This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Professional lawyer.

The title says it all. Rob is a true professional. He is diligent,quick on his feet and highly knowledgeable. He works hard for the client and will put you on the right track. He's on top of it. .Robert also lets you know when you veer off course. In no uncertain terms. In court he is quick an...d professional . He Knows the jargon of law incredibly well. Know stuttering or pauses. In and out. On top of all that I've said, Rob is also very personable. Real. A good man. Looks you in the eye and listens . I'll give you an example. In my situation, I got a DUI. Felony. He came up with the idea of a fundraiser. I am a musician. So I put one on for Mothers against Drunk driving. Music acts. I raised 1200 dollars for them. It felt good and It taught me a valuable lesson. It also helped my case significantly. He helped shape my letter to the prosecutor. It was very important. The letter was about my life. Robert kept my license from being suspended. Knowledge. He knows what he is doing. A great lawyer has ideas. Has avenues to go down. Has all the information at his fingertips. That's him. Please call him! You won't regret it.

Thank You, Robert!

To summarize, I had the most absurd/worst thing in my life happen to me a couple of months ago. In a major not-at-fault accident, while sustaining my ninth concussion from the crash, I was dragged off to jail and detained by Nassau County for a month and without any mercy from the Florida Highway Pa...trol for a "leaving the scene" accident, even while I plead to the officers I had a concussion and needed to go to the hospital to get my head checked out. The officers did not care about my wellbeing, at all, and threw me into jail. During my time away and for the first three weeks, my family hired a local attorney thinking he would be of service. However, the prior attorney was ill-prepared and, as a result of his profound carelessness, I had to spend another week behind bars. Within a week, my family had dropped the prior attorney and hired Mr. Bowers to both rectify the wrongful imprisonment and to have the case dropped altogether. Through Mr. Bowers's help, he obtained the evidence required for my release while having the case dropped altogether. I know Mr. Bowers was simply doing his job, but he was truly heroic in what was the worst four weeks of my life. I can confidently say Mr. Bowers is the best attorney in the state of Florida and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Mr. Bower's level of professionalism, attention to detail, communication, and overall quality of service is unprecedented. Rob, I cannot thank you enough for all of your efforts and for saving my life!

Avvo Rating

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.
