"Prepared" is the one word I would use to best describe Chuck as a lawyer. He carefully analyzes his case and knows the details. I have worked on several cases with Chuck and was impressed by his preparation in all aspects of a case from beginning to end. Whether preparing a client for deposition, investigating the facts, or researching medical aspects of a case, Chuck is thorough. I endorse Chuck Cowan.

I wholeheartedly endorse Chuck Cowan who is one of the most personable folks I know and who capably stands up for folks who need legal help in taking on the insurance industry. I've known Chuck for more years than either of us would probably admit and he's the real deal.

I have known Chuck Cowan for 30 years. We studied law together, debated legal issues, and discussed trial strategy. Chuck has the highest integrity and possibly the best legal mind that I have known. I would not hesitate to use Chuck as my personal attorney. It is my privilege and honor to give Chuck Cowan my highest endorsement. Anyone reading this is invited to contact me to verify my absolute appreciation of Chuck Cowan's courtroom trial skills and superb knowledge in personal injury, Workers Compensation, and criminal matters.

I have known Chuck for twenty-five years. We have worked together on matters and I am very familiar with his work product and ethic. I would recommend him not only in the area of personal injury, his specialty, but in a wide range of legal matters.

I endorse this lawyer. I have known "Chuck" Cowan for over 25 years and have sent numerous people to him that needed legal help in the Tyler area. Chuck always gets great results for his clients. Many of his clients stay in touch with him long after their cases are over. I believe this happens because the client can tell that he genuinely likes and cares for them. Chuck will be ugly and mean if necessary, to advance his clients interest. Or if the situation requires a softer touch he can be a southern gentlemen. He is a skilled advocate for his clients. You will not go wrong hiring Chuck.

Chuck is a fine lawyer with a real heart for his clients and their cause. He has the kind of smarts that come with years of fighting. A good friend and an excellent lawyer.
