G Ware Cornell Jr.

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.

I have worked with Mr. G. Ware Cornell on several occasions when my company retained his services. It was always a stellar and professional experience. His knowledge of employment law is beyond compare. He is practical, straight forward and is very responsive to the client’s needs. Mr. Cornell asse...sses the case, explains the pros and cons and discusses the options. He always has your best interests in mind. He keeps you informed and anytime I phoned or emailed him I always received a response that day or the next. I also felt that our legal issues were always a priority. Mr. Cornell is a caring, competent attorney who will go the extra mile for his clients to see that they receive the best representation possible. I highly recommend G. Ware Cornell!

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.
