Andy
October 12, 2020

Andrew got to the heart of an international problem with such speed, and offered advice that was not only clear and correct, that my problem, when followed up in London, disappeared very quickly. There was no gain for Andrew in this process, and it was advice that other attorneys, on both sides of the pond, had failed to identify. When I first spoke to Andrew I was living a dystopian nightmare and had been for three months. Andrew's astuteness allowed me to wake from that nightmare and move on with my life.

Andrew took my case when others would not. It involved the back-office provider for the company I worked for mis-categorizing some of the work I did for them which negatively affected my retirement pension. Andrew was able to get a settlement in my favor..

Thank you for your help, determination, courage, analytical skills, and hard work. I appreciate that you didn't give up on me or my case and helped me stay out of jail so I can be with my kids . I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone in need of a good lawyer. My family and I are very grateful for all that you have done for us. Thank you so much

I met Andrew Cowan for an issue I had. He took his time and explained everything and provided great advice. He is very knowledgeable and went over many details that put me at ease with my case. I highly recommend him.

Andy represented me in a very complex and challenging case against a former employer. The circumstances of the case involved very stressful and personal attacks on my character with much sensitive information. Through it all, Andy was there and was always a true professional and, above that, he was kind, caring and compassionate and was a true champion! Andy was determined and kept me moving forward even when I thought about giving up on the case. Andy's approach was very meticulous and methodical and he was always conscientious about costs and only performed the tasks that were absolutely necessary and beneficial to the case. In the end, we received a fair and just settlement. I would hire Andy again - no question! Fantastic attorney.

I recently got into a situation where I needed an attorney to vigorously defend me against a very smart and tough corporate plaintiff with virtually unlimited resources. Mr. Cowan (Andy) was recommended to me by another high profile (and blue chip) attorney who knew the plaintiff extremely well. Over the course of our lengthy litigation, Andy was tremendously creative and thorough and was able to steer the litigation to a very satisfactory conclusion. His fees are a bargain for what you get – a former federal prosecutor and expert litigator, whose knowledge is both broad and deep – especially in complex and unusual matters. Additionally, I never once felt like Andy was delegating my case to some junior associate. Andy was always “the guy” handing my case, personally. He was also efficient with his work; I never once felt that he was creating work just to bill me more. Andy was also extremely ethical, and able to work collaboratively with (very good) opposing counsel. But having Andy on my side evened the odds. If you find yourself needing skilled, vigorous defense in a civil or criminal matter – or both – I could not recommend Andy more highly. He may just save your life.

I retained Mr. Cowan to represent me in a complex legal matter against a large multinational company. Though we were outnumbered by opposing lawyers and financial resources - Andy skillfully led us to victory. I found him to be insightful, direct, focused and a strategic thinker. I cannot speak highly enough of his performance and would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone needed legal guidance.

I had the pleasure of working with Andrew Cowan for nearly a year. He represented me with the utmost diligence and integrity, and was always responsive, realistic, and professional. Mr. Cowan was always attentive and always responsive. I appreciated his experience and expertise in my defense and the result of the case was better than was expected. I could not have asked for a better attorney to represent me and would recommend him without hesitation. Thank you Mr. Cowan!

I was honored to have Mr. Cowan representing me in my criminal case in the beginning of this year. Right from the start Mr. Cowan went to bat for me full throttle and was ready to fight for me aggressively. He was diligent, confident and always kept me and my family well informed of the progress of my case. Prior to this incarceration I have no crimal history and I really had no knowledge of what to expect. Mr. Cowan always reassured me when I had doubts and I couldn't have asked for a better attorney in such a important time in my life. He always came through for me from the start to finish and I was relieved in knowing I had someone out there who really was concerned about getting me out of the situation I was in. I would recommend him to anybody who needs a strong attorney to represent them.

Andrew Cowan, Esq. of Gallo LLP represented our New Jersey based company in an alleged breach of contract claim for $10MM in damages. Andrew’s expertise in California contract law permitted him to thoroughly identify the fundamental flaws in the plaintiff’s claim, allowed him to thoroughly explore all the underlying facts in order to deftly pro-actively anticipate and refute plaintiff’s probable counter arguments and to promptly convince plaintiff’s attorney to cause his client to withdraw the threatened complaint because the case was not viable. We found Andrew to be very responsive, in possession of a wide ranging expertise and acute legal skills, and highly capable of communicating effectively and promptly with all the principals of our company. We were also advantaged to have access to Andrew’s knowledge of the nuances of litigation in the Federal vs. the state judicial systems in the event the matter was to proceed to trial. Based on our many years of experience with numerous attorneys, we would highly recommend Andrew to others seeking representation on contractual disputes.
