When only the best will do....

Two words that differentiate Emy Cordano from the average prosecutor: fierce & determined. This description held true when I met Emy in person - she resonates a presence that instills confidence, period. During an exhaustive search for legal representation - specifically involving a high conflic...t case - I knew exactly what key qualities to look for: an innovative strategist with a solid winning track record, a forward thinker skilled at “out of the box” solutions, and most important: a “partner” who listens, understands, and is driven to protect the rights of her client: expeditiously with minimum financial impact. The words I wanted to hear were: “Yes, I can represent you and win”. And this was my perception from consulting with Emy only twice. Imagine the potential if you choose someone like Emy to represent you in the most important battle of your life: the best interest of your children and yourself. My two word description of Emy? A legal ninja.

BEST LAWYER EVER

BEST LAWYER EVER I had dragged my feet for years on filing for a divorce, even though my husband and I had been separated for almost 5 years. The biggest reason I dreaded filing was the thought of having to find and work with a decent attorney. In my past experience, lawyers were cold and fa...irly careless, more concerned with payment than your actual case and feelings. I happened along Emy Cordano while searching the internet, and after reading multiple fantastic reviews, decided to take a gamble. I am and will be thankful every day for the rest of my life that I took that gamble!! Emy from the day I met her made me feel secure in her brilliance, capability, knowledge and skill to handle my divorce. But beyond her obvious intelligence and clear minded determination, she was more thorough than I ever dreamed an attorney could be. She left no question unasked, and she showed genuine concern for me and my situation. I left the initial consultation feeling excited and determined, as well as completely at ease and confident that she would handle everything as meticulously and efficiently as she had promised. From that day forward, there was never a disappointment, not even in the slightest, while working with her to draft and submit my divorce papers. She is not only a remarkably astute attorney, she is a genuine and down to earth woman, and was delightfully surprisingly enjoyable to work with. I never felt a single question went unanswered, no matter how silly or insignificant I may have felt asking it. She was always prompt and courteous, and I never doubted that I was a priority. The simple joy I found in knowing that I would never have to wait long for a response to any email or phone call was a wonderful feeling and experience. I also have to give credit to her amazing paralegal. If Emy happened to be unavailable (I know, lawyers have lives too!) her paralegal was adept and well informed, and I felt just as secure in working with and talking to her as I did with Emy. There was just never a moment that I had an iota of doubt in her capability in handling things in Emy's absence. If there were a rating scale of 1 to 10 I would give Emy a 12 overall. Narrowed down to every single aspect, there simply isn't a rating below a 10 to be given. I would highly recommend her to anyone, from strangers on the internet to my own best friends and family. She is a true gem, and while I hope I never have to file another divorce, she'd be the first person I would call!

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!!!

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!!

I was in a ROCK and a HARD PLACE. Literally with my Ex and my daughters. I know that in a conservative state that it is very tough for a father to win especially against a stay at home mother but my kids are my life. From the first time I met Emy, I thought she was almost a little ADHD, but as I watc...hed and listened to her I could tell that it was Passion, NOT ADHD!!! This Woman, Emy, completely understood what I was going through and I could see and FEEL this from her. It was like she BECAME emotionally invested into this case as well but stayed somehow level headed and very SMART through out the entire process. Not only did she Get me my Girls but my Ex has to pay ME CHILD support and she didn't work but was told she was capable of doing so now that nothing was there to impede her from getting one. I REALLY don't care about the child support as I have always taken care of everything financially in my home, but I even took care of my girls, on top of working full time. Emy was able to show and prove with investigator that I was the one that took the kids to and from school leaving work for a few, took and made all the DR appts etc. Alot of stuff that I wouldnt change for anything especially now that Emy was able to show it wasnt my ex and it was me. I cant think her enough for finding and arguing other cases and other things that won my hard fought case. Yeah she wasn't the CHEAPEST attorney in town BUT I don't think that the cheapest attorney in town would have won me my girls and I cant put a price on that, BUT she wasn't higher than the other 2 attorneys I talked to either one was at 250 a hour and the other was at 200 an hour. Emy Cordano was worth the 200 bucks an hour I paid her and probably actually owed her more because she didn't charge me for every call and question I had. I actually had her CELL PHONE and she comforted me when ever I started freaking out or panicking! Fighting for custody was the worst gut wrenching thing in the world and any of you that have gone through this before KNOW exactly what I am talking about. I wouldn't send anyone else anywhere but to her if someone I knew asked me. Emy Cordano is the reason I have my girls and she is the best. I can't thank her enough
