Amazing

John is a great attorney, with an excellent work ethic. He did a great job with my divorce and I have and will continue to refer friends and family to him.

Excellent Attorney

John Cowan was very open minded about my case and took interest in helping me. Not only did he keep in touch in a timely manner but he was able to help me win my case! Very grateful and I'll definitely be referring him in the future.

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.
