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 the 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.

Mark Cord helped me with my divorce case and then once again with my child custody case. Going through my divorce was emotionally difficult; however, Mark helped me through every step of the process (both legally and emotionally). The outcome of my divorce was very fair and I have no complaints- only accolades for what Mark did for me. He was recommended to me by a friend that also had great luck with Mark for a difficult divorce case. A year after my divorce, I used Mark again for my child custody case. Mark once again helped me through every step of the process (both legally and emotionally). The outcome of that case was also very fair and I have no complaints. I can't imagine going through either the divorce or my child custody case without him. I hope I do not have to use Mark's services again, but if I ever need an attorney, Mark will be my first call. I really can't say enough good things about Mark. He helped to make me feel comfortable both in and out of the court room. He explained in detail what was going to happen every step of the way. He also helped me where possible with regard to saving money. I feel Mark charged accordingly and did not overcharge me. Also know that Mark's presence in the courtroom (if necessary) is of the utmost professionalism. I felt in both cases that the judges appreciated his professionalism and preparedness. He asked the right questions of the other party. He understands and is helpful in more than just the law. I have thanked Mark many times, but I'm not sure I can ever really express my real gratitude with how much he helped me. You will not be disappointed if you hire Mark.

Mr. Cord helped me through a very difficult post decree matter regarding my children. It was always important to me that I work with a legal advisor who was both competent and has good character. Mr. Cord fits that description. Mr. Cord went beyond my expectations, and for that I am entirely grateful. He always made time for my calls, followed through with my requests, and treated my case as if it was the only case he had. He is very hard-working, patient and ethical. I highly recommend him.

"Mark Cord was my divorce attorney. After forty three years of marriage, I didn't know how I could possibly handle everything that was transpiring. His calm, concentrated straight forward manner was a welcome and needed aid to me. I am grateful for his focus, accountability and reliability."
