Allen Cowling Case Histories

We were retained by the American Catfish Industry to investigate theft. Following hundreds of interviews and surveillance, the results led to convictions that accounted for thefts exceeding $1,000.000.00.
We successfully resolved the circumstances surrounding the air crash that took the life of Mississippi's Ex-Lieutenant Governor, the Honorable Charles Sullivan. Our report was used by the NTSB in their final analysis.
We were honored to have the facts that we obtained, during a lengthy investigation, used productively by a review board to implement changes following allegations of child abuse at the Mississippi State Crippled Children's Center.
We completely dispelled all allegations of any police involvement during our investigation into a Neshoba County jail hanging of a young black male.
We identified the correct party responsible for the theft of drugs in a Federally funded clinic after two innocent pharmacists had been indicted and arrested. The state then dismissed all charges against these pharmacists.
Our investigative efforts completely released Ford Motor Company of any liability in an $11,000,000.00 action where Ford was blamed for the fiery deaths of several persons. A Ford Courier pickup truck collided head-on with another vehicle and allegations were made that the fuel pump in the Courier failed to shut off. Investigation proved there was a Toyota motor and transmission in the Ford Courier truck body so Ford had no liability, yet that fact was never discovered by Ford's experts.
Our investigative effort provided results proving that a Mississippi county deputy sheriff and a city detective were innocent of all charges filed against them by the Justice Department claiming they violated a prisoner's civil rights. They were both acquitted at trial.
We were retained by the American Tobacco Company and proved there had been no jury tampering following a lengthy tobacco trial in Mississippi. During that case, we actually invented a "post-trial jury questionnaire," that we understand has been used by the Tobacco Company in later cases throughout the country.
We have, on numerous occasions, located the real parents of adopted clients and on one occasion, located a 32-year-old client's father he had never seen and did so with a name only. In that case, the client was in prison in California.
We have conducted numerous missing persons cases throughout the country, including the location of a client's wife and children, living in another state, using different names.
We were retained by a client in Ohio and conducted all phases, including defense preparation and trial, after he was charged with 14 counts of sexual misconduct against a minor. Two charges were rape, each carrying a life sentence and 12 were GSI. He was acquitted on all charges.
We were retained by another client, also in Ohio, facing a life sentence for sexually molesting a minor. After a lengthy investigation, the State dismissed all charges the second day of trial, ending a three year ordeal for our client.
We were retained by a client in Chicago who faced multiple charges of child molestation. When we completed our work, all charges were unfounded and he was awarded the custody of the two daughters he allegedly molested. His ex-wife was ordered to pay child support and her visitation with the girls was extremely limited and supervised.
We were retained by a client in Indiana who faced multiple counts of sexual misconduct against a minor. When we completed our involvement, all charges and allegations made against him were dismissed by the State as unfounded.
We were retained by a man who was being harassed by a Department of Family and Children's Services, following an allegation that he had sexually molested his grandchild. We had the client meet with representatives of DCFS on several occasions and tape record his interview. The state was a one-party recording state, so no law was being violated. Following a battery of testing the client submitted to and by using the transcripts of the recordings from all interviews, all allegations were dismissed immediately as unfounded.
We were retained by a man on the east coast, who was being accused by someone on the west coast of sexually molesting him. We interviewed the accuser, who had no idea that we were connected to the case, and he readily admitted that he had never been sexually molested by anyone. This was accomplished after our client's local attorney advised him that there was no way that he could defend against an allegation of sexual abuse because it was impossible to prove that something didn't happen that really didn't happen.
We were retained in a Colorado sexual abuse investigation where the accuser admitted to us that no abuse had ever taken place. That was done after the child "passed" a polygraph exam in which he claimed the abuse did happen, after 2 psychologists stood ready to testify they believed the child, and just prior to any indictment being issued in either Arizona and Colorado.
We were retained by a man in Florida who had been accused of sexually molesting two young girls, criminally charged and his case had dragged on for more than a year. He had been advised by his attorney to accept a plea to a lesser charge. During my initial discussions with this client, he confessed that he had extreme reservations about retaining me, did not want to waste his money and felt that there was nothing we could do in a few days that his attorney had not already done in more than a year. During my first meeting with this client, we developed a defense strategy, based on a time-line of the allegations and then I had my client properly and adequately tested, over a two-day period. The overall combination proved to be successful when the State dismissed all charges prior to trial and his nightmare ended.
We were retained by a client in Pennsylvania who had been accused of molesting his grand daughter. Following our initial meeting, the report we prepared and the results of a successful battery of testing, was all that was necessary for the State to decide not to pursue criminal charges.
We were retained by a client in Iowa who was criminally charged and, following trial, it took his jury 25 minutes to totally acquit him on three charges of sexually molesting a child. My client's testimony was absolutely impeccable and he identified perfectly with his jury. As I have said again and again, in any case where an allegation of sexual abuse has been made, regardless of the amount of experts either side has, the case is normally won or lost based on the credibility of the accused against that of the accuser. This was a perfect example.
We were retained by a Colorado man who had been criminally charged with sexual abusing a minor. Prior to my involvement, he had retained an high-priced, out-of-state law firm who recommended that he accept a plea. That recommendation was based on DNA evidence where the State claimed they discovered "his" DNA on the child, but what was never looked at was the fact that the State also stated there was another DNA strain that was not identified. There were also many other issues we discovered that had never been considered and, for the first time, the accused had something to fight with.
We were retained by a man in Montana who had been accused of "touching" and "penetrating" a female child and was prepared for trial prior to our involvement. When we completed our initial analysis, we discovered that the child never told anyone the accused did anything to her, she simply "agreed" with her interviewers. As a result, the accused was granted a "Taint Hearing" and, following that, he was successfully defended at trial and acquitted of all charges.
We assisted with the defense and trial preparation of a man in London, England, who had been falsely accused of molesting a young female child. He was acquitted at trial.
Houston, Texas client, facing very serious child molestation charges, had all charges against him dismissed one month prior to trial, based on testing he submitted to, case analysis that proved the allegations could not have been true, and the work of an extremely good attorney.
St. Louis, Missouri client had his life restored after 2 and 1/2 years when a local jury said, "Not Guilty" of all charges of child sexaul abuse that the State of Missouri had filed against him.
A client in Iowa was allowed to move back into his home with his wife and children when all allegations of child sexual abuse were dismissed against him following his successful completion of extensive psychological, sexual preference and polygraph testing.
Assisted a Connecticut client who was facing 9 felony counts, based on allegations of abuse by 3 young accusers. Following a trial that lasted more than a month, the jury did not find any of the charges or the accusers to have been credible.
Assisted a client in New Orleans who had been accused by 3 young girls. His jury found him not guilty.
