John Donald Bowdren

John is an honest lawyer. He is realistic and does not mislead his clients. When I got my Dui I insisted we "fight this thing!" He asked me,"So you didn't drink and then drive?" Guess what? I did. John guided me through the process and got me into the alcohol program for first time offenders, which d...rops criminal charges. He knows what he is doing, he responded to all my calls and texts, and he is reasonable with his fees. He truly cares. I am having financial hard times and he worked out a payment plan with me. I will continue to use and recommend him.

I would NEVER recommend his services, not even to my worst enemy!!! I contact Jack O'Connell and spoke to him about legal representation and a payment plan. He told me that he would represent me in my case and we had set up an appointment for me to come into the office to have a consultation. When I... arrived for the appointment, I was informed that Jack O'Connell would not be representing me but his partner, John Bowdren would. I was not comfortable with this abrupt changed but I was reassured that I would receive the same level of services, regardless of who was representing me within the firm. I should have listened to my gut feeling because when I began too notice that it was all a lie, it was too late. Once the case was underway, the payment plan we had agreed to, went flying out the window and Attorney John Bowdren DEMANDED full payment. I had told him that there was a reason that I had agreed to the payment plan, because I could not pay all of it upfront. Well, his response to that was, whatever agreement that was made between Jack and myself, had nothing to do with him. (Yes, at this point I should have walked away but I was in dyer need of representation, so I stuck it out) Well durning all of this, I had asked him to please postpone the court date to another day. Well Mr. Boldren failed to do so, which caused the court to issue a warrant for my arrest. I had hired the Law firm to help me resolve a legal matter with the court but instead did nothing but cause me even MORE issues! I attempted to contact him after my court date to see what day the case was postponed to and never received a call back from him. I found out about the warrant when the police showed up at my home to arrest me! I NEVER received a call from Attorney John Bowdren about this warrant. I then called him numerous times and finally he returned my call, from the last time I called him, over a week later! The impression that I got from him, durning the conversation, was that he just didn't care about what had occurred, due to his neglegence. I told him that I no longer want him to represent me and that I was in the process of obtaining new legal representation. He still had the audacity to ask me for full payment for services "NOT" rendered!!
