The Law Offices of J. Cameron Cowan fights hard to protect the rights of the accused, including drug possession, DWI defense, and more. In my 12 years spent as a chief felony prosecutor, I learned the intricacies of how to obtain a conviction and I use this knowledge on behalf of my clients to avoid having them spend time behind bars. This deep understanding of criminal law I put to work in defense of each client I work with.
