This man only wants your money

I used Curtis for my child support and custody case for my son. I filed for child support for my son so his father got angry and attempted to retaliate by trying to get joint custody. I explained to Curtis many times that the son father does not pay child support and won't until he is court ordered ...to do so. Curtis lied to me and advised that I would receive more money for child support if we did not go through state for child support. I hesitated because this should be a basic formula to calculate what support should be. I ended up listening to his because he is suppose to have his clients best interests at heart. We ended up having a parenting agreement that included child support. My ex still wasn't paying. I told the receptionist Misty (his wife) and Curtis that I was not receiving any payments for child support. They did nothing about it. I ended up having to refile through the state to get the support enforced by the state. Within three months of filing my ex owe $775 in support. If you are needing help with child support do not use this lawyer. The child support office will help you for free!

Best Counselor in Hamilton County.

Curtis Bowe cleaned up a mess another attorney created and he did it with formidable style and unpretentious grace. The form of communication the firm utilizes is at its best very exceptional. With the mycase system I received prompt attention to my concerns and questions. The firm made me feel comfo...rtable during a stressful time but also confident that I had the best support and advisor on my side. The most important thing is, Curtis gave me back my smile when I thought I had nothing to ever smile about again. For that I am eternally grateful to Curtis & Mitzi! Thank you!!

Attorney Review

Mr. Bowe and his staff was very quick with responses and handled my business very professionally. I was pleased with the outcome.

Excellent work!

My case is currently ongoing, and Mr. Bowe is doing an outstanding job. He keeps me informed about everything pertaining to the case, and answers any and all of my questions in a very timely manner. I would recommend his services to everyone in need of legal counsel.

General practice lawyer | Aug 02

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Curtis is that rarest of endangered species, the general practice lawyer. As a result, he 'gets' the law at a better level than 95% of other attorneys and he's battle-tested on many fronts. He channels his passion for justice into fighting for his clients, so he's not merely collecting a paycheck. Glad I don't have to go against him in court."
