Paralegals deliberately delays almost every closing-I was flying back from Europe once and they kept emailing me almost 20 times about rescheduling my closing due to a snow the following day, But God forbid you call and ask for a help

“Exceptional service and genuine care” I recently reached out to CowanGates with a legal question, and even though I wasn’t an existing client, they took the time to listen and offer thoughtful, practical guidance. It’s rare to find a law firm that combines deep legal knowledge with that level of professionalism and kindness. Their help made a stressful situation much easier to navigate, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone who needs trusted legal support. I’m genuinely grateful for their assistance.

Love this company, a friendly and helpful atmosphere. I love Mr Drew DiStanislao and his wonderful secretary, Debbie. If you need professional, honest, and loyal help, he comes with impeccable recommendations. He has a reputation for being a lawyer, par excellent. I will forever be grateful for his service. Thank you, DiStanislao.

My consultation with real estate attorney Mr DiStanislao was less than impressive. I had spent thousands of dollars with CG in the past with everything from real estate to estate planning. I had a smaller but important matter that needed attention. After emailing material for the meeting over a week ahead, he was totally unprepared to discuss my situation at our meeting and had delayed response for several weeks. He finally told me he could not take on my case after having my information for over 2 months with no reply. I do not recommend using this firm for any thing going forward until they can get their junior associates in line, and get their priorities sorted.

I, more than highly recommend Cowan Gates. I worked with Drew DiStanislao, and he is professional, compassionate, and works with you to get the outcome in your best interest interest. Drew is also fair with other attorneys, and calls, or emails you back no matter what. I will always use this firm and recommend to my friends and family. Thank you Drew! Also, to Debbie, their paralegal, who is down to earth and personable! If Drew is unavailable, Debbie is great!

I had an excellent experience with Heath Gates as my closing attorney for my first home purchase. Heath’s deep knowledge of real estate law and his ability to explain each step clearly were invaluable. His professionalism combined with a personal touch made the process smooth and stress-free. Heath’s paralegals and staff were equally impressive—knowledgeable, approachable, and very helpful throughout the closing. They answered all my questions promptly and ensured everything went seamlessly. Their kindness and understanding made a significant difference, especially for a first-time buyer. I highly recommend Heath Gates for anyone needing a skilled and supportive closing attorney.

Response from owner

We are very happy Heath and his team could provide you with a positive experience. Thank you for your kind words!

First and foremost, Mr. Gates and Mr. DiStanislao are true professionals who are not only very knowledgeable about the intricacies of all types of Real Estate transactions but keep their client's interest first and foremost. If you are looking for a team of attorneys that are straight shooters, knowledgeable about each transaction and don't over complicate transactions, then they are your guys. They are true professionals, and I would highly recommend their services to any Realtor and/or Brokers on both the residential and commercial side.

Response from owner

I recently needed the services of an attorney for a rather in-depth legal situation. After some networking, It was recommended that I should contact the Cowan Gates Law firm (they specialized in my legal situation) . Later that week, I had a consultation with Mr. Drew DiStanislao whom ended up taking my case. After more than a few emails, calls, and court dates Mr. DiStanislao had totally squared away my situation, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. He worked late many nights on my behalf, he kept me up to date on everything, he was always professional, knowledgeable, and hard working. He helped me out of a terrible situation that I couldn't have of gotten free from without his help. This is an experience I will never forget. I couldn't recommend anyone better. Ten Stars.
