Twenty-two years ago while practicing general law, Joseph E. Cordell realized 85% to 90% of his clients were coming to the Cordell & Cordell firm for domestic relations help.. "During the course of that experience I couldn’t help but notice the challenges consistently facing the guys side of the table when it comes to custody, maintenance issues, and accusations of domestic violence," Mr. Cordell said. "I found in waging those fights that I enjoyed it more. So we proclaimed ourselves as a firm that devoted itself to representing men in domestic relations matters.". Fighting for father’s rights is what motivated Mr. Cordell to become a divorce lawyer for men.. "I was galvanized by guys who were my clients and trying to get primary custody of their children. Even though they were the better parent, they still couldn't get across the finish line in the courts," Mr. Cordell said. "The more frustrated I became, the more incentivized I was to help them.". Since co-founding the firm with his wife, Yvonne, Mr. Cordell and his team of more than 130 divorce lawyers have helped thousands of men going through divorce.. He is frequently featured in national media outlets, such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Time Magazine, and CNN.

I'm an experienced US trademark and copyright attorney living in St. Louis, Missouri.  Since graduating from law school in 2005, I have helped hundreds of individuals, businesses, organizations, associations, and educational institutons avoid the devastating and disastrous effects of being sued for intellectual property infrngement by making sure they take all the legal steps necessary to protect themselves.  I take this responsibility very seriously because I have seen first-hand what can happen when someone fails to seek the advice and guidance of a trusted intellectual property attorney..

I wanted to be a lawyer and help people since I was 12 years old.   I worked and "student loaned" my way through college and law school.  I was the first person from the Nolan family to obtain a college degree and then a law degree.  Among my many jobs growing up and throughout my schooling I was a paperboy, a bell hop, a busboy, construction laborer, pizza chef. I was privileged to work as a Summer Intern with the Illinois Attorney General's Office between my Second and Third years of Law School and obtained valuable experience there.  I was a research assistant to one of our professors during law school.. After graduation from law school I worked at a small firm in Alton, Illinois (my home town) and practiced in general civil litigation, including both plaintiff and defendant personal injury cases.  I also handled criminal and domestic relations.. After taking the Missouri Bar exam, I moved to St. Louis County and worked for several law firms handling a variety of cases and courtroom work, including:  Probate, Criminal Defense, DWI Defense, Divorce and Family Law, Auto Accident Injuries and Worker's compensation.. In late 1991, I decided to establish my own law firm and I have been on my own in Solo practice since that time.  Although I now focus primarily on Probate Law, Estates and Estate Planning, I have considerable experience over the years in many areas of law.  I enjoy serving my clients and I believe it is a privilege to practice law.. I currently live in Creve Couer and I am a member of the Creve Coeur Police and Public Safety Committee.  Among my hobbies are running half marathons, cycling, DIY home projects and playing the guitar.
