Reviews

First and foremost, Mr. Gates and Mr. DiStanislao are true professionals who are not only very knowledgeable about the intricacies of all types of Real Estate transactions but keep their client's interest first and foremost. If you are looking for a team of attorneys that are straight shooters, knowledgeable about each transaction and don't over complicate transactions, then they are your guys. They are true professionals, and I would highly recommend their services to any Realtor and/or Brokers on both the residential and commercial side.
I, more than highly recommend Cowan Gates. I worked with Drew DiStanislao, and he is professional, compassionate, and works with you to get the outcome in your best interest interest. Drew is also fair with other attorneys, and calls, or emails you back no matter what. I will always use this firm and recommend to my friends and family. Thank you Drew! Also, to Debbie, their paralegal, who is down to earth and personable! If Drew is unavailable, Debbie is great!
As a Realtor I have worked with a number of law firms. Cowan Gates has always provided excellent service to my clients handling their closings. All of the attorneys and paralegals have been responsive and professional. I highly recommend Cowan Gates.
I had an excellent experience with Heath Gates as my closing attorney for my first home purchase. Heath’s deep knowledge of real estate law and his ability to explain each step clearly were invaluable. His professionalism combined with a personal touch made the process smooth and stress-free. Heath’s paralegals and staff were equally impressive—knowledgeable, approachable, and very helpful throughout the closing. They answered all my questions promptly and ensured everything went seamlessly. Their kindness and understanding made a significant difference, especially for a first-time buyer. I highly recommend Heath Gates for anyone needing a skilled and supportive closing attorney.
D. Heath Gates, Jr., is a bully of an attorney who threatens lawsuits with little understanding of the circumstances. It doesn’t surprise me that another extremely negative review of him already exists here. With his lack of competence, I guess he has to join daddy’s firm to have a job.
