Custody Case
I retained Justin at the final hour of my custody/relocation battle with my Ex husband. He was very clear, honest and upfront about what I needed to do. I felt like he listed well and cared and truly fought for me. He came through in a pinch and I am so happy with the outcome. Thank you for truly...

The right man for the job!
I hired Mr. Bowen to represent me in a restraining order hearing that occurred between myself and the mother of my 3 year old daughter. Mr Bowen sounded very confident and was very knowledgeable of the law when speaking with him in the consultation. He didn't sugar coat things for me, and made me aw...

Extremely Pleased
I have retained Bowen & Associates for the past 2 years while fighting for custody of my child. I have worked with Katie and Justin and have been extremely pleased with both of them. Being a father trying to get custody of your child is an extremely difficult process and they were both very patient i...

Worst I've ever known.
I hired Bowen for what he agreed should be an open and shut case. Seems the only thing he shut was his efforts. The night before our court date was the first time he got back to me about the case. It stayed that way the entire time with poor communication. The day of court he had me sign a "temporary...
Hi there, This appears to be a mistake and likely placed on the incorrect profile. Being friends with the only 2 'Christophers' I have ever represented, I called the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission and spoke with Alexis (317) 232-1807, and there are no past or current discipline actions against me. Nonetheless, if you feel this post is not a mistake, please call my office immediately to discuss your concerns. While I don't have any immediate recollection of the events as you have described them here, and the things you state seem to be very out of the ordinary based on the multiple other reviews and ratings, I am still interested in hearing from you directly to address any of your concerns. I apologize for not being able to call you directly, but avvo.com would not give me any of your information when I requested it. Please call my office at (317) 848-5353, or email me directly at [email protected]. Also, you are still free to file a complaint with the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission, there is no statute of limitations on your right to do that. I look forward to speaking with you and hopefully getting this cleared up. Thank you. Justin Bowen www.bowentriallawyers.com

Light at the end of the tunnel
The Bowen Law Firm was a tremendous help during the difficult period my children and I endured during my divorce. Justin Bowen helped to navigate and shine a light through the murky waters of the divorce process. His staff was competent, efficient, and above all treated my family with dignity and res...
"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."
"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 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."
