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!!!!!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
