Complex, long term litigation and resolution

The Bowes Law Group excels with complex, long term cases. I actually left a firm to retain the Bowes Law Group. My case was not easy for anyone involved. When you are in a situation like mine you need an attorney who wants to understand you, not because they are paid to do so. Compassion is imp...ortant, however without the skills to navigate a complex case, it's useless. The Bowes Law Group excelled for me in trail. They are very detailed. I never had to recount any data. In fact, they remembered details from memory that I would never expect anyone to remember. This is huge! When you have a curve ball thrown at you in the middle of trial, my attorney recounted every detail and evidence important to my case! I highly recommend anyone to use this firm, may the case be quickly resolved or not. None of us are comfortable in these situations, and you will find confidence and trust with the Bowes Law Group.

Thorough and well prepared

Very grateful to Courtney and her firm. I believe that we won our case because she was thorough and well prepared at each step. She looked at each possibility from multiple angles in preparation for our trial. Above all, she was courteous and caring, providing astute legal guidance during an anxious ...time for me and my family.

Courtney is a professional and trustworthy attorney. She is sensitive to expenses, responsive and reachable. She was knowledgeable regarding the law and the practicalities of the process and the court. I'm thankful that she represented me.

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.
