PLEASE TAKE NOTE: Counties change their local visitation schedules. The county you live in may have changed their rule(s) yesterday. In addition, if you already have a visitation schedule pursuant to local rule, and that schedule was attached to your parenting time orders, it is POSSIBLE that the court did not mean for YOUR visitation schedule to change if the local visitation schedule in your county changes.

I worked with Virginia for over a year on a very delicate family matter. I absolutely could not have gotten through it without her. She cared so much about me and my family, and was very knowledgeable about the process, my options, and past experiences. Virginia helped me come to the best possible solution. I highly recommend talking to her if you even think you might need family legal counsel.

For a first encounter during the free consultation, Virginia was able to answer so many questions on how to deal with particulars in my case. It was complicated and there were multiple hoops that needed to be navigated that most people probably wouldn’t have to think about. She’s an absolute wealth of knowledge. Her staff is always pleasant.
As a personal testimony, I can honestly say that Virginia was placed on this earth to fight for integrity and for families. You get what you pay for, she delivers very favorable outcomes for her clients. Her attention to detail, analytical thinking, metacognition

Attorney Cornwell provided good information and insight. I came to her looking for advice after having poor representation. She gave me the positives and negatives of my situation, not just what I wanted to hear, which allowed me to make a fully informed decision. I highly recommend her to represent anyone for a divorce case.

Virginia handled my divorce/ child custody case during the pandemic which was added stressor for my situation. I came to find out how slow the process can be. Every time Virginia needed to give me legal advice or perform an action to protect and or strengthen my case she was there and usually met or exceeded my expectations. I was impressed by how she took key points from my case for the short non-oral hearings with the magistrate. She does not pomp you up for things you want to happen but are unlikely. She is pretty straight forward with her assessment of the case and potential outcomes. Even

I had a very complicated case, Virginia was with me every step of the way and she would take the time to help me understand all the legal terms and my options. I was incredibly involved in my case and knew everything that was happening. Her receptionist was also a pleasure to work with! :) If you are looking for an attorney I highly recommend Virginia Cornwell. Thank you again Virginia for everything you have done for my son and I!

Virginia represented me in the dissolution of my marriage. I was and am very, very happy with the work she did on my behalf and on the behalf of my two sons. She proved to be a very hard, conscientious worker who always worked to the highest ethical standards. Virginia knew every aspect of what needed to be done to represent me in a comprehensive and professional manner. I know the outcome of the dissolution would have been very different in a negative way if Virginia was not involved on my side. She's a terrific advocate and I recommend her without reservation.

During our initial free consultation, Virginia was able to answer so many questions on how to deal with our specific needs and concerns regarding seeking custodial rights of my daughter. She was very attentive, took a variety of notes and then provided us with her plan of how to achieve our outcome. I am pleased with her wealth of knowledge and her experience. I look forward to working with Virginia and I highly recommend her.

I am in the process of a divorce and really needed some guidance. I have called several attorney's and felt like they really only cared about "the job", which I know is important, but Virginia was totally different. She takes her job seriously, but she also cared about me as a person. She walked me though important details and gave me great options that would save me money. She was the first lawyer that also felt like a great person as much as a great lawyer.

After researching several law offices to help me with my family law issue, I came across Virginia's law office and I am so glad I did. Her receptionist was very kind and Virginia returned my phone call the same day and provided me a free consultation. She took her time and gave great advice which did not include pushing me to retain her for services. She was very knowledgeable and got right to the point. I will definitely use Virginia for my legal representation.
