They dragged out the divorce for 4 years, took my ex for most of what she was awarded, and acted childishly when they couldn't figure out how to release the lien that they put on the house so they could get paid. *Update: Since they replied with some nonsense, I've added a screenshot of the attorney's email so you can see who was really upset. I was awarded full custody of my son, got to keep my retirement account, and kept the house, while they pocketed thousands and left their client with barely anything, and as you can see from their response, they call that a success. Thanks for doing a terrible job, Brandon. 😂
We did not represent this person. In fact, this is an opposing party. This individual is quite upset about our obtaining a favorable trial outcome for our client, to his detriment. Aside from the inaccuracies and his dramatically skewed bias, this review is a testament to our success in this case on behalf of our client. For this reason, we would like to thank Mark for his review.
I highly recommend these attorneys and there staff 100%. They are so welcoming and make you feel safe even during the hard times. They are so easy to work with and their response time to any of your questions are on point even after your case may be done. They are always so willing to help in any way they can. Can't recommend them enough.
Brandon is an honest attorney. He does not waste your time or money.
Holly and Jake were AMAZING! I cannot thank them enough for the incredible work they did both on my case, and for sanity. They made me feel confident in my decisions and truly fought for the best outcome. Thank you!!!
So greatful and appreciative of Brandon and Amy. I highly recommend these guys
Brandon and Amy were very helpful during my divorce.
My divorce case was not complicated legally, but my ex-wife was extremely unreasonable and difficult. She found an aggressive law firm that encouraged her unreasonableness. Brandon was my 3rd attorney and picked up the case about two years and 10's of thousands of dollars into it. My previous attorney's were incompetent, non-responsive and easily bullied so Brandon did not have an easy job of picking up the pieces. At the point Brandon took over, my case was going nowhere fast. Brandon quickly got the situation under control and within a year the divorce was finalized with me getting exactly what I asked for 3 years prior. He researched diligently, let me know exactly what my rights were, and fought hard for me. I honestly don't even know how to describe his skillset. I honestly just think he's a great lawyer who acts with integrity and grit. After the case was settled, I had several more issues with the ex not adhering to deadlines, etc. Brandon talked me through how to handle the situation and kindly took the time to keep me going in the right direction. I can't say enough about this man and his firm. Highly recommend.
Brandon is the man! And someone you want on YOUR side. Thank you.
I cannot say enough good things about working with Holly Christensen. She was kind, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to make the process as smooth as possible. She handled everything quickly and efficiently, often taking care of things on her own so I didn’t have to worry. Holly even kept me on track with helpful reminders, which made such a difference. I barely had to lift a finger because she took such great care of everything. Not only is she professional and knowledgeable, but she is also incredibly friendly and supportive, which made me feel at ease through it all. I am so thankful for her help and would highly recommend Holly to anyone needing guidance and support.
I did a general Google search to see who could do a free consult for some custody issues. When I called and talked to the receptionist, a female, I asked her about the free consult and said that Google led me straight to them. I read her the bio because she said they don’t do it and all it talked about was free family law consult and she just laughed very rudely, and said “yeah have a great day” and hung up on me. Not impressed that was extremely rude. Alex was her name
I can’t say enough about the incredible work Brandon did during my case. From day one, he was fully committed, knowledgeable, and kind to me. He fought tooth and nail for me in trial, never backing down, and made sure that my voice—and my child’s best interests—were front and center every step of the way. What stood out most was his knowledge of the law, determination, and how much he cared about my family. His preparation was meticulous, his courtroom presence was commanding, and his presentation of the law was impressive and made the opposing party look ill-prepared and foolish. Thanks to his relentless advocacy, we achieved an outcome beyond what I had hoped for. He wasn’t just amazing during court, he also took time to explain anything I didn’t understand so that I wasn’t lost during the process. I will be forever grateful for Brandon and his team for their hard work, dedication, and compassion during the most difficult time of my life. If you’re looking for someone who will stand by you and fight with everything they’ve got, this is the attorney you want by your side.
Brandon and Jake changed my life and my children’s lives forever in the best possible way. I was in a terrible position without the knowledge I needed to enact change within the legal process. They are both extremely knowledgeable within family law and level headed enough to give it to you straight. I would trust their legal opinions in all scenarios as they always had mine and my children’s best interests at heart. If you are looking for the best of the best, you found them. Cowdin and Gatewood are head and shoulders above the rest.
I met Jake Cowdin through a friend when I was fearing going to mediation with my ex-husband. I don't know much about the law and I was worried about being prepared for the mediation. As soon as I met Jake, he was so calm and confident. I could feel my anxiety go away. He is so knowledgeable about the law. Every question I asked he was ready to answer with the law to back me up. He was quick to reply to emails or phone calls. I knew he was someone that I could trust and who would go into mediation to help me out. I felt very much prepared for mediation before it happened. He set out a plan and we were able to work well together. I didn't worry at all once we were in mediation. Jake knew what he was talking about and he proved it with the law. I recommend Jake as a lawyer because he has put in the work to study and understand the law. He is like a good friend who has your back and doesn't let anyone take advantage of you. His whole office staff was very professional and friendly as well. I never like legal disputes but I know I'd rather have a professional like Jake on my side handling those issues with me.
When I approached Cowdin & Gatewood, I was worried about facing a contentious and difficult divorce. I needed someone strong and capable on my side. Jake Cowdin and his team far exceeded my expectations. Jake exudes a calm confidence that stems from his extensive knowledge and experience. He provided a clear, objective assessment of both my strengths and vulnerabilities without sugar-coating anything. For every worst-case scenario he presented, he also explained exactly how he would address it. This gave me peace of mind, knowing I was in capable hands. I also appreciate how efficiently Jake manages his team to keep costs reasonable. It was clear that resolving my divorce quickly and favorably was a priority, rather than accumulating billable hours. Integrity, competence, and confidence are the qualities I look for in an attorney, and Jake Cowdin embodies all of them. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Jake is an amazing attorney. He is trustworthy, honest, and goes above and beyond. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney. Best of the Best!!
I have been working with Brandon Gatewood for 10 months now on a very high conflict divorce and fighting an unjustified and abused temporary protective order. Having been to so many court dates now, I have seen plenty of attorneys in action with clients in similar situations as mine. None of those attorneys has been at the same level as Brandon or Jake. If you need an attorney that knows how to navigate these waters and will fight for you, this is the best firm you can find!
I truly don't know where I would be if I hadn't found Jake when I did. He helped me through a situation that no other attorney would take on. He communicated everything with me along the way and always told me what to expect. I have referred others to him and will continue to do so!
