will most likely be the same or worse ruling if your case actually went to trial 6 months down the road.

I BEG YOU to go with a local, flat rate atty. This will save you thousands and get you better service. You can be more involved in your case without being nickel and dimed to death.

In closing, here are a few simple tips I can give you that no one told me...

1) Use a local, flat rate atty. DO NOT USE THIS FIRM!!!!
2) DO NOT MOVE OUT, this will be held against you
3) Fight for as much custody as you can, this will reduce your child support
4) Do not do anything that can be held against you in mediation or at trial. In the event you go to trial ANYTHING you've done will be held against you and will sway the judge against you. Remember, you are already swayed against bc you are a man and if you make more money, its even more so.
5) Fight hard at mediation, once that day is done and its signed, you'll have to live with the results for the rest of your life.
6) You will not be able to deduct your alimony and child support from your taxes ( recent tax law change, thanks to Trump *sarcasm*)
7) If your wife does not work or has not worked for years, you will be paying alimony until you die.

I agree, its a man's world...until its time to get divorced. If your wife doesn't know that already, I assure you her atty will inform her.

I had a great experience at Cordell & Cordell. Nobody wants to go through a divorce but if you have to do it, you want someone who is going to walk you through the process step by step, communicate with you regularly and make sure you understand everything that's happening as it happens. Katie did exactly that.
