Our Philosophy and Mission
McDowall Cotter delivers exemplary legal services that are personalized, effective, and efficient.
While we embrace technology, a one- on- one client-customer relationship is quintessential to our success. We have 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. We have 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. At McDowall Cotter, we incorporate such conversations as routine and bring a human element to the practice of law.
McDowall Cotter’s distinctive culture draws the tremendous strength of its diverse and highly accomplished team of collaborative legal experts.
When you hire McDowall Cotter you hire a community, one that is committed to an excellent well-rounded experience for you. The experience begins with a warm-hearted greeting at the doors of our centrally located offices and ends with a positive outcome at an affordable price. We make your concerns our own and work diligently with you until they are resolved.
