Larry Henry Bowen

I went through a divorce that was very difficult and took an extreme amount of time to finalize. Mr. Bowen was there through it all. He gave sound advice, but more importantly he listened to my concerns and needs. He was quick to return calls and was happy to answer any of my question. He was knowle...dgeable about what needed to be done and how to go about doing it. I always felt Mr. Bowen was looking out for my best interest and went above and beyond his duty to represent me. When Mr. Bowen was going thought hard times in his personal life, he went out of his way and showed up in court when a court appointed commissioner was not available. Mr. Bowen is honest, professional, and trustworthy. I highly recommend him for your legal matters.

Divorce is sometimes awful and tricky, but Mr. Bowen was amazing at navigating me through this tough process. What I thought would be a simple divorce took a few crazy turns, and we ended up having to go to court. Mr. Bowen had all the paperwork ready to go and presented the case in less than 4 minut...es. The judge even applauded Mr. Bowen for the most thorough and efficient divorce filing he'd ever seen in all his years, decades as a lawyer and now as a judge. While divorce itself stinks, having Mr. Bowen and his office on my side was a delight and constant comfort through it all. They were always very quick to get back to me, when I sent emails and voicemails with questions, and able to explain the game plan, so I had an idea of what to expect at each step in the process. Mr. Bowen was recommended to me by two friends who used his service in their divorces, and I too cannot recommend him highly enough. While I hope to never need a lawyer in the future, Mr. Bowen will be staying programmed into my speed dial just in case.

I was going through a same sex divorce and a friend recommended Larry Bowen to me. I called him panicked about the possibility of losing my daughter because I wasn't the biological mom. Mr. Bowen listened to my fears, gave me sound advice (for free) over the phone and said "don't worry, come to my of...fice and we'll figure this out." I was in a same sex marriage and was frankly hesitant to go to Larry. To my surprise, Larry was well versed in the complexity of a same sex divorce. He gave me sound advice, he was honest, and frank. I can't thank him enough and I will recommend Larry any day of the week.

In my very challenging custody case, I needed a top lawyer. And, I am the kind of person who can only work with/for ethical professionals, who are also kind and humanitarian. Very hard to find such an ideal lawyer. However, from the first appointment, Mr. Bowen inspired me through his expertise, his ...very good advice, his integrity and workability. I trusted him and knew that my case will be in good hands with him. Indeed, Mr. Bowen was way more than a successful lawyer for me: he educated me about the law, the court experience, he counseled me all along during the most challenging year of my life, answered my questions, and made it as easy as possible for me. He inspired me confidence, security, and respect for all involved in the process. By the end of this battle, thanks to Mr. Bowen I am a stronger person and parent. Mr. Bowen has all the tools for success, and operates from a place of highest integrity. With respect and gratitude, I tried my best to do my part, and be as organized as possible. I would not have the courage to go to anyone else for help, having such a difficult case. I am forever grateful and highly recommend him to anyone going through a divorce and/or child custody battle.

Simply put – I highly recommend Mr. Lawrence H. (Larry) Bowen, Esq. and the Bowen Law Firm team to anyone seeking divorce, family law, child custody, and/or child support attorney representation! As a former Active Duty Soldier and now military retiree, I chose Larry based on his extensive knowled...ge of the military retirement system, and spousal support and property settlement case law. He also has a superb reputation for results within the Fairfax County judicial system. A close friend and former client recommended Larry in October 2005 to handle my impending divorce. Since then, Larry has successfully adjudicated for me an extremely difficult and complicated final divorce settlement in 2007, and an equally complex spousal support reduction/termination case in 2016. In each instance, I found Larry to be extremely personable yet candid, and clear and concise in his guidance and management of my expectations. He was prompt in answering my calls/emails and kept me informed on every step of the process – all at very reasonable costs. I was also very impressed with his courtroom litigation savvy, which served my interests well when my ex-spouse attempted to leverage the courts on two separate occasions. In each instance, the judges ruled in my favor thanks to Larry’s efforts. Larry has also surrounded himself with a superb team of professionals that exemplify his legal acumen and empathetic approach to client support. Specifically, Ms. Valerie Hughes, Esq. took it upon herself to research and develop a superbly written motion for reconsideration of a judgment on former spouse attorney fees levied against me during my 2016 spousal support reduction/termination hearing. Valerie’s herculean determination resulted in the Judge partially granting the motion for reconsideration and saving me over $6,000.00 in court costs! Again, I would highly recommend Mr. Bowen and the Bowen Law Firm team to anyone needing his area of legal expertise. I would definitely use his services again, if needed.
