Atty Mowry was extremely knowledgeable and professional in his dealings with me. He proposed sound strategies about the trusts that he arranged for me. He took time to explain a number of complex issues. I am very happy that I hired Atty Mowry.

Best in the Business

Posted by

My father chose me several years ago to be his power of attorney. Unfortunately, back in September of 2018 my Dad suffered three Strokes and needed my help . To my disbelief... three of my sisters just could not accept the situation and filed in the county of Sarasota to have a guardian appointed which would mean that if the guardian was appointed it would dissolve my power of attorney... I was being accused of stealing my father's money, doing a poor job taking care of my father and any other thing a sister can say about their brother due to jealousy. Their only goal was to destroy my credibility and the wonderful relationship I had with my father my entire life. After several discussions with Mr. Mowry...he put together a spectacular strategy that caused the other side to cave and withdraw the case... simply said ...the real truth prevailed and Mr Mowry deserves all the credit.... I want to thank you personally guiding me along step-by-step assuring that I followed the law... the truth and most importantly what was best for my father. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr Mowry to handle all of your" Probate, Wills and living wills and trusts. The price was reasonable.. his time was handled efficiently and bottom line I came out Victorious for my father. Again, I want to thank you so much.... Mr. Mowry is a winner!

Tony Mowry, an excellent lawyer

Posted by

Tony is a very professional, knowledgable, and personable lawyer. I was made comfortable in an unknown area to me : that of Wills, Power of Attorney, and the Advance Health Care Directive. I feel assured that I now have in place a good plan. Questions that the rest of the family had were answered by way of a conference call. And the satisfaction that everyone understands what I want, and now have, is so comforting to me. I highly recommend Tony Mowry.

GREAT LAWYER IN A GREAT LAW FIRM

Mr. Mowry was very helpful with his knowledge while helping us with our Wills and Power of Attorney forms.. He took a great deal of time and was very patient with my husband and I. He made sure that we understood all of the wording that goes with these forms. We are very pleased with Mr. Mowry and we will recommend him to anyone needing a good attorney.

Attorney Mowry is a skilled and knowledgeable attorney and a staunch advocate. He is attentive and responsive to needs and representation of his clients, while also being courteous and respectful to the rule of law, the system, and those involved, both in alignment and in opposition.

I endorse this lawyer. Tony provides good solid information to AVVO users and demonstrates his knowledge of the practice area

Michael Berens, Elder law Attorney on Aug 28, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

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!

Christian Lassen

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.

Grover Baxley, Wills and living wills Attorney on Apr 25, 2014
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Tony on a case when he was an active duty defense counsel. He was extremely thorough in researching all legal aspects of the case, aggressive in advocating for our client, and genuinely caring about obtaining the best outcome. He is a dedicated lawyer who achieves great results for his clients.

Andrew Cherkasky, Wills and living wills Attorney on Jan 31, 2014
Relationship: Worked together on matter

Tony is an outstanding lawyer -- representing all the qualities you would want in a counselor handling your matter. He is diligent with the law and personable with 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.

Steven Ledbetter, General practice Attorney on Jan 26, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

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.
