Smooth Adoption

After being on the adoption journey for two years we matched with a birth family and met Vaughn. His wisdom and demeanor gave us a lot of comfort in this “confusing and overwhelming” process. Vaughn was extremely helpful during the birth and the days when we were waiting to be able to leave. He made ...it quick and seamless in our eyes even though there was a lot going on to make it happen. Vaughn truly cares about all parties involved and seeks the best for them. We are so thankful to Vaughn for playing such a huge role in bringing our family together.

Adoption Peace

Our adoption was a little chaotic from the time we were matched, but Vaughn gave us peace and helped us navigate the obstacles. He kept us informed and answered our questions timely. He is knowledgeable and fair.

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!

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!

Grateful

We are very appreciative to Vaughn Cordes for all he did for our adoption. He communicated with us well, and he guided us along every step of the way. I especially appreciate how efficient he was with the paperwork, especially at the time of birth. He spent quite a bit of time answering our question...s and faxing the hospital. It was so reassuring to us that we had someone knowledgeable to lead us through the whole process. He did a wonderful job preparing us for our court hearing, and we were able to fully enjoy the moment without having anxiety about what would happen or where to go. We are so thankful to Vaughn and will always appreciate how he was a key figure in bringing our baby girl home, and now he feels like family to us.

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.
