Cordell & Cordell | Family Law & Divorce

Mr. Rayborn represented my brother in a very complicated stepparent custody case. I also happen to be a seasoned paralegal who has worked in the legal field for years, so I tend to view cases through both a personal and professional lens. I can honestly say I was incredibly impressed with his work. This was not an easy case. There were significant obstacles from the start, and as someone who understands how family court works, I knew just how uphill this battle would be. At every hearing, there were unexpected arguments and challenges thrown his way, yet he remained calm, strategic, and completely composed. From a professional standpoint, his preparation, courtroom presence, and ability to think quickly under pressure truly stood out. He adapted seamlessly to each curveball and stayed fo

When I was unexpectedly dropped by a large local firm, I felt discouraged and unsure where to turn. Jerrod Rayborn took my case without hesitation and immediately restored my confidence. In just two months, he accomplished more than my previous lawyer had in half a year. Jerrod was calm, confident, and strategic. He stayed grounded in the facts and presented settlement at exactly the right moment. His approach was thoughtful, precise, and effective. I am deeply thankful for his guidance and would recommend him without reservation.

You can’t go wrong with Tim Hayden from Cordell & Cordell. He’s extremely knowledgeable, supportive, and motivated. From day one, he was transparent and honest about his time and fees, which gave me a lot of confidence throughout the process. He communicates clearly, prepares thoroughly, and genuinely cares about achieving the best outcome for his clients. I’m very grateful to have had him in my corner and would highly recommend him to anyone needing a strong family law attorney.

I came to Mr. Rayborn feeling desperate and honestly with very little hope. I am the stepfather of a 6 year old little girl who needed me, but I had no biological ties to her. I knew the odds were against me when it came to gaining custody. From the very beginning, Mr. Rayborn was honest about how challenging my case would be. He did not make unrealistic promises. He was upfront about how difficult it would be to overcome the lack of a biological connection, but he also told me he would give it everything he had. And he absolutely delivered. At every court date, we were hit with unexpected curveballs, including outright false statements from the other side. Through it all, Mr. Rayborn remained calm, collected, and completely in control. He adapted quickly to every twist and turn, thinkin

Waste of Time, Money, and Energy My experience with Jerrod Rayborn from Cordell and Cordell was nothing short of disappointing. We went to court three different times, and honestly, I wish I had never hired them. The first time in court, Jerrod seemed confident — but the opposing attorney didn’t even show up, so there wasn’t much to judge. By the second time, things started to feel off. Communication was terrible, and it felt like I had to chase updates or push for basic answers. Jerrod only seemed interested in my financial info and even told me we should just settle for child support instead of fighting for what was right. I had to be the one to say, “No, we’re going forward with the hearing.” The only reason things went my way that day was because I spoke up for myself, not because o
