About Us

40 years ago David J Cowan set up a legal practice from his family home, and quickly built up a base of clients who were willing to trust in him as a newly qualified solicitor. Soon the practice grew and David moved into the Firm’s current premises on South Street Dorking, where is has had its presence in the community ever since.

The Firm became a Partnership in 2015, as Cowans Solicitors LLP, under which the practice has continued to develop its excellence in legal expertise and client care.

The Firm’s heart is to continue to serve the local community and the surrounding areas, with a professional and caring service.

Unlike many Firms nowadays, we still offer Legal Aid in criminal work, and have sought to improve access to justice for our clients in Surrey & Hampshire by opening our second office in Ash Vale in 2017.

Our expertise cover all the main areas of high street practice:

Making your will
Probate and trust administration
Criminal law
Road Traffic Law
Military Law

If there is something that we are unable to assist with, then we are happy to signpost you to another organisation who may be able to help.
