I met Sam in 1993 on a hazy, humid, Pittsburgh afternoon. I was giving up.
In the past few months I had visited almost 20 employment lawyers in Pittsburgh, trying to find someone, anyone, to take my case. The few attorneys who'd shown ANY interest wanted 2 or 3 grand up front. Money I didn't have. After all, the reason I was seeking help is because I felt I had been unfairly let go from my job. I was passionate about what I believed was real injustice. Nonetheless, I had promised myself that Sam's office would be my last stop. I was worn out from trying...and sick of repeating a story that broke my heart.
Anyway, on this fateful day, an attorney a few blocks away had turned me down but suggested I try Sam at his office on Ft Pitt Boulevard; and said Sam was a great lawyer who would sometimes step in, and take a tough cases other lawyers would not touch. Imagine my surprise, when after only about a 20 minute conversation at his office, Sam said, "I like your case. I'll take your case, and at no charge."
Fast forward a couple of years, to a federal courtroom in Pittsburgh, and it was on! I watched Sam Cordes state my case, with a brilliance dramatic flare I'd thought before happens in the movies. Richard Gere. Matthew McConaughey. You know the names. I'll tell you what. It became clear to me that Directors and Screen Writers watch the few courtroom masters like Sam when they want to recreate the best of what a quality trial attorney does. And in my case, it was Sam's "best"...that touched the minds and hearts of that Jury, who not only decided on my behalf, but called for a monetary award of a size that made national news. I won't say much more here, but I am sure that Sam will know exactly the case I'm talking about, and be happy to share more if you're fortunate enough to visit him for legal consultation. And feel free to have him put you in touch with me, should you still have any doubts.
Sam is honest, tough, caring, and takes cases he believes in from the heart. That's why he wins so much, even against huge powerful firms the other guys are afraid to face, or go the distance with. It's also why Sam and I became dear friends, as we are to this day. I just shake my head at the few pity-partiers among various review sites, who have less kind things to say. But I know better. For 3 solid years...I was there.

I contacted Attorney Cordes to represent me in a "Failure to Hire" discrimination case against a major retailer. I was told by other I definitely had a case and was entitled to a settlement. After contacting Attorney Cordes, and explaining my case, he informed that he felt my case was worth substantially more than what I was originally told. Attorney Cordes was right! Working with Attorney Cordes and his law firm was nothing but a pleasure. He was friendly, professional, and most importantly experienced. Attorney Cordes was always available to answer any questions I had. In fact, I emailed Attorney Cordes a question about my case on a Sunday evening, and he responded within minutes with an answer. If I did not understand something, he took the time to explain it to me. I would highly recommend Attorney Sam Cordes!!!!!!

I contacted this attorney, after he was recommended by a large firm in Pittsburgh. One of his associates was to return my call. After a week, I called and spoke with the attorney who was rude and wouldn't let me talk. He spoke loud enough for my family to hear straight through the phone. (So I contacted and began working with another attorney who was very patient, nice and wasn't arrogant.) After a week and a half, he called back and said he couldn't take my case. I attempted to ask him a question, and he said he couldn't help me because he wasn't taking my case. Again he had a terrible attitude and was very rude. I will never recommend this group. I felt that he had a condescending attitude and made me feel like I was inconveniencing him.
