When it comes to family law, there is no substitute for experience. For nearly two decades, I have utilized an aggressive and compassionate approach to protect the rights of each client and to look out for their best interests. Unlike most Salt Lake City divorce attorneys, I am one of the few female lawyers to run my own law firm. The majority of divorce lawyers simply provide legal representation. I can do so much more. Not only do I focus on protecting the rights and interests of each client during a case, I also place a high priority on preparing clients for life after a divorce. Most importantly, you do not have to be wealthy to receive the best possible legal representation. You get the whole package at my law firm at reasonable, doable rates.
Like many of my clients, I have also experienced the emotional pain, stress and financial hardships that come with a divorce. I understand your perspective. I am fully prepared to provide comprehensive legal representation to help you achieve the best results. It is critical to have a Salt Lake City family law attorney on your side. There are no winners when it comes to divorce. But there certainly are losers. I have often heard Utah judges and commissioners say that they know they have ruled right in a case when both parties leave the courtroom unhappy. Choosing the right attorney can often make the difference between protecting your rights to parent-time with your children, your rights to your assets or losing much of what you have rightfully earned.
My passion for family law began with my divorce.
During that time, I experienced the impact a poorly-equipped divorce attorney can have on a person’s life. From that point, I became determined to help others avoid the pitfalls I had experienced. I have become deeply rooted in the Salt Lake City community and support a variety of causes both locally and internationally. I have also represented clients throughout Utah, including Provo, Orem, American Fork, Lehi, Layton, Roy, Clearfield, Ogden, Logan, Vernal, Roosevelt, Duchesne, Tooele, Draper, Sandy, and Park City.
What makes me different from other Salt Lake City family law attorneys is my passion and drive. It is an approach that I apply to all my cases. I am a self-made woman who believes in the value of hard work and helping others achieve success. When I am not practicing family law, I spend time outdoors, enjoying motor sports and living life at more than 100 miles per hour. Fear is not a part of my DNA. When selecting a Salt Lake City divorce lawyer, it is important to have representation from a lawyer that will use the best strategies, and maximum effort to put each client in the best possible position to succeed in mediation, in a settlement, or in the courtroom, and in their future.

dedication & professionalism
I would highly recommend Emy Cordano as a divorce attorney. She was an advocate for me and my son. She provided me with guidance and wisdom when I felt my world was crashing down. She wants what's best for each client and it shows in her hard work and dedication. Thanks Emy for everything!!

Run fast from her
The title reads enough. Divorce is the most important aspect you will go through and will impact you and your kids for years to come. Read my title and understand those are the kindest most dignified words I can use to express her level of services.
I have thought long and hard about how to respond to this review. I don't know who this might be or I would contact you directly. Nor did I imagine I had a client that felt this way. It is heartbreaking to hear this. I am so sorry and so sorry to hear this after the fact. I appreciate that this took time and effort to say and now its my turn to ensure reparation. This is my life's work and nothing is more important to me than my client's life and future. I do what I do for a reason and I can assure you that anyone leaving my office this disappointed is exactly what I don't want to happen. I am so sorry that I seem to have failed to meet your expectations. This has to be righted if at all possible and in a timely manner. Since this was posted anonymously and I cannot seem to reconcile this with any recent cases, please contact me at 801-821-8561. Please ask to speak with me directly or my office manager. Please reference this review. Alternatively, you have my email, please email me. I trust and hope to hear from you. Please.

Wonderful
Ms Cordano is incredible. Intelligent, devoted and zeros in on issues like a shark. I was unable to have her represent me because I was too far in my divorce and issues had already been certified for court but I wish terribly I would have known about her before filing my divorce. She is definitely th...

BEST ATTORNEY!
I can't say enough good things about Emy Cordano! I truly don't know what my brother would have done without her. She has so much experience and my brother always knew she would be honest with him and be a straight shooter. My brother did not have to pay a dime of alimony after a 25 year marriage be...

Similar experience
I would never hire Emy Cordano again. I was charged over $1100 to have her tell me that she knew nothing about the field she advertized that she was an expert in, military divorces. Yes, she makes lots of promises, acts like she can help and then after getting the retainer, does nothing.
I am so sorry to hear this from an alleged former client. I've not been able to match any of my cases to the facts alleged in your message and I apologize for any inconvenience but I would appreciate the opportunity to make this right with you. Please contact me directly by calling 801-821-8561 OR please feel free to email me directly - as a former client you have my personal email. Thank you for letting me know about your dissatisfaction. I only wish you had allowed me the opportunity to make this right before posting this as I work too hard for my clients and care too much to have any client leave this dissatisfied. I trust you will contact me and allow me to fix this immediately. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
"I often get calls from people looking for a divorce/child custody attorney and I refer them to Emy. I've known Emy for 20 years. She's an excellent litigator and she treats her clients with great respect. She is passionate about families and the rights of parents. She also will "tell it like it is" to clients who may have unreasonable expectations. Emy works so hard and is dedicated to her practice."
"Emy is a go-getter. She is a fantastic advocate for her clients because she never backs down. At the same time, she is approachable and works well with opposing counsels."
