Fantastic attorney. John Cowherd was attentive, responsive, and very honest. Did amazing with my personal injury claim. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and diligent attorney in SW Missouri.

Fought With Us
I used Sam for my adoption case. This took almost a year and he was there every step of the way. Anytime I needed to reach out to him I got either an immediate or a VERY quick response. He fought with us and kept me informed every step we took. I would absolutely recommend Sam and will use him again if ever needed in the future.
