Adopting

We appreciate Mr Cordes very much! We have adopted one through him and are matched with the second. He has always kept his word. He is very busy and text works best at times. Our Marshallese was our third adoption and by far the easiest of any! Brenda

Adoption Review

My husband and myself contacted Mr. Cordes in January of 2016. It was a very difficult decision that we prayed on for months. We have been trying to adopt a baby from RMI for the last 3 and half years! We submitted our dossier last year after waiting on a list with our agency for almost 24 months! Du...e to the slow down in international adoptions on the islands we decided that we would pursue a Marshallese domestic adoption. (It wasn't an option for our family to switch countries..we desire an open adoption. We truly love the Marshallese culture) In January I started calling all attorney facilitating Marshallese domestic adoption in Arkansas. I asked many questions..the other attorneys just told me to submit there application and they would match us..they didn't have the time to speak to me so I felt... but Vaughn he was extremely patient, kind, and compassionate regarding our unique situation! He answered all questions and never once rushed the conversation. He did inform me that his firm is a small firm so communication is an issue for some so he did want me to no that just incase that would be an issue..We were recently matched with a very lovely family! Its been so fun and exciting bonding with them! Justin Vaughn's interpreter is great! He is super attentive to the Marshallese families! He truly loves each one of them and looks out for them! They look up to Justin. Ive contacted Justin many times to ask questions or just to visit about RMI and he is always happy to answer my calls.

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.
