Best lawyer ever

13 years ago my daughter three children were taken because of false accusations of sexual abuse by the children paternal family. Mr. Bowen went in a proved nothing happened and won the case.

Dissolution made almost painless

Mr. Bowen made our case relatively painless. He let us know what to expect, answered all our questions, and was easy to get along with (which helped my ex and I get along a bit better through the process.)

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
