I hired Ms. Gowen to help me get on disability and she exceeded my expectations. She is professional, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable. She helped me with the entire process answering my questions and when my worry/stress felt like it was getting the best of me she was right there to reassure me. If you are looking for a great attorney then I highly recommend Ms. Gowen. You will not be disappointed.

Saved our lives
I can't say enough about Ms. Gowen. From the very start she was very professional walked me through the process, explained everything clearly and treated me as my case and situation mattered. Sure I called other attorneys sat around weeks waiting for them to return my call....Then something amazing happened, I called Ms. Gowen and she actually answered the phone...Today I am so glad that I made that call....she literally saved our lives.

"I have known Deborah for more than a decade. We first met when she worked as a criminal defense attorney. She has always been a strong advocate in the courtroom. She is also a compassionate and empathetic counselor. I was so impressed with her work that when she began handling disability cases, I trusted Deborah enough to recommend her to a family member who needed help with a social security case. Deborah did an excellent job on his case, and my family was grateful for her help. I recommend Deborah highly."
