Divorce
Attorney Andrew was very direct,honest and a beast in the courtroom Very satisfied how the case went. The case went exactly how he described it ,and won without going to trial. The judge agreed with everything he said and is making my ex wife pay for the attorney fees A job well done
Andrew Korduba
Replied last February 23, 2021Knowledge, skill and preparation wins cases; BEFORE you ever step into a courtroom. But knowing the rules of court and calling out the BS of witnesses or lawyers trying to manipulate the system while in court also helps "put the iron in the fire too." We don't back down from a fight and will take on any opponent at any level; regardless of their reputation or attitude or intimidation. Winning without going to trial by having the Judge agree with your lawyer in advance and having your opponent pay your attorney's fees will help them "think twice" before taking you back to court again. Because they know that I will there with you every step along the way and I will make them pay when proven wrong. Its what we do; every single day for every single client. For over 20+ years. Thank you for the kind review; I'm glad were were able to kick some butt. Best wishes.

Excellent lawyer, professional and courteous.
Hired for a contested divorce. Was extremely knowledgeable and fought hard for me and my children. Everything was handled in a timely, efficient manner. Gave great advice on what steps to take and what to file and how.
Andrew Korduba
Replied last February 23, 2021Terminating a marriage and "untying the knot" is one of the most difficult and emotional experiences of a person's life. And having an experienced and compassionate lawyer on your side to help navigate through all the legal complexities, options and consequences is of the utmost importance. A lawyer you can rely on; a lawyer you can trust has your best personal and financial interests in mind. That's simply what we have done for thousands of clients for over 20+ years throughout northeast Ohio. Thank you for the opportunity to be of service during this most difficult event of a lifetime. I hope that working with my office helped you and your children get through this as amicably and efficiently as possible. Best wishes.

Needed a Atty with experience...
This was the second time I used Atty Korduba, over the last 5 years (two different cases in that time frame). When I met with Andy, I thought the eventual outcome would be mediocre at best (just due to the type of case it was). I can tell you now, it turned out WELL ABOVE mine and my wife’s expectati...
Andrew Korduba
Replied last February 23, 2021Happy to be of service and glad we got the positive outcome in court. We had a good case against a bad opponent who had no problem lying to anyone and everyone; including the court and even his own lawyer. But we stuck to our guns and justice prevailed for you and your family. It is always a good feeling when the "good guy" wins in court and the "bad guy" loses and goes home empty-handed with his tail between his legs. But I could not have done it without your trust, support and belief in what we were doing; and how we were doing it. Winning cases in court is a battle which requires a system of approach and the experience and nerve to execute when necessary. It takes a "team effort" and that's why we work "with" clients and not "for" clients. Thank you for your consideration, patience and support; much appreciated. Best wishes.

He doesn’t blow smoke up your skirt
Andrew Korduba is compassionate, understanding and has a determination to do his best to get what is right for you. I went to him, after another attorney totally raked me over the coals in my divorce. My case was a mess on so many levels. His only concern was to help get the most fair settlement poss...
Andrew Korduba
Replied last February 22, 2021You were one of my FAVORITE clients; thank you for allowing and trusting me to help you. I know that you were worried and skeptical about lawyers and the legal system before you called my office; because of a prior negative experience. I hope that working with my office showed you that you do not need to be afraid; and that "justice will prevail" when presented properly with a thorough knowledge of the law and facts of the case. Yes, your case was a mess; but nothing I have not handled before during my past 20+ years helping thousands of other clients in similar situations as yours. But I could not have done it without your time, patience, cooperation and belief in the process. Together we managed to "right a wrong" and "fix" what was happening to you in court; once and for all! It was a true pleasure working "with" you and not "for" you. And I truly appreciate the fact that you understood and wanted our "direct no BS" style of legal services and representation. Most clients want lawyers to BS them and "tell them what they want to hear." But we simply cannot and will not do that. We will always be direct and honest with clients about their wishes or expectations and the possible outcome of their case: good or bad. As you said, we don't "BLOW SMOKE" up your skirt. That simply wouldn't be right and is not how we do things around here. Direct, efficient, honest and accurate legal services is what we do. Thanks again for your kind review. It was truly a pleasure working with you and getting a good result. Happy for you. Good luck and best wishes.
