I was born in the State of New York, but grew up in Northeast Tennessee.  I graduated from Sullivan East High School and joined the United States Marine Corps where I served with distinction and after receiving an honorable discharge in 1998 I returned home to pursue my education.  I am a graduate of Northeast State Technical Community College and East Tennessee State University and hold an Associate Degree in General Studies and a Baccalaureate of Science in Criminal Justice with a minor in Political Science. In 2004 I was admitted to the Appalachian School of Law where I received multiple awards in legal writing, I was on the dean’s list, and I graduated in the top 25% of my class.. After serving the public in the Office of the Public Defender for Sullivan county and solo practice I joined The Senter Law Firm, pc, in 2015 as an associate attorney. I practice Construction law, Personal Injury, Divorce, Child Custody, Adoption, Guardian Ad Litem, Criminal Law, and Juvenile Law, and I am licensed in Tennessee and Virginia as well as the Federal Courts in Tennessee and Virginia.

I had the unique opportunity to live in Sydney, Australia, for several years where I met my wife, took classes at Macquarie University pursuing a Post Graduate Diploma in Accounting, worked at the loading dock for Target at the Macquarie Center, surfed, and played soccer. My wife and I moved to Memphis where I attended law school. When I graduated, I obtained a job with a large law firm, where I practiced law for two years. I then had the chance to go into practice with my father. Our law firm became Fowler & Fowler, PLLC in 2005. Since 2005, we have been building our firm through technology and doing something we love--helping people solve problems.

I've been practicing law in Northeast Tennessee for fifteen years.  I live in Unicoi County with my wife Stephanie, a veterinarian, and sons Luke and Heath.  I served as a combat engineer in the United States Marine Corps Reserves from 1998-2004 and enjoy sports, hiking/backpacking, movies and travelling with my family.  I'm also an environmentalist, and I believe our country should guarantee healthcare to all its citizens and put far fewer people in jails and prisons.  I represent clients from all walks of life and I don't discriminate based on race, gender, socioeconomic class, sexual orientation, or any other parameter.  TALK TO ME whenever you want, via phone call or text, to schedule an appointment or simply discuss you legal matter.  If I don't know the answer to your question, I'll at least point you in the right direction.

I view my role as listener, advisor, and counselor. I particularly enjoy learning my client’s business and becoming a member of the “team.” Whether working together to negotiate a contract or lease, limit liability, create policies and procedures, document an arrangement, create an entity, deal with an agency, or manage a human resources question, my goal is to serve the client’s needs.I enjoy the challenge of assisting the business with legal questions. Often, there is a better resolution that allows the parties to retain autonomy and limit expense. My most satisfying results have been achieved behind closed doors without fanfare. However, we are always ready to litigate when a matter must be handled that way, and we pride ourselves on preparation and results.

I have been upset with how other lawyers deal with the sensitive issue of Bankruptcy and debt relief. In past work I saw lawyers look at the client as a way to make money. This especially aggravated me since this field of law deals with individuals in financial stress.. I do not like to see people in Elizabethton, Johnson City and the surrounding areas being taken advantage of by not only creditors, but greedy lawyers. The larger filers have a tendency of not putting forth the work and advocating for the rights of their clients. I want to use every tool to help.. There are many rights that Bankruptcy law affords. I believe I can help those in Elizabethton use those rights to get out of debt. I also want to do it more efficiently and effectively than the bigger Bankruptcy attorneys. This means I get my clients a fresh start at a low cost.. Why choose Cisowski Law?. Small and focused: Cisowski Law is a small and developing practice. It is my mission to keep my client base small so you can get the service you need. Large filers in the area do not have and do not give you the time you need.. Convenient: Cisowski Law is the only focused Bankruptcy filer in Elizabethton conveniently located on Highway 19E. There is plenty of parking and the office is convenient for anyone located in Elizabethton and surrounding counties.. Affordable: Cisowski Law understands that filing for bankruptcy means you currently are not capable of large payments to an attorney. We offer a free consultation to determine whether Bankruptcy is right for you, and we charge the lowest rates we can. Unlike larger filers, I am willing to set rates as low as I can afford, which means reducing my own expenses so I can give you a cheaper and better service.. Compassionate: I get that hiring an attorney means that you need careful consideration for your situation. I make sure to treat all my clients with the care they need and deserve. I will make the process easier and give you the respect and dignity your are entitled to.
