I had the unique opportunity to live in Sydney, Australia, for several years where I met my wife, took classes at Macquarie University pursuing a Post Graduate Diploma in Accounting, worked at the loading dock for Target at the Macquarie Center, surfed, and played soccer. My wife and I moved to Memphis where I attended law school. When I graduated, I obtained a job with a large law firm, where I practiced law for two years. I then had the chance to go into practice with my father. Our law firm became Fowler & Fowler, PLLC in 2005. Since 2005, we have been building our firm through technology and doing something we love--helping people solve problems.

Joshua Hoeppner, Litigation Attorney on Mar 12, 2020
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I had the pleasure of working with Arthur in a recent property dispute. It was a tedious case with parties who did not like each other; nonetheless, through Arthur's professionalism (while still aggressively pursuing his client's interests), we were able to resolve the matter in a beneficial way for the parties. I heartily endorse Mr. Fowler.
Rodney Rowlett, Litigation Attorney on Oct 12, 2017
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Art is a very competent and hardworking attorney who zealously represents his clients. At the same time he is professional and courteous towards opposing counsel. I have always found Art to be very pleasant to work with even when he is on the other side.
