“Sh*t canned by Cordell and Cordell”, quote from family law attorney peer. Arguably the most pompous, ineffectual and cringeworthy attorney I’ve ever encountered. In my opinion, she’s morally bankrupt and unskilled.

I've had the displeasure of hiring this firm to assist in the simple task of modifying child support. In the brief time that I've been their client, I have been, without warning, transferred to a new attorney 3 times for a total of 4 attorneys representing me. It's unclear why the attorneys have left Robinson and Henry, but I did receive an automated email response from one saying they "are no longer associated with the firm". When I inquired about his prompt dismissal (he was removed on a Friday afternoon), I was told it was "COVID 19" related. In an attempt to discuss a fair billing and invoicing moving forward without having an attorney representing me, Marlana Caruso filed a motion to withdraw without consulting with me and less than a month from my mediation.
