He was a blessing for our family

A few years ago my son was still in high school and he and a couple friends made a terrible decision. He was facing felony charges and because he was 17 he was facing adult court and looking at 8-10 years in prison. I called Troy on a recommendation and he met with us the next day. My son served 6 mo...nths on house arrest during the trial. He ended up with a juvenile record and upon completion of one year of not getting into any trouble it would be over. Troy cared and fought for him the entire way. Today he is a college graduate and works for a great engineering firm making good money and living a good life. He has completely changed his life and Troy gave him that chance because of his hard work and dedication and honestly caring about his clients. I am so grateful to him. Thank you Troy.

Fantastic Law Firm

Troy Bowlin and his staff were phenomenal during a 2+ year custody battle. He and his staff guided me through the entire process and maintained constant communication. I would HIGHLY recommend Bowlin Law Firm and will continue to utilize this firm for all of my future legal business. Troy represented... me and fought diligently from day 1. Thanks to his and his staff's dedication to my case, we won the extremely difficult battle. Bowlin Law Firm took the stress out of the situation for me.

Changed my life

My name is Angela. A few years ago I was addicted to drugs. My addiction led me to steal and eventually I caught a few criminal charges. Troy Bowlin took my case. I spent time in jail for a little while as my bond was revoked. Troy immediately started working on getting me released and helping me... through the release process. Troy was finally able to get me released to a 45-day rehab facility versus spending more time in jail. The rehab was a wonderful experience on my road to sobriety. Once I left rehab, the court appearances began. Troy was always present and on time. He would even be there early to discuss with me what would probably happen before court began. This was very comforting because when you are facing felony charges, court is very nerve-wracking. Troy was able to get me two years unsupervised probation. Based on the charges I had incurred this was short of a miracle. The two years gave me time to evaluate my life and become clean and sober. After the two years, Troy filed for judicial diversion. Once this was done, I have absolutely no charges on my record today. From where I started to where I ended up is all because of Troy's hard work. I find myself very lucky to have been blessed with this kind of caliber of lawyer. If it wasn't for Troy I would not be starting Nursing School in the fall. My future is bright now and my path is clear. If it was not for Troy I would not be as successful as I am now.
