Anastasia Cowan has been helping me with my ongoing child custody case. She has been extremely helpful and has worked tirelessly to help me get my son back after he was taken out of state by his mother. She is passionate about the right thing for children and very tough in the court room. Anastasia has taken my matter as if we’re her own and has fought very hard to bring justice to my situation. I thank the lord for linking me with Anastasia as she is one of a kind.

I highly recommend the counsel of Anastasia Cowan for your family needs. Ms. Cowan represented me in a very private family matter regarding my son and won my case. I called over a dozen lawyers and even met face-to-face with a couple in their offices only to learn they did not have the knowledge or expertise to represent me. All of the lawyers I contacted in Cabarrus and Mecklenburg county were recommended by other lawyers but none could provide me the representation needed. Ms. Cowan was the only lawyer with the experience and expertise to represent me in my “unique” case. When you hire Ms. Cowan you can be assured she will be professional, provide trust, and work hard for your legal matters. An excellent trial lawyer able to prepare and execute a winning strategy. I am forever grateful for her services and what she has provided for me and to my family.

I highly recommend Anastasia Cowen. She assisted me through a difficult and contentious child custody and child support case. She’s a “No BS” and a “cut to the chase” attorney. Anastasia is very generous and compassionate to her clients. She maximized our time strategizing before our court appearance. In family law court, Anastasia’s knowledge and personal relationship really assisted me in a positive outcome. Anastasia was very efficient with her involvement with the case to cut my costs, and she was helpful in directing me to gather documents and information for effective pleadings and our strategy for a final agreement. If you are looking for an attorney to take as much stress as possible away from what could potentially be a very difficult situation-I cannot recommend her enough. Thank You Anastasia!

Attorney Brad Smith is most definitely the sharpest and most competent attorney I have ever dealt with in my 64 years of life. I would highly recommend him. He is an asset to this community. Dr. K.

Attorney Smith is amazing! He made sure I knew every scenario outcome that could happen in my case and made me feel confident. He does not allow the DA to jerk you around in court with continuations. If I ever needed him again (which I hope I don't) I would use him again.

Pete McArdle did a tremendous job helping me navigate the nuances of my divorce settlement and mediation.

Working with Pete McArdle has been a great experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney with extensive knowledge of child custody, particularly when dealing with a complicated situation. He’s the perfect balance of authoritative, yet approachable, and he does an excellent job during both intense courtroom trials and out of court negotiations/settlements.The attention to detail and accessibility of Pete and his team is fantastic. I’m so grateful to have him on my side!

Arnold & Smith is an excellent law firm to work with. I was in a car accident and they were able to help me even though I live in Illinois. All correspondence was done over the phone, e-mail, and fax. Everyone was wonderful, patient, and got me the maximum they could for settlement. Highly recommended!

I've been affiliated with this firm for some years. I find no complaint whatsoever with this group. Brad Smith and his staff are first class grade A+. BTW Mr. Smith is one of the BEST of the BEST, ranking #1. To make a longer story shorter, if ever the need of an Attorney comes up please do yourself a favor and contact the office of Arnold & Smith. It doesn't matter the need call them.

Anastasia Cowan and paralegal, Kristin Pierce, have gone above and beyond to ensure my voice was heard in what seemed like a hopeless case. Always prepared, and making me feel as her top priority, she helped open so many doors as I progressed my way back into my sons life. Anastasia has a genuine spirit and truly cares about her clients and their wellbeing. Her knowledge, expertise and credentials supersede expectations and most definitely benefit her clients. Her professionalism is admired and respected.

Pete McArdle represented me and my divorce went smoother than I thought. Pete is easy to communicate with and manages expectations well.He has incredible experience and his advise is great that everything went as expected at negotiation. Thanks Pete and the Arnold & Smith Firm.
