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...at some of her ex-clients came to them and fired her because the type of person she is. There are other attorneys that are better, understanding, affordable and doesn’t treat you like this and doesn’t tell you what you want to hear. Emy, this is not how you treat people. Look at other reviews! End of the day is your decision. Just trying to help. Have a good day everyone and best of luck!

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.

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.

Horrible

No words can explain. She is rude and inconsiderate. She will belittle you. She will respond to this by saying that she doesn’t recall this incident and she’s truly sorry blah blah blah. If you catch her in a good mood...awesome, but if not you might as well hang up as soon as you feel her wrath comi...ng.

Thank you for taking the time to leave me a review. Your feedback is important to me as I want to ensure I keep improving and doing a great job. I'm so sorry I didn't for you. Retaining a client is the heart of my business and clearly I missed the mark here. Please know I’d like to make this right for you. Please reach out to my office at 801-821-8561 and please reference your review on Avvo. Please ask to speak to my office manager or to speak to me directly or ask for my email. You will be taken care of. I hope you will allow me the opportunity to remedy this failure. Kind regards, Emy.

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.

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.
