VERY INCAPABLE DEFENSE ATTORNY

PAUL H. BOWEN ATTORNEY Just kept taking my money for 3 yrs. or more, approx. 15000.00. without even one court hearing. It was cancelled 4-5 times by Judge. 2- times he did not file paper work on time so, the Judge cancelled. So i had to pay him anyway for nothing. He finally backed out of defense be...cause i would not pay any until we went t court. He said if he lost the case i would not pay him. This man does not care about his clients like all the past reviews. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE; ALL PAST REVIEWS ARE FROM 3-7 yrs ago. No recent ones. P.S. Some reviews say how professional his staff was, he does not have any staff. He is always alone and he rarely returns your calls.

Family Law - Post Dissolution Matter

I hired and worked with Mr. Bowen for two years on my family law case. I had spent years trying to resolve it fully, without success. Paul took to time to sit down with me and go over all possible outcomes. He was easy to reach and was able to get results for me. I felt a tremendous amount of stress ...relief as a result of my case being finally settled. I highly recommend Paul Bowen and his firm. They are extremely professional, kind and understanding.

Professional and Compassionate

I started working with Paul about a year ago, after my previous attorney left family law. I was very stressed about finding a new lawyer in the middle of my divorce, but Paul and his staff made it a very easy and stress-free transition. I am very impressed with his attention to detail and his genui...ne concern for me and my family.

Best attorney

Mr. Bowen represented me in a very lengthy divocre case that wound up in divorce trial . His expert knowledge and experience not only for me exactly what was wanted but also allowed my family to remain whole ! Paul has spent countless hours beyond the normal 9-5 to ensure my every need was met and ne...ver let a phone call nor email go unanswered . He is nothing short of more than what a 5 star rating would allow ! He comes highly recommend and will most definitely give you the best advice possible in your own unique situation ! If you ever find yourself in a situation where you are in need of an attorney in this area , Paul Bowen is highly recommended !

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.
