I will work with you every step of the way to make sure that you understand the choices you are making and feel empowered to make them. The first step of any representation is determining client goals and then determining the best path toward those goals.

Ms. Cowin answered my question regarding a default judgment in a very easy to understand manner with a little humor thrown in. She appeared to know exactly what to do and how to go about doing it. Next time I will learn to hire an attorney first and seek someone like Ms. Cowin.
Response from Cathleen Cowin October 24, 2022
Thank you so much for the kind words!
