Cowdin & Gatewood, LLC - Clearfield, Utah

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.

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.

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.

This firm put a lien on my house to collect payment from my ex's half of the equity for representing her. One of the partners personally insulted me when I got annoyed that they couldn't seem to figure out what paperwork the bank wanted in order to get them paid. It only took a few minutes for me to google it for them.

Since they have decided to refute my claims, I've added a screenshot of the attorney's email.

The only reason they appear to have for calling this case a success is that they took about a third of the money my ex got from the house. I got full physical custody of my son, started receiving child support, and pay my ex less alimony than I did before Mr. Gatewood began working on her case.

So please, if CPS issues a finding of neglect against you, hire these guys like my ex did. They will probably make sure your kid is where they need to be.

Jake Cowdin was amazing. He is smart and knows the law inside and out. He kept me updated on my divorce every step of the way. He made sure to be honest with what I should expect and what i deserved. He made sure that i got everything i wanted and that it was fair and in my favor. I hope to never have to use him again. But i will 100% trust that he would take care of me all over again if i need to. If you are in need of a great attorney! Call him! Hands down the best!

Brandon is a fantastic lawyer. He especially shines in the courtroom. I had their assistance with my divorce. Brandon and Jake were far superior to the opposing council, and it made all the difference once we were there in front of the judge. Don’t cheap out on a lawyer get these guys who know what they are doing.

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!
