Excellent Criminal-Defense Attorney

I've consulted and worked with Dow on many federal criminal cases over the past fourteen years, and his knowledge, experience, and tenacity are simply unparalleled. I highly recommend Dow to any person facing a federal criminal investigation, prosecution, or asset-forfeiture matter.

Attorney Dow Bonds Hits Another Grand Slam

If your reading this, search no more. You will not find a better attorney. I was facing felony drug charges when I hired Dow. My Husband used Dow several years ago for a DUI and Dow was able to get his charges dropped. Dow assured me that he would do everything he could to get the charges dismisse...d, AND THAT HE DID. Sixteen hours of community service and in six months all charges would be dropped as long as I didn't get in anymore trouble. You can't get any better than that. THANK YOU DOW!!!!!

Great lawyer!

I have hired and needed Dow on more than one occasion, and he has been an excellent attorney every time. Not only were his actions in court superb, but the advice gave outside of court was as well. I have referred colleges to him and they were very pleased with their services. I recommend Dow to anyo...ne I know that needs a good competent attorney.

Excellent Attorney, You Will Be Extremely Satisfied

I was charged with DUI several years ago when a friend handed me Dow's card. When you get in trouble and know your about to spend a lot of money deciding on an attorney can be very stressful. Dow came highly recommended. When I first spoke to Dow I could tell he was genuinely concerned about my ...case and how the charges, if convicted, would affect me. When your in trouble you want to know that your attorney cares about your case and isn't just there for your money. I can honestly say without a doubt that Dow did everything he could for me. He went above and beyond my expectations getting my case dropped to a simple traffic violation with no jail time, no community service, no DUI classes or suspended license. When I walked out of the courtroom I was done and never looked back. I've heard horror stories where people spent thousands on an attorney who did absolutely nothing for them. That is scary knowing when you walk in that courtroom you don't get a second chance. To anyone out there no matter what your charged with Dow is the best attorney in Savannah. Call, leave a message and wait for him to call you back. You'll be glad you did. I was.
