I retained Niecie M Strand after having 2 previous lawyers in my high conflict divorce. I wish I had retained Niecie right from the start, for she was given a tough situation with a lot to cover in a short amont of time. She went to work, and work she did. There were several times when Niecie and myself would be on the phone discussing my divorce, and she would have an email sent out to me, the Judge and the Petitoner’s side, ready to review, before we got off the phone. I know that sounds unrealistic but it the truth or close to it. She is Sharp, and on top of it in mediation, court or any situation that came up. Niecie also has the ability to negotiate hard on your behave, she’s not just a middle man. She is tough, Gritty, and will go to bat for you. I now set the bar at her standards if I ever need a lawyer again. I highly recommend Niecie M Stand to anyone in a divorce and hire her early.
Not only did my fiancé not get what he wanted! But they clearly seem to favor the opposing side! And to think we paid 3,000 up front for what ?! He didn’t even get what he wanted. And they’re asking for an additional 900$, do not go with Cordell! Was not worth it only thing that can happen is if they can actually give my fiancé his money worth! Doubt that’ll happen though.

Edina divorce attorney Niecie M. Strand enjoys individually working with people going through life transitions. That is what drew her to family law.

Ms. Strand is extremely patient and able to stay calm through adversity. That comes in handy as family law matters are among the most difficult legal proceedings and individual can go through.

“It helps to take a deep breath,” Ms. Strand said. “This will likely get more difficult before it gets better. Keep your focus on the goal and let’s get there together.”
Prior to joining Cordell & Cordell, Ms. Strand worked in a general practice firm as a paralegal and attorney. Her primary areas of practice included family law, estate planning, and probate.
