Andrew Stuart Cowan

Andrew got to the heart of an international problem with such speed, and offered advice that was not only clear and correct, that my problem, when followed up in London, disappeared very quickly. There was no gain for Andrew in this process, and it was advice that other attorneys, on both sides of th...e pond, had failed to identify. When I first spoke to Andrew I was living a dystopian nightmare and had been for three months. Andrew's astuteness allowed me to wake from that nightmare and move on with my life.

I recently got into a situation where I needed an attorney to vigorously defend me against a very smart and tough corporate plaintiff with virtually unlimited resources. Mr. Cowan (Andy) was recommended to me by another high profile (and blue chip) attorney who knew the plaintiff extremely well. Ov...er the course of our lengthy litigation, Andy was tremendously creative and thorough and was able to steer the litigation to a very satisfactory conclusion. His fees are a bargain for what you get – a former federal prosecutor and expert litigator, whose knowledge is both broad and deep – especially in complex and unusual matters. Additionally, I never once felt like Andy was delegating my case to some junior associate. Andy was always “the guy” handing my case, personally. He was also efficient with his work; I never once felt that he was creating work just to bill me more. Andy was also extremely ethical, and able to work collaboratively with (very good) opposing counsel. But having Andy on my side evened the odds. If you find yourself needing skilled, vigorous defense in a civil or criminal matter – or both – I could not recommend Andy more highly. He may just save your life.

I had the pleasure of working with Andrew Cowan for nearly a year. He represented me with the utmost diligence and integrity, and was always responsive, realistic, and professional. Mr. Cowan was always attentive and always responsive. I appreciated his experience and expertise in my defense and t...he result of the case was better than was expected. I could not have asked for a better attorney to represent me and would recommend him without hesitation. Thank you Mr. Cowan!

Andrew Cowan, Esq. of Gallo LLP represented our New Jersey based company in an alleged breach of contract claim for $10MM in damages. Andrew’s expertise in California contract law permitted him to thoroughly identify the fundamental flaws in the plaintiff’s claim, allowed him to thoroughly explore al...l the underlying facts in order to deftly pro-actively anticipate and refute plaintiff’s probable counter arguments and to promptly convince plaintiff’s attorney to cause his client to withdraw the threatened complaint because the case was not viable. We found Andrew to be very responsive, in possession of a wide ranging expertise and acute legal skills, and highly capable of communicating effectively and promptly with all the principals of our company. We were also advantaged to have access to Andrew’s knowledge of the nuances of litigation in the Federal vs. the state judicial systems in the event the matter was to proceed to trial. Based on our many years of experience with numerous attorneys, we would highly recommend Andrew to others seeking representation on contractual disputes.

I can't recommend Andrew Cowan highly enough. I worked closely with Andrew over the course of a year, and he did a fantastic job resolving a complicated case about a car accident. He worked out a solution in a tough, shrewd and fair way with several insurance companies. Andrew looked out for my in...terests, offered helpful and informed advice and negotiated a very satisfactory resolution. I was in excellent hands with his counsel, and I'm grateful for the support and expertise he provided throughout this difficult situation. He is savvy, professional and responsive, and I wold recommend him to anyone in need of a real pro.
