Our Story<\/span><\/h1>\n

McDowall Cotter has served clients in the greater San Francisco Bay Area for more than half a century. In that time, we have established a reputation, in the courts and in the community, for ingenuity, integrity and a common-sense approach to the practice of law.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our expertise ranges widely, from business counsel to wealth preservation to dispute resolution and litigation. All of our services are rooted in a thorough understanding of the law, extensive experience with trials and appeals, and a longstanding commitment to protecting not only our clients\u2019 interests but also their peace of mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

We represent corporations, state and local governments, businesses of all description, families, and individuals. We are cost-conscious and process-driven. Clients receive concierge-level service from seasoned attorneys, paralegals, and client service specialists, all of whom employ the most advanced and secure technologies available.<\/span><\/p>\n

It has been said that in some ways we are an old-fashioned law firm. We believe in civility, value long-term relationships, cultivate a healthy work environment\u00a0and provide the highest quality legal representation in matters large and small. And we agree \u2014 we are old-fashioned, but then again we\u2019ve been old-fashioned for more than fifty years and still somehow we remain ahead of our time.<\/span><\/p>\n
