McDowall Cotter has served clients in the greater San Francisco Bay Area for more than 70 years. 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. Our expertise ranges widely, from business counsel to estate planning 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' interests but also their peace of mind. 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, and provide the highest quality legal representation in matters large and small. And we agree — we are old-fashioned, but then again we've been old-fashioned for more than seventy five and still somehow we remain ahead of our time.
