Great divorce attorney

Mr. Bowyer handled my oakland county divorce case. My case involved custody disputes as well as many problems with my now ex wife regarding debts and hiding assets. Mr. Bowyer did an excellent job and got me great results.

Posted by Jon | October 31, 2012 | Child Custody

Job well done

I recently retained Mr. Bowyer to represent me with regard to my child custody/support issues. This is the second time I have retained his law firm. With that said, I obviously had every confidence in his ability to represent me and handle the problems at hand. I was extremely pleased with Mr. Bow...yer and his knowledge and tactics. They proved to be invaluable to my case. Too often we forget to compliment people on "jobs well done." In addition, I would also like to express my gratitude to his assistant, LaJean. Her professionalism and helpfulness made a difficult situation so much easier to bear. She never hesitated to take a phone call from me, answer my questions, and if she was unable to assist at the time, she promptly called me back with an answer. LaJean is a wonderful link to Mr. Bowyer. Not only will I retain Mr. Bowyer again if need be in the future, I will hope that LaJean is sitll his assistant to help things move smoothly.

Great divorce attorney

He worked in my best interests and in the interests of my three children in my divorce case. His knowledge and courtroom expertise were greatly appreciated. Mr. Bowyer and ADAM were able to protect my interests in my Washtenaw county divorce and I recommend them both.

Trust and Knowledge

Brent handled my divorce with my best interests always at the forefront. He is a man that is very knowledgeable and cares about each of his clients he represents. His firm has always kept me informed during the entire process and has handled several court cases for me since the initial proceedings. I... would highly recommend Brent and his firm to any of my friends and family. My life would not be the same without his help.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Oct 20

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Over the past 10 years, I've referred dozens of men to Mr. Bowyer for consultation or representation in divorce and family law cases. He is not “just another divorce attorney.” Brent Bowyer has a passion for helping men through the most difficult time life has to offer…a breakup of the family. I’ve found that when other lawyers have told their clients that they are going to lose an argument in court or that everything is going downhill in a case, Brent has been able to take over their representation and get results the other lawyers thought were impossible. Quite simply, he has the passion, fight, intelligence and effectiveness that other lawyers who represent men in family law cases just don’t have. Any man who is represented by Brent Bowyer is very fortunate to have one of the top lawyers in Michigan on his side."

  • 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.
