This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Thorough and very smart guy

Mr. Cordes helped me work through a complicated situation that involved a guardianship that happened during a divorce case. It was a very odd twist in what I thought was just a "typical" divorce, but he was able to pick apart the details and suggested two ways to fix the problem. He was very good abo...ut keeping me informed and was always prompt about calling me back. Also, the settlement of my divorce was mostly fair, which i hear that most divorces aren't. Mr. Cordes made a hard situation much more bearable that it might have been. Thank you.

Compassionate Professional

I hired Tim to help me with a particularly difficult issue regarding a former business partner. Throughout our time together, Tim explained each step of the process, what it entailed and different possible outcomes. He was sympathetic to my plight and created a customized plan of action. Tim was avai...lable for my questions and concerns, and was very communicative throughout our working relationship. No one likes having to go through a lawsuit, and I am so thankful that Tim was on my side.

A lawyer that does more than just treat you like a client..

I have been working with Tim since 2009 on a child custody case involving my daughter. Tim is very knowledgeable about family law and that knowledge ultimately lead me to getting well deserved time with my baby girl. He is very responsive, treating you like you are his highest priority. There have be...en times when I reached out to him while he was on vacation but yet he still put in the effort to get me the counsel I needed at the time. Tim sticks to the facts and only advises when he has law to back it up. I highly recommend Tim for any services in regards to family law.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Tim is an amazing combination of consummate legal skill and a very high "EQ" (emotional IQ). In law, the ability to work well with others is often more important than legal knowledge in getting results for your client. I would recommend Tim without hesitation to anyone seeking a first class family law attorney."
