Attorney Anne-Marie Bowen gave me my life back.

Shortly after being widowed, I incurred medical problems that used up my husband’s retirement and our IRA. I wasn’t on Medicare at that time and just watched our money disappear. I was finally able to return to work but eventually lost my job. I struggled for a long time to hold onto our home and wor...ked long hours at several different jobs just to maintain it. It was a losing battle. I couldn’t get help from the bank or HARP or any other hardship programs. I tried various times for payment plans or other financial tools with the bank but was always met with a no. The only way to hold onto my home was to file bankruptcy and make mortgage payments through a Trustee of the Court. Anne-Marie made the process bearable. She guided me to the right program and led me through the entire process. There were no surprises, financial, in fees or information. Everything that you read about her is true: she is well experienced, professional, an expert communicator and responsive. But there’s so much more in dealing with her. I felt safe and knew I could trust Attorney Bowen and her staff. Having researched other attorney groups and individuals, I found I would only be a number or a case file sitting in a stack of files on someone’s desk. Trust and personal attention are important when dealing with such life-changing financial and personal problems. I had no other debt and was only dealing with trying to hold onto my home which seemed to be a difficult concept for some attorneys to understand. Attorney Bowen understood the situation and is well experienced in all kinds of bankruptcy procedures. When I sold my home a year or so later, Anne-Marie was there for me, too. Not as a real estate attorney, but to guide and ease the way through the bankruptcy process and entanglement with the bank and the buyers. You never know what will happen and you might be scared and unprepared to deal with it. With Anne-Marie, you have a trusted advocate on your side. Respected by her peers, she is well known by the courts, is always responsive and communicative and went the extra mile to help me and look out for my interests. I now have a clean slate and a good life thanks to Attorney Anne-Marie Bowen.

Hiring this Attorney

I have never written a review for anyone before, but I feel compelled to write this one. When I walked into Attorney Bowen's office, I was fearful and had no hope there was anything she could do for me. She was not the typical lawyer I was expecting. I could tell by the way she approached my situ...ation, that she was genuinely concerned. There's a saying in my field of teaching - that kids can tell if you really care about them. I felt almost immediately that Attorney Bowen was real and did care about me. I'm not sure lawyers know this, but most people are not sure they can really trust a lawyer when they walk into their office. Interestingly enough, her assistant was the reason I chose Attorney Bowen over another lawyer. Her assistant was kind and I could hear empathy and concern in her voice when she corresponded with me. Attorney Bowen's knowledge of the law and her expertise in the area of bankruptcy was evident. She listened, devised a plan, explained how to proceed and how the court would view my situation. Her desire to help hurting people was also evident and that confirmation is what convinced me that I had chosen the right attorney. Not only could I tell she wanted to help lift the burden of financial ruin, but also wanted to help lift the burden of stress and heartache I was experiencing. As I left Attorney Bowen's office I knew that when I turned my financial hardship over to God, that he was walking beside me as he led me to a lawyer with a servant's heart. I am thankful for Attorney Bowen and her willingness to help people who have given up. She helped me realize there is always hope. Thank you Attorney Anne-Marie Bowen for acknowledging and accepting your true calling in life. You are exceptional in your calling. I highly recommend Attorney Bowen. She is honest, compassionate, and very professional in her understanding of the law. I would not want to go through this process without an attorney like Mrs. Bowen who is highly knowledgeable in the field of law and truly cares about her clients.

Incredible, Wonderful, Outstanding....The Very Best!!!

Attorney Bowen has been practicing Bankruptcy law for over 20 years. She came very highly recommend by another attorney friend. She was even better than her recommendation. She even found the best possible outcome through her wisdom and vast knowledge of the law. I wouldn't recommend anyone but her!!...!

Anne-Marie Bowen: Simply The Best!

I met with 2 bankruptcy attorneys before I chose Anne-Marie Bowen to represent me in my Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Not only is she a true, knowledgeable professional that has worked on numerous bankruptcies, she really has a heart of gold and cares deeply about you as a client. Bankruptcy can be a sad, em...otional, last resort decision. Ms. Bowen understands how difficult it can be and stood by me, from the initial consultation, to the hearing at the federal court. I had many questions about my property, possessions and creditors that Ms. Bowen gladly helped me understand. At the Creditor's Meeting, it was obvious that she is a very well respected attorney in the Middle District Court of Florida. Ms. Bowen really understands the law. It's been my honor to have her expertise and compassion during my case. I highly recommend Ms. Bowen to anyone having financial problems; she truly cares!
