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.

Will fight for you
I hired Emy Cordano to help with my custody battle during my divorce. She is caring, but also knows also how to get straight to the point. She built a strong case and was clear throughout the process on what I should expect. It was great to have her knowledge and experience to help me through the pr...

Emy is AMAZING.
Emy was a life saver! I came to her after a horrible situation with another attorney. She was honest and direct and made sure at each stage I knew what was going on and what my options were. Emy was the first attorney I have had that actually fought for me. You will never go wrong by having her repre...

Consultation
There’s no way she is 4.5 stars! I spoke to her once a few months ago, I didn’t have the money at the time. I called her twice since last time we spoke and WOW!!! I received a text from her and made it seem I harassed her. I was very confused. I’ve spoke to few attorneys and they had mentioned th...
4/20/22: This review is posted under the name "Eric Nelson". I've not met with such a person. However, I will be letting his attorney know that someone connected with him is using his name and impersonating him as well as the relevant probation officer. Second, if this is who I think it is, in response to your review: I have an absolute right not to represent someone. Your review is in line with a certain criminal history. I've always treated you with respect and dignity - which is why you contacted me so many times. I simply asked that you not contact my office again. You appear to ignore the consequences of your actions whether to a child or an adult. You can continue to attack the innocent all you want, justice will prevail one day.
"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."
