Great lawyer!

Stephen was a great, knowledgeable, and understanding lawyer. He listened, laid out a plan, and executed very quickly. Could not have been happier with the outcome

Posted by Benjamin Harris | March 22, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Stay home father

I was a stay home dad for 12 years for 4 children (3 of the children we had together) and one day we decided it was best to go separate ways. I had to get a lawyer which was from Cordell and Cordell and they had Mr Babe work on my case. Like anyone else who does practice law we don't understand or ...know what we getting into. First thing first child custody situation is a long process. It doesn't happen overnight like what we see in movies or TV shows. Number 2 trust and listen to Cordell and Cordell (or Mr.Babe) they been doing this for years and have experience. Once again I had lack of patience and experience so I did felt overwhelmed. Also concern for the children because I used to be with them 24/7 before the break up. Best thing I loved and respected what Mr babe dud was explained every little detail to me about the process. Mr babe a great listener as well. There was time where he would say a certain thing n I would tell him this person we fighting against is different he would listen and change his method. So that a sign of him paying attention. The best thing about Mr Babe and this is very common with other lawyers he doesn't blow smoke up your @ss. He will tell you the truth and possibly chance of losing even if you did all the right things. You could be up by 100 points n yet he would say we could still lose. Mr Babe understand that a judge can change his or her mind in a split second so he doesn't want us to feel it an easy case to win because nothing easy when it comes to a child. With everything being done win or lose I would still Mr Babe in my corner everything because he has a straight forward answers and willing to listen.
