Got my hopes up for nothing
I called and consulted with him on the phone. He made me feel so much better about my case and gave me hope that everything would be okay. I called the next day to hire him and pay but was told they aren't taking new client. All my hopes were shattered. My advice is not to get your hopes up with this...

Justin Thane Bowen's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse Justin. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"Justin is well versed in this area of the law, highly respectable, and cares about his clients."
"Justin Bowen is a skilled and knowledgeable family law attorney. He is a hard working and dedicated advocate for his clients. We have been opposing counsel on a couple of cases now. I have found Justin to be honest and straightforward....which is not always easy to come by in the legal community."
"Justin is a very talented and dedicated family law attorney."
"I worked with Justin at our last law firm before we went into business for ourselves. I have practiced law for ten years now. I can count on one hand the number of attorneys I have known who possess the integrity, kindness, loyalty, intelligence, dedication and pure skill that defines Justin Bowen. I am not saying any of this simply to help a friend, I am writing a review out of genuine admiration for an attorney I would call if I ever needed an attorney. No doubt about it - Justin would be my first phone call. In the theoretical and terrible possibility of facing my own divorce and the unthinkable possibility of losing custody of my little girl, Justin is the first and only lawyer I would call and I can't think of anything to say that comes close to rivaling that statement. If you need a divorce lawyer, stop looking, stop reading reviews and just call him. You can thank me later."
"Attorney Bowen works hard for his clients. He has a good reputation in the community and has established a successful practice as a result."
"Justin Bownen is a spectacular family law attorney, with a great reputation for helping his clients. I personally refer complex family law matters to him regularly and have heard nothing but praise for his work ethic and effectiveness."
"Justin is a great guy and a fine, hardworking lawyer who takes care of his clients."
"Justin is an extremely competent and hard-working attorney. I’m confident in Justin’s ability to provide clients with excellent legal assistance."
"Justin Bowen is an excellent lawyer. I would strongly endorse him as a family law attorney, but I know he's very qualified in a number of other legal areas as well. If I refer Justin a case, I never have a doubt that he will do a fantastic job for the client. He is hard working, persuasive, and a great communicator. He always goes the extra mile and truly knows how to advocate for his clients. If I ever needed a lawyer, Justin would be the first and only attorney I would call."
"On both a personal and professional level, I endorse Justin wholeheartedly. I know many lawyers in Indianapolis, and if I had an issue there he is who I would come to with my problem. You'd be well-served using Justin for any legal needs you may have."
"I endorse this lawyer. If I had a client requesting a referral to a competent and hard-working family law attorney, I would not hesitate to recommend counselor Bowen."

"Justin is conscientious and detail oriented. He is a true advocate for his clients, and is not afraid go the extra mile to put a case together."
"I don't do family law. When my clients need help with family law issues, including divorce and child support, I send them to Attorney Justin Bowen. Justin has established himself as the up and coming "go to" guy for Family Law cases in Indianapolis area. My clients that have used him consistently say he professional, prompt and works very hard. I would recommend Attorney Justin Bowen to anyone needing a family lawyer in the State of Indiana."
