I have known Tony for a number of years. We served together on active duty in the US Air Force JAG Corps. Tony was a student of mine at one point and ultimately opposing counsel. He is a very sharp attorney and a standout amongst his peers. I highly recommend Tony!

Top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community.
Riley Fenner, Litigation Attorney on Jun 14, 2014
Relationship: Co-worker
I endorse Mr. Mowry as a highly competent and conscientious attorney in all areas of his practice. He and I worked together as staff attorneys at the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, and I know him to be an intelligent, motivated, and reliable colleague. I have no doubt that he will put the same skill and dedication to work for his clients in private practice.
Stephen Braunlich, Litigation Attorney on Jun 13, 2014
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I tried several cases against Tony Mowry and would definitely rank him among the most effective litigators I have faced. He consistently showed a great understanding of the facts, conducted thorough investigations, and convincingly argued the case before both judges and juries. In one case, he successfully anticipated the arguments that would later be used by our court of appeal. In sum, I would highly recommend him for any courtroom activity.

He is a dedicated lawyer who achieves great results for his clients.

Tony has served thousands of clients from just about every state needing assistance with estate planning. Regardless of the size of the estate or the complexity of the legal work requested, I have complete confidence Tony will take the time and effort necessary to treat your case with the utmost of care.

I endorse this lawyer. I met Tony this summer when he was separating from the Air Force and beginning to practice in Florida. He struck me as an experienced attorney with a keen intellect and a compassionate character. I would be confident referring clients to Tony.
