He is an excellent lawyer

I had a complicated case of criminal driving speed ticket charge in Maine against me,because i was a canadian. The day before the court he made an agreement with the DA. They dropped the criminal charge. Thank you M.Bowe.

Outstanding Legal Services

Matthew helped me with a very complicated case. His services were outstanding, and he got very serious charges reduced to a traffic ticket. I cannot stress enough how professional and capable this attorney is. In addition, he is a very genuine, nice guy. Matt, I can't thank you enough!

Calmed my nerves

Matthew Bowe was terrific. I wish I'd talked to him when I'd first received my summons to appear in court over a traffic issue, as I'm sure he would have stopped my case from proceeding past an initial court appearance to get a hearing date. But when I realized that court is no place to be without... a lawyer, Matthew got on board right away, met with me asap, did all the research and investigative work (in unpleasant conditions!) on my case to help bring my case to a satisfactory close. He was always on time, always called me back quickly, laid out the possible outcomes very clearly, and made sure he knew what outcomes I was comfortable with, and kept me from spending a whole lot more money and time. He made what had been a very unpleasant experience, tolerable. Though I hope never to have to go to court again, I highly recommend him and would turn to him right away for help, if needed.

Wonderful Lawyer!

I hired Matthew Bowe when I was at risk for losing my drivers license. It was a matter of forms getting sent to an incorrect address. Matthew was able to prove this in court which resulted in my drivers license not being revoked.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
