5 Star Lawyer

Hired Mr.Cowart about a month leading up to a case in Evans County. I requested a consultation and received one quickly. Our initial call was thorough and reassuring. He negotiated for a much reduced charge that I was very satisfied with. He seems to have a great rapport with Evans County Court. He i...s knowledgeable,professional, and fairly priced. His receptionist Makensie was also very responsive. Payment and “paperwork” could be handled online which was convenient for me.

A REALLY TERRIFIC EXPERIENCE

We asked Joey to assist us with a minor criminal matter. He was outstanding. He knows the law, the process and was extraordinarily helpful in guiding us to a terrific outcome. And his office is terrific and responsive. A+

Joey Cowart review

I hired Joey Cowart to by my lawyer for a situation I had. Joey is extremely professional and also very easy to get along with. He went above my expectations with his work on my case. I was very pleased with his services and his eagerness to help with any questions I had.

Life changer

I was arrested for DUI in February 2017. i was headed for what looked to be a lofty fine and license suspension. I contacted Mr Joey and he quickly responded to set up our initial meeting. Even before our meeting he began diligently working towards helping with my case. He called me in for a follow u...p and he simplified every possible outcome. On my court date I was presented with the opportunity to plead no contest and be charged with driving too fast for conditions. I took that "deal" and received my punishment of 40 hrs community service, 1-16 hour defensive driving/DUI class and probation until everything asked of me was completed. All in all, Mr Joey went to bat for me and changed the outcome of my DUI because of his vast knowledge of the law and his unbelievable commitment to helping his clients. I'm beyond grateful for what he did for me.
