About McCordic Law & Mediation
Good Legal Advice. From People Who Understand That This Is Your Life.
Most people don't contact a lawyer because everything is going according to plan.
Sometimes a relationship is ending. Sometimes there is a disagreement about children, property or finances. Sometimes you're buying a home, planning for your family's future, or trying to resolve a problem you never expected to have.
Whatever brought you through our doors, we know something important:
To us, it may be a legal matter. To you, it's your life.
At McCordic Law & Mediation, we believe you deserve legal advice that recognizes both.
A Different Kind of Law Firm
McCordic Law & Mediation was created with a simple philosophy: provide excellent legal advice while never losing sight of the person receiving it.
That means being knowledgeable and prepared.
It also means communicating clearly, answering questions, being practical about costs and helping our clients understand not only what their legal options are, but what those options may actually mean for their lives.
We aren't interested in making legal matters more complicated than they need to be.
Where something can be resolved reasonably, we will look for a reasonable solution.
Where stronger advocacy is required, our lawyers are prepared to provide it.
And where there isn't a perfect answer — which happens more often in law than most people realize — we'll help you understand the choices, risks and realities so you can make an informed decision about what comes next.
Compassionate Doesn't Mean Passive
We believe there is room in the practice of law for compassion.
In fact, we think there should be more of it.
But compassion and strong legal representation are not opposites.
Our approach is to be compassionate with our clients and pragmatic about their legal problems.
We will listen.
We will explain.
We will tell you what we think.
And sometimes, that means having a difficult conversation or giving you advice that isn't necessarily what you hoped to hear.
Our responsibility isn't to tell you what sounds good. It's to help you make informed decisions based on the law, the facts and the practical realities of your situation.
You Should Understand What's Happening in Your Own Case
The law can be complicated. Our explanations don't need to be.
We believe clients should understand their options and be active participants in the decisions affecting their lives.
So if you don't understand something, ask us.
If you're worried about something, tell us.
If you aren't sure why we're recommending a particular approach, we want you to understand the reasoning behind it.
You don't need to speak "lawyer" to work with us.
That's our job.
A Team Approach
McCordic Law & Mediation is more than one lawyer.
Our lawyers and staff work together to provide clients with knowledgeable, responsive and practical support throughout their matter.
The firm is guided by founder Amanda McCordic, who was called to the New Brunswick Bar in 2009 and created McCordic Law with the belief that people going through difficult chapters deserve both strong legal guidance and genuine compassion.
Today, Amanda no longer maintains an active caseload. Instead, she provides strategic guidance and consultation to the firm and supports our lawyers in navigating complex matters and developing thoughtful approaches for our clients.
That collaborative approach allows our clients to benefit not simply from the lawyer assigned to their file, but from the experience and perspective of the broader McCordic team.
Our Approach
Clear Advice
We explain the law and your options in language you can actually understand.
Practical Solutions
Not every problem needs to become a battle. We look for solutions that make sense legally, financially and practically.
Honest Conversations
We won't promise outcomes we can't guarantee or tell you something simply because it's what you want to hear. You deserve an honest assessment of your situation.
Compassionate Service
Legal problems happen to people. We never want the process of getting legal help to make an already difficult situation harder.
Strong Advocacy
When negotiation and reasonable resolution aren't enough, our lawyers are prepared to advocate for our clients and protect their interests.
A Focus on What Comes Next
A legal matter is usually one chapter — not the whole story.
Our goal is to help you get through this chapter with the information, support and legal guidance you need to move forward.
