I am a lawyer, like everyone else I know, except for most of my clients who hold real jobs. Rather I should say, 'held real jobs', because when you come to see me, it is usually because you have lost your job or soon will. I am the white great-great grandson of a slave-owning Confederate private.
I am the white great-great grandson of a slave-owning Confederate private. I attended superb Southern schools that were segregated. My parents belonged to restricted clubs. I entered college and law school with lesser qualifications than women applicants who were denied admission. I got my first job because of whom I knew, or rather whom my parents were. I never complained about any of this. In short and in truth, everything that can be given by birthright to a person has been given to me, whether I deserved it or not.
Despite the accident of my birth, I try cases in the federal courts for individuals who struggle by reason of the accident of their birth or circumstance for the right to earn a living without being judged on any basis but their innate qualities as human beings.

One of the best!
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...

The Labor Law Guru
Cornell was referred to us by a close friend. I, as well as so many others, consider him "The Specialist" in his field. He is honest and to the point, no nonsense. We were successful thanks to his guidance and experience. We have and will continue to recommend Cornell to others.

Success Twice and Looking for a Third
I've used Ware twice in the last three years and I'm close to hiring him again for a third time. I was involved in a business deal/loan that went south with the economy. The counter party was not honoring his commitment per our contract so I had to take it to the next level. I contacted Ware for gui...

Client Review
Mr. Cornell filed three lawsuits on my behalf involving the same facts and the exact same matter by splitting the defendants. From the onset I requested that Mr. Cornell add all of the responsible parties in one lawsuit. He informed me that legally I could not. Four years later, I would discover f...
The client obtained a six figure verdict, and was disappointed he did not recover much more. I was too, but the client wished to proceed further on a contingency basis and we did. I was unsuccessful in those efforts. As a result, the client incurred some costs, while we invested an enormous amount of time for which we did not recover seeking justice for this individual. I am proud of the work I did on his behalf. Anyone wishing to see the briefs and memoranda we prepared, I will be pleased to forward a copy.

NOT RECCOMENDED. VERY BAD
took $3500.00 then withdraws without ever doing sufficent work to respond to pending motions used for age discrimination case. this caused me to have a $600.00 judgment against me. When asked if they would fix the situation they just said I should pay the money.
We accepted the client in questions age discrimination case and took it through discovery and into mediation. In his deposition two days before the mediation he admitted that in a unpublished 10th Circuit case, the United States District Court had found that his expulsion from pharmacy school for plagiarism was "substantially true" The client in question failed to show up on time for the mediation two days later even though he had verbal and written notice of the mediation. The Court assessed a fees of the mediator against the client personally for his arriving two hours late for the mediation. Over a year latter, he has not paid it. The client demanded that we pay his assessment and said that if we did not he would file a negative report on Avvo, which he did. I moved to withdraw when the Defendant moved for summary judgment because in my opinion I could not file anything on his behalf which would not be frivolous. As an officer of the court, I am precluded from wasting the court's time on a matter which is meritless, a condition we learned two days before mediation.
"I endorse this lawyer. Ware is extremely knowledgeable and competent and he's a terrific litigator. I've worked with him on a couple of matters and enjoyed it very much."
"It is my pleasure to endorse Ware Cornell as a lawyer's lawyer who has distinguished himself as one of Florida's outstanding lawyers. Ware has worked with some of Florida's finest Judges and Attorneys. He is recognized as an attorney with the highest ability and ethics by his peers."
