EMY DID NOT CARE.

I went to see Emy for the first consult because my ex’s lawyer was trying to push me around and I needed a lawyer to fight for me. Emy acted like she cared about my case, then I decided to to schedule a second appointment because she gave me the impression she would help me. Her assistant cancelled ...and rescheduled my appointment, I waited 1 month to talk to Emy because I thought it would be worth the wait. While waiting to meet with Emy I sent her an Email for her to know why I would like her to represent me, she didn’t respond. I called her office to make sure The appointment is still on to see her, there was no answer. She finally texted me asking if I was still coming in for my appointment, I told her yes. I took time off from work, went to see her, I was 20 mins early, she rudely told me to leave her office because I was too early and to come back. I went back after the 20 minutes, we talked, she told me she’ll take my case, she took my consult fee of $225. It took Emy 2 days to send the agreement papers. I filled it all out, had a friend take the paper work to her because I couldn’t take more time off from work. Miss Emy sat on my case for almost two weeks and did nothing. At one point I mistakenly texted her about my case and she rudely replied that I should never text her again on her phone. A week later I messaged her some questions about my case because I haven’t heard from her and all she did was message my ex’s lawyer and not the court, that’s when Emy told me she can’t do my case because she didn’t have time. I was very upset because I went through the hassle of waiting for her, taking time off from work, paying her my consult fee, having my friend take her the paperwork. Then she tells me she can’t do my case because she did Not have the time. Emy is rude, not nice and not very professional. I would say don’t waste your time going to her.

EMY ABSOLUTELY CARES AND CARES ABOUT YOU. I’m so sorry you feel this way. It is never my intention to have anyone leave my office dissatisfied or feeling this way. Because I go to great lengths to provide the highest level of legal advice, service, and attention to every one of my clients, I take your comments very seriously. Let me address some of them here: 1) I run a busy practice which is why you had to wait to meet with me, you didn’t have to. I appreciate that you did though. 2) My appointment confirmation system specifically asks one not to arrive more than 5/10 mins early in order to preserve client confidentiality. You were a half hour early. I was meeting with a client, the office is very small, I asked you to wait in the lobby. This was for your privacy and privilege and theirs, and confidentiality was preserved. It wasn't rude or unprofessional. It's a boundary and applied to everyone, not just you. 3) You were advised of the cost of the consultation at the time you confirmed the appointment and agreed upon confirmation to pay. You could have chosen not to meet with me but you did. We discussed your case in-depth and I made several recommendations and the cost of that time was not refundable. 4) Your communications via email were difficult to understand and sent repeatedly over short periods of time. I am extremely responsive to my clients but no one expects immediate responses from an attorney - especially for non-emergent situations. I cannot respond immediately even if I wanted to because I'm in court or meeting with other clients. I typically respond within a few hours, rarely a day, but I always respond. My time frame fell outside of your expectations. 5) I reached out to the opposing counsel to let him know I was representing you. No court filing was necessary at that point and had it been I would have filed it. For all these reasons it became abundantly clear to me that I could not meet your expectations. Therefore, instead of delaying your matter or dropping the ball (as you said your previous attorney had done) or taking your money and disappointing you any further, I realized very quickly I was not the right attorney for you. IT WAS BECAUSE I CARED ABOUT YOU THAT I terminated the representation immediately and refunded the retainer in full. As a business owner and professional I'm very aware that I cannot please everyone no matter the quality, integrity, effectiveness, or professionalism of my work. I would be more than happy to discuss this further with you should you decide to reach out to me. Please contact me directly at 801-821-8561. Thank you for taking the time.

Exceptional attorney

Emy Cordano is a very passionate and very capable attorney. She knows her stuff and will work hard to protect your best interests. Thanks to her, I was able to reasonably resolve a divorce case that was heading toward an ugly custody fight. If I were to ever need legal counsel in the future, I would ...not hesitate to hire Emy again. She is exceptional and easy to work with, if you let her do her job.

Excellent Divorce Attorney

When I decided to get a divorce, I was living out of the country and Emy helped me from the beginning to get me ready for the day I would actually go through with it. That day has now come and Emy has helped me get a very good short term custody order so I can see my children often. During this who...le process she worked weekends and nights so we could get all the needed paperwork done. Emy is honest, very up front about everything, so that I know exactly what is going on with my case. I'd recommend her to anyone needing legal help with family issues.

Best high conflict attorney you can get

I have been dealing with a high conflict custody case for three years. Being a father in Utah and having an x that willing willing to say anything and do anything to destroy you as a person and destroy your relationship with your children is not an easy situation to deal with. Luckally I hired Emy Co...rdano, who was able to bring closure to the case and resolve the multitude of issues that we're unnecessarily created by an evil x. Thank you Ms. Cordano for your help, professionalism, and caring and handling of my case. I would not be able to be a father to my daughters without your abilities as a high conflict attorney, you are the best!!!

Emy Cordano - Paternity Case

In September 2016 I was served with a paternity order in which would take 50% of my time with my son away from me, make me pay child support when I had never received child support and degraded me as the mother I am to my son. I was able to get in to Emy as soon as possible and she took my case on. I... always knew what was going on with my case and even when I would get impatient she reminded me why I hired her and what would be reasonable to expect. Paternity cases are tricky and I never felt like Emy didn't have my side. In fact, she believed I deserved more than I thought myself. I would reccomment Emy to anyone looking for an honest, upfront attorney to take on your case.
