Divorce

Going through a Divorce is one of the greatest challenges you can face. Having an attorney who not only understands the law but shows compassion for the situation is invaluable. There is no “winning” in these situations. Barbara carefully guided me through the process and educated me along the way so I understood the decisions being made. To this day I have a personal relationship with Barbara which speaks to her acumen as an attorney and qualities as a person. I strongly recommend Barbara Cowen to be your attorney in any Family Law matter

I was stuck... Deep into a case that seemed to have me backed into a corner .thankfully at the last minute I found Barbara Cowen. Within a months time she was able to bring all truths to light. Her attention to detail and deep knowledge of the law is impeccable . The outcome of my case was fair and that's all one can hope for. Because fair is what it should be. I truly would recommend Barbara to anyone I know that needs legal representation and I already have!!

Barbara Cowen is a dedicated, compassionate, ethical, tenacious, perceptive and experienced professional who approaches what she does as a calling rather than just "work". She understands a situation immediately and focuses on achieving the best outcome possible with the resources available. Barbara is sensitive to the needs of families going through challenging circumstances and is a guardian of their well-being. I recommend her wholeheartedly!

 
Discrimination

Hired Attorney

She pretended to have the expertise on my case on employment discrimination. However, she solicited help and advice from her cousin who was at the same institution I was suing. This was an enormous conflict of interest, but she didn’t mind. She advised me with the help of her cousin to file an internal Title IX complaint, which was a very big mistake. This caused me a big delay in filing a lawsuit, and my illegibility to have the attorney fees covered by the institution. In addition, when my case got more complex, she couldn’t handle it and quit on me at a critical time. Now I lost everything. Couldn’t get my job back and lost the opportunity to get justice tor my case. That’s how unprofessional and non compassionate Barbara Cowen is as a lawyer.
