Cordell & Cordell | Family Law & Divorce

I would never ever in my life ever suggest this law firm to absolutely anyone specifically, Miss Ward. She’s probably the worst lawyer that I have ever known. She will not do her best to represent you. In fact, she will probably cost you to lose more. She represented my father in his divorce case, and did an absolute terrible job to the point where he fired her. Thousands of dollars on a lawyer that doesn’t even have your best interest. All she could talk about was how good the opposite lawyer was that was representing my dad’s ex spouse. This firm honestly needs to get rid of her. She did not work diligently on his case she barely put in any effort and she was not worth 1000s of dollars that was spent. An absolutely atrocious law firm, and again I would never ever in my life recommend this law firm to anyone. There are plenty of others that you can choose from one that doesn’t have 3.8 star reviews.

In a time of complete turmoil and uncertainty, Cordell & Cordell provided me with peace of mind and a wealth of information and support. From the moment Annemarie Duerr stepped into our consultation and started speaking with me, I began to feel an immediate sense of relief. She thoroughly went over the details of my situation and told me about the options and avenues available to me. With the information at my disposal, I felt a huge weight lifted from my shoulders and immediately I knew that I wanted HER to be my attorney. Cordell & Cordell was able to provide me a sense of security throughout the most challenging juncture of my life. I highly recommend their services. Thank you, Annemarie, for all that you've done.

The Baltimore Office refused to take my Highly Contentious Divorce proceeding because "it was too involved". When they advertise to be a Partner for Men, because Mr. Cordell has been through a divorce himself, they lie. When I desperately needed a lawyer who WOULD FIGHT for My RIGHTS as a FATHER, they hung me out to dry. Even with their GROSSLY HIGH Requested Costs and Fees, that I was willing to pay, they wanted nothing to do with my Case. I am STILL Fighting my EX in Court, 6 Years later because She Refuses to Obey Court Orders. MOST Family Lawyers Do NOT Want to Actually WORK for their disgustingly HIGH WAGES. They only want to show up, agree with everything your Ex-Wife wants and move onto the Next Father who is doing everything they can to NOT LOSE quite literally Everything that they have worked for in their lives. I have lost my House, My Career, 75% of my PERSONAL Possessions and for now, Most Importantly My Daughter. These are some of the people that are the reason why people Hate Lawyers. WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND. 🤮👎👎👎👎

Cordell & Cordell did an amazing job! My assigned attorney, Matthew Rudo, was vigilant with constant communication regarding my case. He included me in every aspect of the case so that I stayed informed and asked my opinion on every matter, which I appreciated very much. My case was particularly interesting due to the fact that my ex wife was trying for full custody many years after our initial divorce and custody agreement. I couldn’t have been any happier with attorney Rudo and his actions that led to a legal victory. I would and have recommended Cordell & Cordell since my recent case.

My attorney was well prepared and accessible. I was well represented. I recommend their services.

The bar isn’t set very high here. Initial consultation sounded great with the head woman who "wasn’t scared of any opposing lawyers". I quickly found out her staff is borderline incompetent and did not stand for their client. Mine is a simple 50-50 custody of 2 kids but somehow I got short changed to pay more in child support and lose a day per week of custody. I was literally arguing with my lawyer to represent me and the best interests of my children as she was coaxing me to "not go to court" and "this is fair". I had to correct her on several topics/edits and now I have one last document for review but not without the detainer since my case has been closed.

Excellent service and advice. Matt was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive to every need, question and action that was needed to complete a separation agreement as well as follow through for the divorce. He alleviated the entire stress and anxiety of going though the entire divorce process. I was particularly impressed with his professional communications with the opposing counsel which was crucial to establishing and finalizing a fair and equitable agreement. Matt and the entire Cordell&Cordell team have my highest recommendation.
