“I cannot begin to express my appreciation of this firm.”

P L. Google Review

I cannot begin to express my appreciation of this firm. They listened to me, worked for me, and led me through a very emotional personal injury claim. Through their honest advise, they kept me on target. They discussed my options in very clear, understanding terms. They did not try to sway me in any direction. I felt I had the knowledge and information I needed to make the right decision for me. All that being said .. they are just good, kind and caring people. I will whole-hardheartedly refer them to my friends and family.

P L. Google Review

There are law firms and there are law firms. Then there is Shaw Cowart who are cut above the rest by a country mile. They kept me informed the entire way of my case and was attentive to all my needs during the process. The most amazing thing is their care they gave me day or night. When my case was finally settled I was emotional at the end of it due to the level of care and concern they showed. I appreciate them so much and I can wholeheartedly recommend them to help you in your time of need. Give them a call first. Trust me. You will not regret it when it comes to vehicle accident care. I love them, and I know you will too.

Ethan has got to be the nicest attorney to have on your side. He helped us so much when a concrete company caused a lot of damage to our property. He guided us in filing in small claims and even returned a portion of our retainage money. He is absolutely amazing and has been an exceptional friend to my self and my wife Laura. Ethan thank you so very much your the best.
