Cordell & Cordell - Divorce Attorney Office

Annemarie Duerr is a fantastic lawyer, who will always fight for you. My case is an absolute train wreck and her results have exceeded my expectations. If you want a lawyer who treats you as a person, and not the source of a paycheck, Annemarie should be your choice.

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.

i wouldnt hire this firm to get custody of a dog from the pound DONT DO IT ashley ward of cordell and cordell was inattentive, mediocre , and put me in a worse position that i was in , ive contacted several fathers rights groups in baltimore and we have been able to remove this law firms folders and advertisements from several groups , their claims of being a fathers rights law firm is just to get you in .. STAY AWAY they charge way way to much ,do very little , and ignore requests for action.. ive contacted several radio stations to eliminate their misleading advertisements , ashley has been submitted to the attorney greivance commision and ashley by far was the worst attorney that i have ever had the displeasure of knowing and working with , this law firm is a joke... i should have gone through and read how many negative reviews they have.. O stars

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.

When faced with the daunting task of finding a lawyer to represent me in my time of dire need, I was lucky enough to find Matt Rudo. He always puts my daughter’s wellbeing first and that’s what it’s all about. I was stressed from the surprise of being served asking for child support, then being served because my ex-wife was trying to take full custody, and now another child support case, where my ex-wife frustrates every aspect of the process. During this entire experience, Matt has remained professional and reassuring. He offers guidance which is hopeful and also realistic. He has used his experience to provide guidance which I describe only as completely and thoroughly worth it. When there are administrative tasks, a paralegal to complete the task, as to save me money, since their rates are lower. When I had to deal with the accounting department, they were also easy to deal with. Something to remember is the lawyer can only do what you allow them to, on your behalf. So if I wouldn’t have taken Matt’s guidance, or not allowed him to complete certain actions or file motions, which I had to pay him to do as his job, I would not likely have had such a favorable outcome. I have recommended Matt Rudo to anyone who seems as if they do or ever could have an issue which he could help with. When I pay his bill, I see it as an investment in my daughter’s future and wellbeing, because if I was lax in this case, it would affect her entire life, as anyone’s life who is trying to raise her to be any bit of a decent human, and thank you to Matt, she will have a fighting chance.
