Cordell & Cordell - Divorce Attorney Office - San Mateo, California

Christopher Batten

18 years of getting no where with child support services in San Mateo. I finally found my financial freedom, thanks to Gertel Smith. Sometimes, you have to put aside you’re emotions and weigh out the pros and cons. For years I have been compliant with child support service and my obligation to support my son. I’m not a deadbeat father San Mateo judges and there over paid lackey attorney’s portray fathers to be. At the Cordell law firm I was greeted with a professional tone that was not invasive. My attorney Gretel Smith answered all my phone calls when I had a question. My advice and recommendation is to hire Gretel Smith and the law firm of Cordell if your dealing with child support services. I could go on and on about how professional they were from my initial first phone call to the end result. I recommend calling Cordell law firm if you want results. Thank you Gretel Smith for being honest and attentive to my future.

Sincerely
Christopher Batten

I just want to let everyone know to stay away from this firm. Micheal and Laura are a couple of cons. They will turn a very simple case into such a suffisticated matter only to rack up their time. They told me that they would require a retainer of $2,500 from me and whatever was left over would be given back to me. Micheal even admitted that my divorce case was one of the most simplest cases he had seen. No kids and no money. Somehow in a matter of 7 weeks, he and Laura racked up about $6,700 in fees without notifying me. My first bill was for $1,300 of which left me $1,200 from my retainer. Then my next bill within 2 weeks cane to $4,200. At this point, they had not even scratched the surface to my case. All I was billed for was telephone calls that were made internally between them. These are terrible people. I immediately called them to let them know that I no longer required their services and that I was going to come by and pick up my documents that I had given them. Would you believe they charged me $450 document pick up fee. Again these guys are terrible people. They do not have your best interest in mind. I assure you. I hired another attorney and in a matter of 2 weeks, I had a settlement for fraction of the cost.
