G Ware Cornell Jr.

Ware has now represented/advised me on 4 different legal matters, and two of them were not a formal engagement, but just reflective of his hidden compassion, whereas he never asked for a penny for his attentive help to educate my engaged attorney’s that only focused on billing! Ware has responded ...to messages during the early hours to quell my fears! Or his generosity of his off hours, by taking time on a Sunday, or while vacationing in the keys with limited cell service to address my concerns, that no attorney of his caliber would ever do, especially after 40+ years of private practice! He will try to and states that he keeps the emotions out of his process, and that he cant take an emotional stake in my cases, and he adamantly sticks to the rule of law, but his generosity of his time and help in cases that he has no financial interest in suggests otherwise. I have unfortunately had to engage 8 lawyers over the last 6 years, and his professionalism and his understated genuine hidden nature to protect and nurture his clients is a quality that reveals itself over the years. He genuinely cares to the accuracy and legal adherence to the rule of law and is beyond generous with his time! His assistant “Brittne” is so sweet, compassionate and reflects Wares’s core values.. in my opinion” integrity, honesty, caring compassionate advocate of my rights” I have not been 100% successful in all the matters that was represented for me. But if you want to have an attorney that is so brilliant and detailed and attentive, then Mr Cornell is the only lawyer you should consider. His is unlike any attorney I have ever engaged and if you want representation by the “shark” whereas all other attorneys swim in his pond!

WIth pleasure I write this review of G. Ware Cornell. I was referred to Ware when I began to be harassed by an employer for reporting a harassment issue. I reported the claim to the HR department of a large company as I was obligated to due by law. Initially, I trusted the HR department would do wh...at they are legally and morally obligated to do in such a case. When they didn't and began to harass me for reporting the claim, I contacted Ware. Ware was very competent and attentive. He answered my numerous questions and was available whenever I needed him. He was so good, in fact, it was obvious his skill level and reputation intimidated his opponents. It lightened my burden and stress to see him in action. When meeting with opposing counsel, they knew they no longer had control of the situation and I could no longer be bullied. Additionally, I was happy with the settlement. Ware's fees were also very fair, especially since he spent a lot of time working the case. Without Ware, this situation would have been unbearable and there would have been noone to hold the employer accountable for their actions. I saw the negative reivew for Ware and do not believe any of the comments could be reliable based on my experience with him. Since then, I have referred Ware to several other clients and they too received the same kind of experienced and professional care as I. Should you find yourself facing a legal issue with an employer, Ware Cornell is an excellent attorney to have in your corner.

Ware has been my attorney for several years and has handled two different lawsuits for me, one of which is ongoing. He and his staff have always worked tirelessly on my behalf and have always been available when I've needed them and most importantly have always made me feel part of the process. I hav...e sent him emails at 2AM and he has answered them right away. One of my lawsuits was very emotionally charged, and very protracted courtesy of a huge multi-national with deep pockets who did their best to delay my case. They filed dozens of motions and vilified me. Ware and his staff kept me sane, on an even keel and gave me strength to see it through. Ware possesses an encyclopedic mind, is a brilliant tactician and is refreshingly candid and above all, honest. He and his firm are highly ethical and I know are well respected within the legal community. I have referred several people to his firm whom I know were very happy as well.

I met with Ware when he was recommended by a friend. I liked him right away, and I hired him. It was my first time hiring an attorney, and I should have asked him more questions to understand his work style. But I liked him and trusted my friend's recommendation. I would have been happier working... with an organized, strategic planner. If I had received a phone call or email every couple of months with an update on my case, that would have been better. Had Ware spelled out the specifics of my financial obligations to him up front instead of sending me seemingly random and sporadic invoices, I would have trusted him more. But what really bothered me is that Ware took away ownership of my case. I told him I wanted to be at all the depositions for my case, but instead he held them without my knowledge. He did not consult with me to learn details that these depositions could have brought to light. I never heard from him after depositions with a summary of what took place. As I see it, this was my case, and Ware was there to help me, but he seemed to think I had little role in it. In the end, the real value of my case was over 200K less than his original estimate. When did he break this news to me? On the morning before the final mediation. It's been two years since my case concluded, and I waited to write this review because I wanted to see if time would soften my perspective. In the past two years, I've gotten to know dozens of attorneys through my current job, and have a clearer picture of attorneys can potentially operate. They can be organized. They can be transparent communicators. They can keep their clients in the loop. But Ware doesn't.
