About Robert
Biography
Rob began his legal career representing insurance companies but realized it was people, not insurance companies, he most wanted to help. After practicing and becoming a partner at Kinney, Kemp, Sponcler, Joiner & Tharpe until 2001, he established Cowan, Plumley, and Bucci, LLC, and maintained two offices in North Georgia until 2003. Rob then established The Cowan Law Firm in early 2003 in Dalton, GA, where he focuses on personal injury and wrongful death claims, business and contract disputes, and mediation and arbitration.
Personal attention and accessibility set Rob Cowan apart from other attorneys. When you enter The Cowan Law Firm, the first door you’ll see is the one for Rob’s own office, and on any given day, you’ll find it open. He doesn’t hide from his clients. Instead, he invites them in. A number of attorneys barely explain or communicate with their clients, leaving the client barely aware of the legal issues in the case and what they can expect moving forward. Rob makes sure that each client knows and understands the complexities of their case, their role as a litigant, and the need to be well prepared so the client’s expectations can be achieved.
Rob understands that you are not just a case or claim. He learns about each of his clients, their lives, and businesses. It’s in these other details that he finds important factors and pieces of the puzzle that may also be affected by the main problem being presented. Whether helping clients in a wrongful death case, personal injury or family law matter, or business dispute, Rob enjoys helping people find relief from the problem they’re facing.
Other attorneys look to Rob to help them with their clients and cases. So much so that they have come to him to help solve disputes through mediation. Rob regularly conducts over 150 mediations a year, most to a successful settlement.
Rob lives in Dalton with his family and practices primarily in north Georgia – from the Alabama line east to Union County. He values his community and was the recipient of the Justice Robert Benham Award for Community Service. An avid runner, having completed several marathons, he shares his love for running by volunteering at a local elementary school where the running club he started has grown from 20 to 80 students in just a few years. He has served as chairman of the Whitfield County Hospital Authority, The Northwest Georgia Regional Library Board, The Creative Arts Guild, and many more organizations.

Absolutely would recommend this firm to anyone seeking an attorney. I felt like I was more than just a number on a file. Cannot say enough good things about their customer service. I established friendships with the staff that will continue well beyond the resolution of my case.

Client Review
Rob is very straight forward and aggresive. But he takes the time to make sure you are informed and understand what is going on with your case.

When the going gets tough, Rob gets going!
With Rob Cowan, one knows where he/she stands. Rob is professional, straight-forward, and aggressive, as needed, to handle a case in a timely manner. He was able to get my charges dropped by the complaintants prior to court date. He also has good rapport with local officials, which is an asset...

Rob may be one of the most knowledgeable people that I know. I feel very confident in his ability to handle our type of cases. I wish that more of our cases would go to trial so that he can help get some of the more questionable ones get thrown out. I have recommended Rob's legal services to frien...
Robert Adam Cowan's Lawyer Endorsements
"Highly effective lawyer! Highly recommended! Also, a great mediator!"
"Rob is an excellent attorney and mediator."
"Robert Cowan is an excellent attorney and mediator. I have had several mediations with him over the years. He is always well prepared, gets along with all of the attorneys and individuals involved, and works very hard to find strengths and weaknesses, and essential evidence at issue in the case, in order to successfully resolve cases. I recommend him as an attorney and as a mediator."
"Rob is a great lawyer and a great person too. Rob is one of those people you just want to be around. He works tirelessly for his clients, and represents them well. It is with no hesitation that I endorse him and his work."
"I endorse Mr. Cowan. Having worked with him, against him, and through him (as a mediator), I can attest to his knowledge and professionalism."
"I endorse this lawyer. Rob is an excellent attorney and he cares deeply about his clients. He is honest and trustworthy as well."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"In addition to being good trial lawyer and effective advocate for his clients, Rob Cowan is a fine mediator and I highly recommend him."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer, Mr. Cowan can help parties resolve thier disputes in a professional manner."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have been opposing counsel with Rob on cases in the past. I found Rob to be a strong advocate for his clients but practical when considering options of resolution. Since I no longer work in the Daton area, Rob is who I refer business to in that area or ask to co-counsel with. I believe that Rob genuinely cares about his clients and his practice."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. - I have had cases against Rob Cowan, with Rob Cowan and have had cases where he was the Court appointed Mediator. He has a very easy going, calm demeanor that keeps the parties emotions down. He has a way of discouraging personal attacks between the parties which encourages settlement. This not only makes him an outstanding advocate for his client, but also the most sought after Mediator in the area. Our 4 man firm is very restrictive in our practice as we mainly specialize in Bankruptcy and Workers Compensation. We refer our domestic relations cases and many personal injury cases to Rob since we don't handle those. We know that he will take care of those clients and represent them well."
"I would recommend this lawyer to anyone. He is intelligent, ethical, professional and works well with opposing counsel. Rob is the kind lf lawyer with which I wish I worked on every case."
"I have observed, dealt with and litigated against Rob Cowan. He is a very capable lawyer and a worthy opponent. He is honest to a fault. I consider him a good friend and am pleased to believe that he considers me a good friend as well."
"I endorse this lawyer's work."
"Rob is an excellent lawyer. I have referred clients to him who report back that they have been very satisfied. I have also used him personally when I needed representation. I recommend him without reservation."
"As a trial lawyer, Rob is smart and very thorough. He has also successfully mediated some tough cases of ours."
"I endorse this lawyer's work."
