Hello,
Anyone use CordellCordell for their lawyers for Divorce at all? Or in Michigan (that is where I am using them in Ann Arbor Office).

I switched lawyers from someone who I did not see a fit with, to this firm. They sounded great and the initial consultation was great, they seemed great.
I told my wife (she asked, maybe shouldn't have told her, but she would find out anyway).
Then she sends me a link to a whole bunch of bad reviews about them and again (like everything else she does/says) she is making me second guess myself. I am sure that is her plan/idea to do that to me but it just stresses me out more.
So anyone have good/bad experiences with them? How were they as lawyers? Did you get screwed? did you get what was fair? Did they over charge you?
Or any other comments I would greatly appreciate it.

So, so far they are being really good. Most of the negative things I found were from out of state (outside MI) so hopefully it is better here and it is just my wife trying to scare me (since I am the one that asked for the divorce).
So are you having your attorneys set up documents that are designed for husbands/dads? Have you made it clear that they are NOT there to protect or promote her rights and instead are there to protect and promote your rights over her rights and she has the right to have her own attorney present?
Yes she has her own lawyer (just found out the other day) and mine has my best interest at heart and not hers. I was just thinking if we could come to an agreement on possessions, then we could have our lawyers sign off on what we agreed to for possessionsto get this out of the way and save a ton of money on lawyers/etc. This should be the easy part compared to custody for the kids.
I echo what others have said that calls and e-mails count as communication and usually you get charged for them. Be careful. If you speak with a paralegal, you can get charged to. If you speak too much with a secretary, you can wind up having her time charged to you also. So carefully think before you contact them. Good luck.
