Cordell & Cordell

Cordell & Cordell is a national family law firm co-founded in 1990 by Joseph E. Cordell and Yvonne Cordell. The firm began as a general practice with a focus on men’s divorce and family law matters. It has since developed a broad network of attorneys who represent individuals and parents facing difficult domestic relations issues. Its work emphasizes protecting parental roles, financial interests, property, and legal rights throughout family court proceedings.

Cordell & Cordell handles divorce, child custody, child support, asset and property division, spousal support, legal separation, and modification of existing court orders. Its services also cover collaborative divorce, contempt proceedings, paternity matters, prenuptial agreements, protection orders, military divorce, family law appeals, and estate planning. The firm assists clients with both negotiated resolutions and contested cases, providing guidance that reflects applicable state laws and the circumstances surrounding each family dispute.

Cordell & Cordell maintains more than 100 offices and has more than 200 attorneys serving clients across over 35 states. Local lawyers provide state-specific advice while drawing on the experience and resources of a national family law network. This structure allows attorneys to share knowledge about court procedures, case strategies, financial concerns, parenting disputes, and other issues that frequently arise before, during, and after divorce.

Cordell & Cordell places particular emphasis on fathers’ rights and addressing stereotypes or imbalances that may affect parents in family court. The firm supports clients through educational articles, state legal resources, frequently asked questions, and a divorce-focused podcast. Its attorneys aim to provide clear communication, practical direction, and committed advocacy while helping clients understand their options, prepare for proceedings, and pursue outcomes that protect their families and future interests.
