Premium law-firm

Mr. Fowler and his legal team, changed the outcome of my case substantially; while being very informative and friendly along the way. If you are looking for the best legal defense in the Florida Keys. Look no further, I highly recommend this law firm.

Amazing

We came to Alan to help us with a legal matter because of his resume - but primarily because he cared. The situation became more complicated, but he not only handled the legal matter - but he also always showed compassion and concern. The family is very thankful we found Alan.

Key West Jam? Alan is your man!

My wife and I were visiting with family in Key West. Everything was great until we were blindsided by a terrible incident. We knew that we had to get quality representation immediately. Even though Alan and his family were on vacation, he quickly got back to us to discuss the problem. I cannot tel...l you how comforting and reassuring Alan was to my wife and I. Our case was dismissed within 72 hours of our first conversation. You get what you pay for and if you are in a Key West jam, Alan is your man. Don't let the Monroe County machine derail your life.

5-Star Law Firm in Monroe County

A loved one of mine needed representation in Monroe County. I did my due diligence and research on their behalf since I'm not familiar with the area, but have worked with a lawyer in the past and have some familiarity with what are good signs/red flags. I've also done previous research for other frie...nds and co-workers. I helped them retain Alan Fowler Law for their case after checking reviews from others on the business, comparing at least 2-3 other lawyers in the same area with similar reviews via free phone consultations, and the current prices for those type of cases. His firm was not the lowest price, but you usually get what you pay for. This is what you can expect from his law firm. You get realistic expectations for a very reasonable price based on the work they have to do. You get options and potential outcomes to how your case will be handled which is very accurate. They got the result they wanted. You will receive emails explaining your entire case and some background general law explanations so if you don't understand it, you will. You will get progress updates. You will receive reasonable turn around time when you call or leave emails (not all lawyers do this part well). If you can't pay at once or don't want to, they offer a reasonable payment plan (paid in full prior to finishing the case which is fair because otherwise they do a job they don't get full payment for). Overall, I definitely highly recommend.

Wonderful legal help for Monroe County

Alan helped us navigate a very old legal issue with Monroe County successfully. We had tried on our own for years to deal with them but had no luck. He walked us through the options and stayed by our side through the whole process until everything was dismissed. Would definitely recommend him to h...elp with any legal issues in the area.

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.
