Cowan Mitigation is not a law practice. Attorneys can, however, add Rick to the defense team to gather social history, obtain records, assess sentencing factors pre-plea, and communicate with family members and employers.

He works in the community, verifying information and assisting counsel in putting together the best possible pre-trial release plan and the best possible sentencing package. This enables counsel to focus valuable and limited time on studying discovery material, research, writing, trial prep and negotiation.
