Cordell & Cordell - Divorce Attorney Office

"Mr. Vaught was an excellent attorney. He made sure I understood every step that was being taken and kept me well informed on what was happening. He answers calls and responded to emails quickly. He made sure he knew what it was I wanted from the divorce and did everything possible to make sure my kids and I got the best results."

"I was represented by attorneys Mr. Fox and Mr. Vaught. They always replied back quickly. I could see that they cared about me and my five children. They listened to all concerns and informed me on what we could do as solutions. Ye saved us from more stress by finalizing terms before trial and I thank you all for bringing my case to a close"

"I spoke to several attorneys before hiring Cordell yes some were cheaper but when it comes down to protecting my assets and my parental rights i don’t want the cheap guy ? I want the team that can get results in my favor regardless of costs Emily Vowell did everything I asked her to do I couldn’t ask for any thing more. If you want the best hire Cordell and request Emily …..no wife , happy life ….!!!!"

"In early 2021 I found myself in need of legal counsel as the result of my now ex-wife deciding that she no longer wanted to be married to me. Needless to say, this situation was extremely stressful and not at all what I wanted for my children, my ex-spouse, or myself. Nevertheless, the die was cast in my ex's mind so I had to take steps to protect myself, my biological son, and, to a degree, my step-daughter and former spouse as the divorce process moved along. At this point I decided to do some investigating and I found that the law firm of Cordell l Cordell (C l C) specialized in representing only men in divorces. After speaking and corresponding with a few attorneys and staff members at sundry different law firms in Knoxville, TN I finally decided to contact C l C and see what advice and services they could provide me with as I slogged through my divorce proceedings. I had an initial consultation with attorney John Vaught in C l C's Knoxville office. A week or so later, I officially retained C l C to provide me with legal representation during my divorce. At that point, attorney Emily B. Vowell was assigned my case. Despite the fact that my case was not one with a great deal of financial assets to be fought over and, thankfully, had a relatively low chance of going to trial I found Emily to be a tireless advocate for me and my son. Emily and the staff at C l C kept me up-to-date on the status of my case and provided me with excellent advice as to how and when to provide documents for both my ex-wife's counsel and C l C. More than once Emily demonstrated that she was willing to fight for my best interest even when I was, at times, willing to concede more than I probably should have been willing to give up. Ultimately, Emily stood by me and helped me make it through responding to my ex-wife's divorce petition and child custody plan, discovery, and expertly guided me through the process of divorce mediation. Though I didn't get everything that I wanted out of my divorce (this is especially true since I really didn't want the divorce at all), Emily's steady mindset and willingness to eagerly advocate for me, even when I didn't feel like advocating for myself, helped me secure just about as solid of a financial and, more importantly, child custody arrangement as I could have hoped for going into the divorce proceedings. I would highly recommend that any man who is facing divorce, whether the individual wants or doesn't want the divorce, at least contact the folks at Cordell l Cordell and see what advice and support that the firm, and especially Emily B. Vowell (if one is dealing with divorce in East Tennessee [or Georgia or Florida - where Emily is also licensed to practice law]), might be able to provide him with to help the individual make the best, most informed, decision that he can regarding how to proceed with the divorce process. While I hope that I never need C l C's or Emily's legal services again I know that, if such a need ever does arise in my life, I can turn to Cordell l Cordell and Emily B. Vowell for quality representation and support."

"Mr. Vaught provided exceptional counsel. At no time was the direction of my case in question and he always had a prompt answer. I was always taken care of. His calm and professional demeanor on top of his ability to relate to people on a personal level makes him an ideal attorney for family law, or any law for that matter. I highly recommend John Vaught if you choose Cordell & Cordell to represent your legal matters."
