John Donald Bowdren

A few years ago, John took my case for two felonies I was being charged with. He was not only an amazing lawyer, but an amazing friend. He explained to me every step of the case and guided me in what I needed to do in order to win my case. He recommended places to help with my alcohol abuse. He spoke... to me like he would to a friend, maybe even family. I knew I was going to be alright with his explanation of everything. This case which included charges like assault and reckless driving was ultimately dismissed. The dismissal of these charges allowed for me to go back to school and more recently obtain my graduate degree!!!! Furthermore, more recently I hired him to help with a friend was wrongly accused. He did a phenomenal job with this case as well. Helping to get my friend a PTA from a 155,000 dollar bond!!! I strongly recommend attorney Bowdren. Not only is he good at what he does, he is befriendable, understanding, kind and caring! I feel like he is part of my family. I thank God for John because without him I do not believe that I would be where I am today! Hats off to you Attorney Bowdren! Excellent job!

Atty John Bowdren took my case as he specialized in criminal law. I had no idea what to expect at court & had a lawyer to help guide me but I was never guided & in between court dates any question I had I would contact him to ask & was given vague responses leaving me still confused. When I looked fo...r clarification I was made to feel stupid & like I was bothering him. He would tell me to meet him at court at certain time but I would wait at least an hour for him to show up last minute to review case with me & then he would rush me. I should say in the very beginning he seemed interested in helping but It was like he never worked on my case at all. I ended up seeking counsel somewhere else about what I needed to do to wrap case up without having permanent record (first time offender), I do not know the system. Mr Bowdren made me more nervous. I would never recommend him.

I turned to John while I was caged, not at a time I could do much homework on an attorney. His yellow pages ad seemed to fit my needs. I would speak to John and then sometimes Jack would show up and seemed completely uninformed about what I wanted to happen. If you want a pair of zone defense... that are highly likely to be present for each and every one of there 100s of clients, rather than a lawyer that can keep track of your unique situation and information then go with John and Jack. Also I was told by John he didn't have time to answer my email, and he seemed to be annoyed when I spoke. I got the impression I was being constantly talked down to and assumed to be guilty by John. John could not seem to comprehend that I would not accept a plea deal under any circumstance. I dismissed John, got another attorney what would answer my questions and who had a much better attitude, and got my case moving and my charges ultimately dismissed.
