Steven Wesley Bowden

I paid this attorney to represent my son in a family court matter. He wanted $2500 for all he needed to do and if he went to trial he would need an extra $2000. So I paid him the entire amount Just In Case...When they settled the matter with out going to trial. I asked my son to get the $2000 back... from him and he said the lawyer had told him he owed the money regardless and scratched out the original document and changed it to say he could take the whole amount and then had the nerve to bill him for additional fees.

Mr. Bowden treated my case as if he was representing me even though I had not hired him. After telling him the specifics of my case, he wanted me to keep him up to date with what was going on. I am charged with domestic violence (cruelty towards a child) and the arresting police officer put things in... the report that were not true in the least. After my family met with the state attorney and told him that they wanted the whole thing dropped, I let Mr. Bowden know and he still offered advice on what to do next. I now have his cell phone number in case I need him at court.

Divorce is an awful thing to deal with. Steven will be the nicest person on the planet when you first see him, butter wouldn't melt in his mouth. But once he has your money pray you don't experience what my partner did. You will only ever get to talk to his staff and they don't know what they are doi...ng most of the time. He is not aggressive in court. You will hardly ever be informed on what is going on and even then decisions will be made without consulting you. He is stressful to deal with and divorce is stressful enough without your lawyer adding more. Don't believe all the positive reviews anyone can make accounts and write reviews . Look hard at the negative ones and pray that you are not going to be the next person writing one. My honest opinion is if you are female and going through a divorce the worst decision you will ever make is to contract this lawyer and if you do you will remember reading this and wishing you took notice of it. The best thing that happened to my partner is she contracted a different lawyer before her divorce ended. Which obviously happens allot as Stevens staff informed her Steven usually sends out a nasty letter when people do that. And they were correct -he did.

When I left my abusive relationship my parents said get a bull dog to protect my child. I didn't understand what I was being asked to do. They explained that a bull dog sinks his teeth in and doesn't let go, or break under pressure. That is Mr. Bowden! He sunk his teeth into my ex's lawyer, never buc...kling under the pressures of litigation and stupid requests by his lawyer. In the end we got even more than we expected. Thank you for protecting my child and helping me out of abusive marriage. This is the one you should always get!

He should not even have a license to practice law. He told me we were having a jury selection and not to be late. He even had his paralegal drive me....and we were an hour late! Could you imagine? Then, I found out the entire situation was a sham. I paid him 10,000 for a defense he never provi...ded He does no legal research. Actually, he doesn't know how to even do it. I did most of it for him. Stay away from him at all cost.
