find another legal firm! its easy too see now looking back they new they couldn't help me they just took my money and played phone and email tag until they could justify keeping what i payed in advance.
like others if i could give zero stars i would

I highly recommend Bill Cownie for family relations legal work. My case has taken over 3 years to complete (still not done) and Bill and his staff have met every one of my needs. Moreover, Bill strategically handled my case flawlessly, countering every move the opposition made while minimizing expense to me. If you are in for a tough divorce, Bill is your guy.

I have dealt with a lot of attorneys over time and Mr. Cownie is by far, the best. He laid out all my options in terms I could understand and helped me decide on the best course of action for my situation. He kept me in the loop throughout the whole process by giving me regular updates, even if no action was needed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for any legal work you may need.

Bill Cownie is the best attorney around. After helping us with a family member's legal troubles, traffic violations, a nasty divorce for my girlfriend, landlord troubles and helping us win a lawsuit after a dog attack on the job, we really got to know Bill and his team. He has always been there for us with legal advice and had never failed to deliver whenever we needed him. Doug and Amy are great, and ready to help whenever and however they can. They are always ready to answer your questions and always make time for you. Bill is fantastic and he really knows the law. He doesn't just guess and hope he's right, he will find the right answer and tell you straight every time. His rates are very reasonable, too, especially considering the level of detail that he puts into each case. He keeps you informed, up to date and prepared for your day in court. I love working with Bill and his team, and whenever I need legal services again, I know exactly who I am going to call. I recommend that you do, too. THANKS BILL!!

I have used this firm and lawyer for a divorce and for traffic and other items including my estate plan, they are FANTASTIC, can't say enough good things!!!

Earnshaw & Cownie are OUTSTANDING!! I have used them multiple times and each one was amazing and very fair price. I have used other lawyers in the past and this firm is fantastic!!!

They took my money and said we had a good case. Then proceeded to tell me I made too much money for bankruptcy and now I am out another 1,850 dollars.

Ms. Sayers:

This will respond to your e-mail of 7/16. Math is brutal. Math does not change even if you get very emotional. As I have stated in writing previously the bottom line is that you have a math problem. Specifically, your math problem is that your income is slightly over the means test. It is also worth noting that the “means test” is part of the Bankruptcy Law. This is not my rule. We developed a strategy for you to comply with the means test, but almost immediately, you contacted me and said that your very next paycheck will be higher than planned.

Per your e-mail we will stop working on your case. To account for the funds that you have paid to date, we will prepare an itemized bill showing the services and time spent on your case and submit that itemized bill.

Bill Cownie

Update
He charged 1520.00 and did not help me
Do not use this lawyer!!! Scam artist

The whole office is very professional, but really care about your needs. First set down with me and set a game plan. They took every change to the plan in stride. *****Very reasonable when it came to rates***** They did the research necessary when needed. I am very happy with the results in my family court case. I will always come to them with all of my law needs.
Wanted to make an update. They have been keeping up with their end of the payment plan very well. Even willing to work with me if things aren't going my way. When something else arose, they were willing to work with me to help get it resolved. They have always communicate with me very well.

Bill Cownie is amazing. He is worth every dollar and an all around Good guy.

If I could give zero stars, I would. They completely rip you off in every way shape and form. They email you pretty much everyday, charging you $55 an email and if you don't respond right away they print the same email and send it to you through the mail, charging $55 again! Divorce is a terrible experience for anyone who has to experience it. They treat you like an idiot for worrying about things that "just don't matter right now." Luckily my husband and I reconciled which made them mad because they couldn't scam me out of more money although they wanted me to do all the work! They did close to no work on my case but because I said something to them for being rude since day 1, they decided to go ahead and make ridiculous charges up so not only did I not get ANY of the $2,500 retainer back, they are saying I owe $125! It was handwritten on the statement that he "did me favors" otherwise it would have been more owed. Please please do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. They should not be in business, they do not care about the well being of their clients they're too worried about how much money they can weasel out of people who they know in the first place don't have much to begin with. Also, they sent me someone else's private information for her trial, because we have the same first name. I cannot stress this enough.. Save yourself the stress, save money, and save some dignity because the minute you become "their client" you've lost any hope for being represented fairly.
*UPDATE*
I WAS a client, and IF you each did ANY type of actual work yourselves, you would know what my maiden name was, especially because it was IN MY FILE PER YOUR OFFICES' REQUEST. Either way, you should have been able to tell by the date of the review and facts included in that review who I was. That is ok though, go ahead and lie to the internet. This is only one platform mind you... I still have the documentation you incorrectly sent me for the other Kaylee, which might I remind you, is quite the HIPAA violation. So please, fact check yourselves before you look like a fool again. You run a business and here you are distastefully arguing with a 28 year old woman because I.. what.. got under your skin? Or is it because you didn't think I would let everyone know how scandalous your practice is?? Think again.

If I could give this place a zero star rating I would. They kept adding new charges for a simple child support case. It was a cut and dry case they were paid 5000. My daughter had to fire them before the court date because they kept filing unnecessary papers and she could never get passed the person answering the phone (and yes I was next to her on several attempts). The person answering the phone is Doug Miles, Doug Miles his the rudest most unprofessional person I have ever met. He said the case would be lost if my daughter fired the lawyer but still refused to let me talk to the lawyer. Doug Miles was verbally abusive and intimidated my daughter to the point that I insisted she fire them. He called her names(and yes she was on speaker for the calls I witnessed) and this was the firm that was representing her. After firing the firm my daughter represented her self and received everything that she wanted.(as I said it was a simple case). Now they served paper and sewed both me and my daughter for 5700. Again my daughter called the office and couldn't get past the rudeness of Dough Miles. Never, Ever would I recommend this firm.

Friendly staff and reasonable rates. Dealt with my traffic ticket quickly and efficiently. Would recommend their services.

This office never failed to keep me in the loop about my case. Everything was done quickly, efficiently, and without drama. I will be using them for my will & medical power of attorney.

Cownie and his team are the best legal firm in the area. He and his team helped me through a tough time that could have ended up truly dismal if handled by a different firm. He's available 24/7 confident, competent, and well respected throughout the community. If you need legal help, you need to call Cownie !!

I have used Bill and this firm for a couple of difficult cases and they have been awesome
Always keeping me up to date and listening and I could not be happier with results
