Testimonials
“My situation was extremely complex. Bill worked diligently to formulate a strategy based on my needs, he took the time to listen carefully to my unique circumstances and moved forward only once he had a firm grasp of my situation. He executed our agreed upon strategy with confidence and secured a positive result. He and the rest of the firm continue to be supportive in follow up. I believe Bill, and his team, go above and beyond for their cleints, and I recommend him across the board.”

“I was new to Seattle and the Cowan Law Firm came highly recommended. They certainly lived up to the billing and I was very impressed how much they got handled outside of the courtroom through their experience and knowledge. Bill Kirk turned a painful situation into a victory…it truly is all who you know, thanks Bill!”

“Mr. Cowan,
I want to express the appreciation of my wife and me for your defense of our son in District Court yesterday and throughout the entire process. You truly are the “Rock Star” in your field. The past five months have been a severe strain for the three of us, tempered only by The Cowan Law Firm’s reputation as a defender of young adults. Our son has had a real lifestyle change in both behavior and in attitude as a result of what happened. As a result of your efforts, his career will go on uninterrupted and with a new emphasis on a behavior that doesn’t tempt wrongful forces. It has been a positive event in his life, even though painful. Had this situation gone wrong for him, it would have had long lasting, negative consequences that would have been difficult for him to overcome in his business. Your efforts on his behalf have been a blessing for him and we thank you for this. You have our deepest gratitude and thanks.”

“Mr. Gaston did a very good job with my case and got a plea deal for a reduced charge that was beneficial to me. His professionalism, personality, and knowledge made this process a little easier for me to handle. I was kept informed about my case and the potential outcome the whole way. I could not have asked for better representation in my case. I recommend Mr. Gaston to anyone who finds theirselves in a similar predicament.”

“Great attorney. Hire him if you can afford it, it is worth paying the extra costs to not have the restrictions from such a conviction.”

“Dear Doug,
Thank you for all of you help over the last year. I greatly appreciate the extra efforts that you made without extra compensation. Hopefully I will not have the occasion to recommend you to friends and family. But if I do, it will surely be my highest recommendation. Again, thank you for your help.”

“When I first contacted Mr. Gaston in 2007, I wanted help dealing with a DUI infraction that would have most-definitely impacted my future. Today, I still think of ways that I can repay the things that he has done to help us. He is full logic, knowledge and heart. You won’t find a better attorney on your side!”

“Dear Mr. Cowan,
I am writing to extend my most gracious thanks for your help with my legal troubles I’ve had in the last year. At a time when I felt lost and confused your clarity and knowledge gave me understanding about a situation I knew little or nothing about. From the moment I entered your office I knew that I was speaking to the right person and to someone that genuinely cared for my well being. The thoughts of what could have taken place consume me on a daily basis and I am eternally grateful of the second chance that I’ve been given in this matter. To you I owe this second chance.”

“Mr Gaston fought hard for me and my rights every step of the way. He far exceeded my expectations, plus through his expertise he got my entire case dismissed. I would and have recommended him to any one that needs a good defense.”

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your help with my case. I know you were doing your job, but you did a lot of small things along the way which made the whole episode a little more easier to handle.

“Dear Doug,
My husband and I most sincerely thank you for helping our son. We appreciated your being willingness to be available to him on Christmas Eve and are so sorry to have had to bother you and your wife late that night. Even though I am a lawyer, wee, and our son, were unfamiliar with the situation he found himself in that night and want you to know how reassuring it was to us to know you were looking out for him when we, his parents, felt so helpless. You made a bad situation as painless as possible, but didn’t take away the lesson that needed to be taught. Our son was fortunate to have you to guide him through the process and to help him evaluate his alternatives. We are very grateful to you and thankful for all your efforts.”

I was thinking of you today. I often think of that day sitting in your office and you telling me I needed to go through the process to learn and get out of trouble!

“I had never felt so down and out and at a loss of what to do next in my entire life. I had never use a Laywer for any reason and didn’t know any. A very close friend, had told me about the Cowan Lawfirm. I called and made and appointment, went in and meet with Doug and then Bill Kirk. When I left, I had hope! Bill walked me through the process and what I was looking at moving forward. Step by step, Bill and his assistent were able to answer all my questions and prepare me for all my court hearings that were ahead of me.I thought that I might have to spend time in Jail, possibly a long time, along with being tagged with a felony, but with their direction and support,
I came out without any Jail time or a felony and I’m a better person today, thanks to Bill and his team.”

“Bill was recommended to me by a trusted local attorney. (I live 300 miles from the Seattle area) I couldn’t have made a better choice. In the Administrative Hearing Bill raised enough questions about the arrest, that the Administrator gave me the benefit of the doubt. In watching Bill’s dealings on my behalf in the Municipal Court, it was obvious that his knowledge of the Court, the prosecutors, staff, and judges helped him negotiate the best possible outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend Bill to anyone facing a similar situation.”
