SO YOU'VE NEVER USED A LAWYER BEFORE

Hiring a lawyer doesn't necessarily mean you'll have to go to court.

For many people, the legal system seems stressful and cumbersome. We want you to know that it doesn't have to be that way. Lawyers can be hired on a budget, and many cases can be resolved with very little client involvement. 

DON'T WORRY IF YOU SAID TOO MUCH OR TOO LITTLE. WE WILL HANDLE THE COMMUNICATION. 

If you’re worried about hiring a lawyer, it’s understandable. Lawyers today have a bad rap as being arrogant and greedy. But we strive to be different. When you leave our office, you’ll feel much better than when you came in. No matter what you said to the police or what you said to anyone else, rest easy. Even if you accidentally incriminated yourself or said something that works against you in court, there are always ways to have statements thrown out. When it comes to your personal injury, know that you have a dedicated team of lawyers fighting in your corner.

If you’re worried that you can’t afford a lawyer, then don’t worry. When we take your case, we don’t get paid unless you do. That’s how confident we are that we can win. Not having enough money should never be a reason that people can’t get good legal representation, especially when they have been wronged and truly need it. We want to make sure that those in need are taken care of. So if you’ve never had to hire a lawyer before, or you’ve had a bad experience with one in the past, let us change that for you.

When you hire Downs, McDonough, Cowan & Foley, you can rest easy knowing that you’ve hired a team of lawyers who know what they’re doing and take great pride in their work. We don’t win unless you do and we will always fight to make sure that happens.
