Adoption

Vaughn matched us with a birth very quickly. Adoption went perfect. Finalized week after birth. Great experience. He was very caring and compassionate. Has a heart for adoption

Happy with our adoption!

We found it easy to work with Vaughn Cordes. We were matched with a baby just days after turning our homestudy in. Then when our baby was born we were able to finish completing adoption in a timely manner. In the meantime we were able to go home on a guardianship permit while we waited. We are thank...ful for how good it all went!

Would use him again

I began contact with Vaughn in October, and was matched in November. He was very helpful, and he gave me a breakdown of expenses in the very beginning. He never asked for more money, and he always got back to me when I had a question. I felt like he treated the birth mom very well, and always made su...re she had what she needed. Justin was a little abrasive, though, and he is looked upon very poorly in the hospital, which made the hospital stay a little rough. Overall, I felt that Vaughn was a good lawyer, and was very ethical. I would use him again if I ever decided to adopt a second time!

Good adoption lawyer!

Would highly recommend adopting thru Vaughn! It was a easy simple adoption & everything went like a dream! He is a one man lawyer so wouldn't expect him to be able to answer every phone call immediately but if u text him he will get back to you in a timely manner!

Excellent Adoption

After many failed adoptions we hired Mr. Cordes to help us adopt. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. He was very clear on the processes upfront. Mr. Cordes responded to phone calls and texts at anytime even after his business hours. We are now home happily rasing our baby boy.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2015.

Reprimand issued in AR, 2015

updated on 06/23/2015

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.
