Posted by Lori | February 08, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

A lawyer with integrity and compassion

Mr. Cord helped me through a very stressful and difficult time. His professionalism, knowledge and integrity were greatly appreciated and evident throughout my divorce and prolonged child custody matter. He was assertive and focused, yet was there to provide support and explanations every step of th...e way. He is a lawyer that will assist you in maintaining your dignity and perspective during an emotional process. I highly recommend Mr. Cord to see you through all phases of your legal matter.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
