"Because Lexington is centrally located, I am able to meet with lawyers all over the state without undue travel time or expense." "In addition, my close proximity to the Kentucky Bar Center makes it easy for me to appear at evidentiary hearings, meet with prosecutors in the Office of Bar Counsel and review records in the Office of the Disciplinary Clerk."
"A face-to-face meeting or extended phone conversation is sometimes necessary to
launch an attorney-client relationship properly. But once a good rapport has been established,
it's rather easy to maintain communication by phone, fax After all, the most important issue is not the means of communication but how frequently it occurs, how much substance it contains and whether it empowers the client to make informed decisions. Lawyers are comfortable with written communication. They don't need as much 'face time' as other people, so long as they are getting the information they need. And they're too busy to be trading phone calls all day. That's where technology comes in. I have been showing other lawyers how to use technology for over twenty years. I use technology in my practice to move information around as quickly and effectively as possible, especially to my clients. The most recent example is my client extranet. Tools of that nature make geographical location meaningless. I work as closely with lawyers several hundred miles away as I do with lawyers who are just across town."

"Although I am in Louisville and Ben is in Lexington, we have been able to work closely together throughout my case. He has made it a point to use all available technology to keep me informed about developments and include me in decisions. I would say this to other Kentucky lawyers: No matter where you are located, Ben Cowgill can serve effectively as your counsel in a matter of legal ethics." ~ A Louisville lawyer who employed Mr. Cowgill as defense counsel in a disciplinary case (name withheld to preserve confidentiality) Very few lawyers concentrate in the field of legal ethics. The Association of Professional Responsibility Lawyers has only several hundred members nationwide, including only four with offices in Kentucky. Mr. Cowgill is the only one of those four who has gained experience on both sides of the disciplinary system, as a prosecutor and as defense counsel. He is also the only one whose practice is limited to matters that involve issues of legal ethics and the law governing lawyers. Mr. Cowgill advises and represents lawyers located all over Kentucky. He also advises and represents out-of-state lawyers who become involved in questions about legal ethics in Kentucky. He has also counseled and represented students at each of the state's three law schools, regarding character and fitness issues. He is able to practice all over the state: ► by using state-of-the-art technology, including a network of office and portable computers and a secure client extranet; and ► by maintaining a fully-equipped office in his home, allowing him full access to his practice resources at all hours.
