About Emily B.
Emily B. Vowell earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in 2004. She went on to receive her J.D. from Florida Coastal School of Law in 2007. Those academic years set a foundation that bridged business understanding and legal training. The combination of business and law informed the early choices she made about practice and courtroom work.
Her first role after law school was as an associate at Camerlengo & Brockwell in 2007. She moved into public service two years later as an assistant public defender in the Tifton Judicial Circuit Public Defender's Office. That position put her in court regularly and provided steady trial experience. In 2012 she returned to private practice as an associate at Wilmot & Powell, PC, where she handled a range of contested matters and sharpened her litigation approach.
In 2017 she joined Cordell & Cordell, P.C. as a senior litigation lawyer. The title reflects years spent in adversarial settings and a steady progression through trial and appellate work. Over time she has appeared in state courts across multiple jurisdictions and managed complex dockets. Her career path shows a clear through-line: early courtroom exposure, a stint defending indigent clients, and then a return to private litigation practice.
Vowell is licensed to practice in Florida, Tennessee and Georgia. Those admissions allow her to work on matters that cross state lines and to advise clients in several regional forums. Colleagues describe her as methodical in preparation and concise when arguing motions. Her public defender background contributed to a directness in trial presentation, and her years in private firms refined her case management and discovery practice.
She is based at Cordell & Cordell, P.C., where she focuses on litigation tasks that require courtroom readiness and procedural rigor. She continues to handle contested hearings, prepare trial materials, and manage case strategy across the jurisdictions in which she is licensed. Her current practice concentrates on civil litigation and related courtroom proceedings at Cordell & Cordell, P.C.
