Adoption Success

Vaughn helped us adopt our beautiful daughter in February of 2022. Our situation was a little chaotic (for us) because she was born a month earlier than we anticipated, but Vaughn kept us calm through the whole process and made sure everything was ready for our finalization. He was very knowledgeabl...e about the entire process and answered every question we had along the way

Couldn't have asked for better!

With the help of Mr. Cordes, my husband and I adopted a beautiful baby boy in May of 2021. We had so many questions and so many fears as we had already gone through a failed adoption a year prior while working with another attorney. Vaughn quietly yet confidently calmed all our fears. He was extre...mely knowledgeable and helped us with everything we needed. No question was too small. He always took time for us and responded quickly to any questions that we had. He was wonderful to work with. He helped tremendously in coordinating things with the hospital at the time of the birth - which wasn't easy given restrictions placed by COVID. He's even followed up with us since we have been home with our son. Our adoption was final just 10 days after our son's birth which is phenomenal! Overall, we can't say enough good things about Vaughn. If we choose to adopt again, we will definitely be contacting Vaughn. He was a joy to work with!

Very precise and helpful

Vaughn did an amazing job in the adoption of our daughter. Things went very smoothly and he had all paperwork complete and very professional.

Wonderful, even during Covid!!

This was our second time using Vaughn to help us with an adoption (two successful adoptions)! We were very confident this time around since we had such a good experience the first time. It was such a relief knowing that we were working with someone we could rely on. Our daughter was born toward the b...eginning of the Covid pandemic when hospitals were allowing no visitors. Vaughn helped us BOTH be able to be in the hospital room with our baby girl! And he did a phenomenal job getting our paperwork all filed and complete despite the courts being closed! We are so grateful for his work for our family, especially during trying times! He is very dependable!

wonderful

Vaughn was a joy to work with. He answered all of our questions. He was very knowledgeable and made sure we knew what to expect. We adopted our son from him and he was amazing. He got all of the paperwork done and we never had to worry about a thing. If we decide to adopt a sibling for our son, we wi...ll use use him again.

Reprimand issued in AR, 2015

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
