Adam Cowhey

Mr. Cowhey represented me in my uncontested divorce. I first met with Mr. Cowhey about a year ago and he engaged in a free consultation with me during which I thought the divorce would be contested and in which he quoted a retainer fee. It about a year for me to actually decide to move forward with... the divorce, and by then my former spouse had agreed to an uncontested divorce. At that time I met with Mr. Cowhey again to retain him. When I explained that it would be uncontested, Mr. Cowhey very ethically reduced the retainer fee. Knowing that I would not know the difference, Mr. Cowhey could easily have charged the original amount quoted. His professionalism and genuine concern for me and my family were exemplified in his act of reducing the retainer fee. Mr. Cowhey worked with my former spouse and I to draft an agreement, which took several revisions. Mr. Cowhey escorted me the my ex parte hearing and supported me the whole time. I feel he provided me excellent legal advice and compassionate service. I was so pleased with his professionalism that I have recommended him to another party in need of similar services. I would recommend Mr. Cowhey again to anyone who needs family law assistance.

I would give Adam Zero Stars if I could

This attorney turned out to be totally uncaring, and not apathetic. He did absolutely nothing for me as a client. Adam Cowhey took thousands of dollars from me for what was basically an uncontested divorce (no children). Hire this attorney if you want someone who will stir things up with the o...pposing attorney. Adam collaborated on a regular basis with my ex's attorney. Together they tried their best to drag the divorce into court. The situation went on and on for months until my ex and I finally conversed and figured out what the attorneys were doing. We were so angry at each other - we both believed that the other was filing motions against each other when in fact it was the attorneys playing their little attorney games. When we finally talked and I figured out what was happening, I finally confronted Adam and told him that he had better not file one more document without my approval. Hire Adam Cowhey if you want to pay for filing unnecessary motions. Hire Adam Cowhey if you want your divorce to drag on and on and be more painful than it already has to be. Hire this attorney if you want someone who won't listen to your case or try to help you. Hire Adam Cowhey if you want to pay additional thousands to mediators to do what Adam could have done himself. In the end, after spending thousands of dollars and months of needless stress and anxiety, my ex and I finalized our divorce with basically the exact agreement that we had decided on between ourselves in the beginning. It is terrifying for me to imagine what a disaster this divorce would have been were children involved. Do not hire this attorney, especially if you have children

"I endorse this lawyer. He has been a friend of mine since he was a kid, we worked together in Winter Haven, Florida, for years when he first graduated from law school. He is very smart, practical, and has excellent research, writing and court room skills. I have tried cases with him and watched how he takes pride in his work and deals fairly with his clients and opposing parties and counsel. Great guy and attorney, highly recommend."
