also known as Jeffrey Cowan, Jeffrey W. Cowan
AV rated (since 2002) and Super Lawyer selected for over 17 years, Jeffrey W. Cowan is an employment and business trial lawyer based in Beverly Hills.
Jeffrey has tried (and won) multiple jury trials, bench trials and arbitrations; and recovered millions of dollars for his clients via individual lawsuits and class action lawsuits -- including a class action against Donald Trump's golf club in Rancho Palos Verdes. Most recently, Jeffrey won a 4 week jury trial in 2022 by defeating a $20 million claim for trade secret theft and unfair business practices. Jeffrey also has considerable appellate experience. His published appellate decisions are Kim V. J. F. Enterprises, 42 Cal. App. 4th 849 (1996), and Cowan v. Krayzman, 196 Cal. App. 4th 907 (2011).
Jeffrey Cowan's firm represents both businesses and individuals. Clients include businesses in Southern California and throughout the United States, as well as celebrities, entrepreneurs, professionals (including other lawyers) and just regular folks. Visit for examples of matters he has handled and the substantial results he has achieved -- including his Donald Trump class action lawsuit.
When appropriate, Jeffrey will represent clients on a contingency fee basis. Rates for hourly work are highly competitive for lawyers with comparable credentials, accomplishments, and experience.
Jeffrey also is a former professional magician who “performed” his way through Cornell University (where he graduated cum laude) and the UCLA School of Law. During law school, Jeffrey also headlined at the Magic Castle, and he has performed at venues ranging from the Playboy Mansion to trade shows in Las Vegas, and the Canadian and Dutch embassies in Washington DC.
Finally but not least, Jeffrey is a devoted father to his identical twin sons.

"Jeff is a fierce advocate for his clients! He has a great understanding of business and employment law."
"Jeffrey Cowan is an AV rated litigation and labor lawyer. He is highly skilled in his area of labor and litigation. On the labor side he represents both employees and employers. Jeffrey is knowledgeable and responsive to client needs. I have referred Jeffrey clients and worked with him to solve client problems. Uniformly, Jeffrey has done an outstanding job and the clients have been very satisfied. I highly recommend Jeffrey."
"Jeff is an excellent attorney and committed advocate for his clients. As someone who was on the opposite side of a matter from him, I give him the highest compliment, which is to say that I have and would refer cases to him without hesitation."
"I strongly endorse this lawyer's work. He is very knowledgeable and dedicated and has obtained excellent results for various clients."
"I have known Jeff both professionally (as a fellow lawyer) and socially (we are both Ivy League grads from Cornell) for over 15 years. We worked together on a legal matter not too long ago. I like that he is aggressive but practical in his litigation approach. He strives to resolve the dispute in the most cost-effective manner. Jeff can be intellectual too, but he doesn't get thrown off track. He always has a good understanding of the big picture. Also, Jeff is a really nice guy. I also trust him. Overall if you are looking for a smart, cost-effective, ethical attorney, look no further than Jeffrey Cowan."
"I've known this lawyer for more than 20 years. I endorse this lawyer's work. Incredible work-ethic, and the highest degree of professionalism and integrity."
