Houston Putnam Lowry's Lawyer Endorsements
"Our law firm referred a possible contingent fee case to Attorney Lowry (on a Friday). Although Attorney Lowry did not ultimately accept the case, he spent several hours reviewing the facts and speaking with the client over the weekend and into the next week. The client felt that Attorney Lowry was both very responsive and thorough in his review. When Attorney Lowry could not accept the case on a contingency basis, he found someone else who did accept it on a contingency basis. I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer."
