Cordell & Cordell

Positive: Professionalism, ValueIn early 2021 I found myself in need of legal counsel as the result of my now ex-wife deciding that she no longer wanted to be married to me. Needless to say, this situation was extremely stressful and not at all what I wanted for my children, my ex-spouse, or myself. Nevertheless, the die was cast in my ex’s mind so I had to take steps to protect myself, my biological son, and, to a degree, my step-daughter and former spouse as the divorce process moved along.At this point I decided to do some investigating and I found that the law firm of Cordell l Cordell (C l C) specialized in representing only men in divorces. After speaking and corresponding with a few attorneys and staff members at sundry different law firms in Knoxville, TN I finally decided to contact C l C and see what advice and services they could provide me with as I slogged through my divorce proceedings.I had an initial consultation with attorney John Vaught in C l C’s Knoxville office. A week or so later, I officially retained C l C to provide me with legal representation during my divorce. At that point, attorney Emily B. Vowell was assigned my case. Despite the fact that my case was not one with a great deal of financial assets to be fought over and, thankfully, had a relatively low chance of going to trial I found Emily to be a tireless advocate for me and my son. Emily and the staff at C l C kept me up-to-date on the status of my case and provided me with excellent advice as to how and when to provide documents for both my ex-wife’s counsel and C l C. More than once Emily demonstrated that she was willing to fight for my best interest even when I was, at times, willing to concede more than I probably should have been willing to give up.Ultimately, Emily stood by me and helped me make it through responding to my ex-wife’s divorce petition and child custody plan, discovery, and expertly guided me through the process of divorce mediation. Though I didn’t get everything that I wanted out of my divorce (this is especially true since I really didn’t want the divorce at all), Emily’s steady mindset and willingness to eagerly advocate for me, even when I didn’t feel like advocating for myself, helped me secure just about as solid of a financial and, more importantly, child custody arrangement as I could have hoped for going into the divorce proceedings.I would highly recommend that any man who is facing divorce, whether the individual wants or doesn’t want the divorce, at least contact the folks at Cordell l Cordell and see what advice and support that the firm, and especially Emily B. Vowell (if one is dealing with divorce in East Tennessee [or Georgia or Florida – where Emily is also licensed to practice law]), might be able to provide him with to help the individual make the best, most informed, decision that he can regarding how to proceed with the divorce process.While I hope that I never need C l C’s or Emily’s legal services again I know that, if such a need ever does arise in my life, I can turn to Cordell l Cordell and Emily B. Vowell for quality representation and support.In early 2021 I found myself in need of legal counsel as the result of my now ex-wife deciding that she no longer wanted to be married to me.
