Our Practice Areas

We are dedicated to providing the highest quality services at a reasonable cost. Our team of hardworking, experienced lawyers and staff are committed to successfully meeting the needs and goals of our clients. Our legal services include:

Traffic Tickets

When issued a traffic ticket, paying it off can cause many unwanted consequences. Traffic tickets can result in significant fines, increased auto insurance premiums, and loss of driving privileges. They cause the driver's automobile insurance to go up for three years. In many cases, traffic tickets can also cause a person's driver's license to be revoked. Not to mention appearing in court can be both stressful and time-consuming. At Cowan & Cowan, we take traffic violations very seriously. If you have recently been issued a traffic ticket, contact us immediately before paying any fines. In many cases, our traffic attorneys can lessen the charge as well as reduce the increase in auto insurance premiums or prevent automobile insurance premiums from going up at all. We can also save our clients' driver's licenses in most situations. Cowan & Cowan may even be able to handle your case without you having to appear in court.

Criminal Law

At Cowan & Cowan, we realize being charged with a crime is a serious matter. A criminal case can result in the loss of freedom and being sentenced to time in the county jail or the State prison system. Our criminal lawyers are experienced in zealously and vigorously defending cases from misdemeanors to the most serious felonies. Examples of misdemeanors we have experience defending are simple assault, trespassing, communicating threats, disorderly conduct, domestic violence, and DUI/DWI. Serious felonies we have fought include breaking and entering, larceny, fraud, arson, burglary, kidnapping, rape, and murder.
