Would highly recommend this attorney!

I contacted Emy about a jurisdiction issue & to possibly modify an existing child custody order. She was kind, direct, informative & professional. Will definitely be working with her again should something else come up with my case.

Emy Cordano - High Custody Custody Resolution - The best you can hire!!!

Emy Cordano is simply the best attorney for high conflict custody and resolution that you can hire in the State of Utah, I'm extremely grateful to have her working on my case. After 3 years of court Ms. Cordano is breaking barriers, day by day, one by one that my ex-wife created in order to destroy m...y relationship with my daughters. Ms. Cordano has given me hope that one all of the high conflict can be fixed and that I will one day again be in my wonderful daughters lives enjoying a positive, healthy and wonderful relationship. If I had not hired Ms. Cordano I would not be in their lives at all, my situation does not get any worse so I have been told. But through the hard work and dedication of Ms. Cordano and with her knowledge of the Father's Rights and the Utah Court system, I know I'm in the best of care, that the problems will be fixed and that she will fight for me to make the situation right. Do yourself a favor, hire the best from the very beginning - and hiring the best is hiring Emy Cordano!

Excellent Attorney

Emy helped me through an extremely difficult divorce and custody situation. She was always there to answer all of my questions and help me understand everything clearly. I was able to gain full custody of my son and I couldn't have done it without her help. I would highly recommend her assistance.

Focused, and Attentive.

Immediately I noticed that Emy was very focused on my case and very attentive to the details. I chose Emy because she only works in family law. Initially I was very reluctant to hire any attorney at all. I'm not experienced in matters of the court, and didn't really know what to look for in legal hel...p. My concerns were swiftly left behind when I witnessed how hard Emy worked, how experienced she is, her focus, and her professionalism. Emy gave us the black and white truth in regards to the issues at hand. Emy provided us with complete knowledge as to where we were in the process, and insisted on my approval every step of the way in our strategy and legal document submission. Emy is a private attorney, and we actually appreciated this. She doesn't work for a big fancy law firm downtown, and doesn't have a balcony office on the 18th floor, but due to the fact that she is private she also has much more freedom to be herself than associated attorney. If I could sum up Emy in one word it would be this: "Warrior." If I were an attorney I would not want to see her name on the oppositions paperwork.

A Fantastic Person more than just a Fantastic Attorney

Maybe Emy is the best because she has a perspective from several countries. I was fascinated to know Emy is from south africa, where she saw injustice in families daily. I am just a local woman, never been anywhere other than mexico on vacation or to North Carolina to see my ex-husbands family on a t...rip so as you can imagine, I haven't seen much hardship here in Utah. I think because of that I didn't know who to turn to, my bishop advised I stay married, so I did for a number of years, unhappily. My ex-husband was mentally abusive, you don't know just how bad it is until you can't leave the house without anxiety and you always doubt yourself and feel terribly about who you are, you hate your reflection. I spoke with Emy and she set me on the path to rediscovering myself. I was able to file divorce and she helped me when my bishop tried to advise me against it. I am still an active member of the church, but I came close to the edge and without Emy holding my hand through the entire ordeal, I may have caved. Emy helped file, finalize and come out a better person from my divorce. I have a home, and can finally get back to finishing my degree and getting a job, something my ex-husband wouldn't let me do. Thank you Emy for saving my life, truly. This isn't me being sappy, it is me being thankful knowing someone was in my corner, for me! Best wishes to you and yours always, Debby J.
