A common-sense approach to the practice of law.

MISSION/ PHILOSOPHY

McDowall Cotter's chief objective is to deliver exemplary legal services that are personalized, effective, and efficient. Legal matters can be confusing and intimidating; we make it our business to provide clients with the assistance they need to understand the law and with the services they desire to make it work for them.

We pride ourselves on our knowledge, experience, commitment and compassion. We strive, for every client and under every circumstance, to conduct ourselves in ways that combine the care and creativity that make us excellent estate planners with the determination, teamwork and attention to detail that explain our enduring success as business counselors and litigators.

While we embrace technology, we do not do so blindly. We've witnessed over the years the myriad ways in which technology increases efficiency, reduces costs, and facilitates communication. We avail ourselves of technology in just those ways. But we've also learned that technology is no substitute for personal relationships, and that often the best legal advice is the result of simple conversations between client and attorney in light of a thorough grasp of pertinent law. At McDowall Cotter, we make such conversations part of our standard operating procedure.

When you hire McDowall Cotter you hire a community, one that is committed to an excellent all around experience for everyone involved. That experience begins with a warmhearted greeting at the doors of our centrally located offices and ends with a positive outcome at a reasonable rate. Between those two events, our aim is to make your concerns our own.
