A common-sense approach to the practice of law.

COMMUNITY SERVICE

Since its inception, McDowall Cotter has been active in the community. We provide pro bono and low-cost services to organizations and individuals in need. Our lawyers serve as directors on the boards of numerous local non-profits, and our entire staff devotes every fifth Thursday to community volunteer work.

As an organization, we believe in a strategic balance between work, family, and community. Our service activities are a critical part of that mix.

McDowall Cotter supports the following community organizations by donating time and resources:
- Youth & Family Enrichment Services
- Legal Aid Society
- Judge Pro Tem for the San Mateo County Superior Court
