Attorney Lorie Bowen did a fantastic job keeping the process of my divorce moving forward. She kept the other lawyer honest and fair & when necessary put her in her place in a very professional manner. Thank you for your hard work!

Every decision by the law.

Handled my divorce from start to finish strictly by her knowledge of the law.From the master's hearing,superior court hearing I felt comfortable with all her decisions. No funny playing with her,everything had to be truthfull. She was always on top of my case.I beleive she is one of the best divorce ...lawers I know.Always there for you with her knowledge.I would recommend her to everyone in need of a lawer.

Conflict of interest

Unless you want to pay for an attorney that is working against you, after finding out there is a conflict of interest with the other parties attorney , I realized I was paying to be deceived.

I can say that I have never ever represented a client when I had a conflict of interest, nor did I do so in this case. I withdrew as her counsel because she became belligerent with me and hung up on me as it made it impossible to continue my representation of her. Since then she has gone on a rampage and has made numerous false and defamatory statements against me and her behavior is out of control. I just hope she gets the help that she needs.

Not impressed

Ok, I hired Lori Bowen for a divorce. So far I have spent around $2500 and have seen nothing much but a mailed letter (divorce agreement) and a letter to the courts for divorce. She charges for alot of things that other lawyers do not. If to be ex wifes attorney calls or emails Lori, I pay for it. $2...00/hr billed in 15 min increments. Then when there is a balance due, she will let you know about it. I just may have to hire another lawyer to get anything done with this divorce. Lori doesnt seem to be doing anything.

Unfortunately when this particular client came to me he told me that everything was agreed to between him and his wife so I charged a lower retainer. That was not to be as his wife would not agree to the terms he wanted. Thus, more work and more money was involved. He receives monthly bills and has never once questioned any entry on my itemized bill. He has not abided by the terms of his fee agreement which allows me to withdraw as his attorney but as of this date, I have not.

Divorce

I hired this attorney to help me with my divorce. She was awful. She was supposed to be fighting for me and my rights and she did just the opposite. I am not sure where she obtained her law degree or if she has one but I would not use her again or tell my worst enemy to use her. I switched attorn...eys for my custody issues because I knew she wasn't capable of handling them. She also charges way too much for what she does.

I've been in practice since 1991 and had my own office since 1998. Since that time I can only find one Jeff for whom I handled a divorce, which was back in 2008. If that review is from him, I can say that he never expressed any problems or concerns with me. He also entered into a voluntary Agreement with his wife to resolve all issues. While I realize that I cannot make 100% of the people happy 100% of the time, I can only say that the majority of my clients come to me from prior client recommendations and other lawyers. If any client I represent has any issues whatsoever with how I am handling their case, I welcome them to address it with me immediately. I cannot fix something if I am not made aware of it.
