Hired Attorney

This review focuses on Phillip Cowan, Family Law Attorney, at HLB: I retained Mr. Cowan 4 years after my very dramatic and contentious custody case was going nowhere with a handful of other lawyers and 2 previous law firms. Phillip is fierce, he is thorough, he is methodical, and he is knowledgeable. He forecasted strategies, he worked after hours, and showed true compassion and concern for my daughter. In the end, Phillip got me a better result than I could ever imagine! Custody cases are hard and stressful but having a warrior like Phillip beside you makes it so much easier!!!
