Proven expert in disputes with other landowners

Our property was severely damaged. We did not know what to do, or who to turn to. We are private landowners, and don't have the benefit of corporate counsel. John Cowherd found relevant legal precedents and crafted a solution so we got the remedy we needed.

Truly a great attorney

Thank you, John, for all that you have done to help me and my family. We had to hire John when we were sued by a large corporation. We are small business owners that have a long term lease. John worked tirelessly to help us defend our rights to earn a living. He is an upstanding, intelligent and mora...l attorney that isn't afraid to stand up for the little guys. He has sacrificed his family time to help us during a critical moment, for which I'm eternally grateful. John was quick to respond to our concerns and took his time to listen to our opinions. He is smart and flexible with his strategies. He knows when to attack and when to pull his punches. He truly is an amazing attorney and we are grateful to have his counsel during a very stressful time. If you need an attorney, you need to hire him.

Good communication

John replied very quickly and referred me to another attorney that would be better suited to help me with my case. Very helpful.

Great Lawyer

I hired him and I am very pleased as he is a very good attorney so far he is a bit expensive but if he is doing a great job then that is ok.

Super lawyer!

Recently I was involved in a real estate transaction. I thought my transaction would be simply like a hand shake deal. And it turned out to be very complicated. I found John almost at the very last minute. And he was able to handle my case and protect my best interest. I highly recommend him to every...one here. He is very professional, knowledgeable, detail oriented, and willing to listen to you. He will ease your concerns and will be there to fight for your rights. Stop searching and go talk to him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
