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 moral 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.

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 everyone 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.

When you need the Law on your side, it helps to have awsome attorney.
I hired contractor to do some modification on my home for my disabled husband. The contractor ended up taking my money and damaging my home. When I met with John Cowherd his professionalism and knowledge stood out immediately. He effectively communicated so that I had a clear understanding of what was happening and what could be done. His quick response and competence were exactly what we needed for our case. He immediately jumped into action on my family's case and continued with the same fast momentum until the end. He is one of the best lawyers in his field and has a fair price. After meeting with him I wouldn't want to sign any contract without John reviewing it first.
