World Class Service

I truly could not have been happier with how my case was handled. Coming into this scenario, I was apprehensive and not too knowledgeable, but Susan was so kind, unassuming and took time to educate me. I’ve never felt more at ease with Bowden Cyr. Everything was wrapped up within 18 months, just as S...usan expected it to be. The high standard of service in how my case was handled is truly amazing. I cannot express my gratitude enough to Susan and I thank her for representing me. Her knowledge, experience and guidance has been remarkable and above all, she really cares about her clients. The thought of going to an attorney to seek help was initially intimidating to me, but Susan was unassuming and took the time to explain every step of the way and kept my best interests at heart. I was at ease and felt like I could focus on my life instead of being burdened in dealing with the aftermath of an automobile accident. Bowden Cyr will always be the first and only name I will recommend for any legal needs.

Personal injury lawyer | Apr 30

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Ms. Bowden for more than sixteen (16) years as we attended law school together. Since that time, I have referred Ms. Bowden several cases and have always found her work to be extremely competent and professional. Most importantly, she is always responsive to the client's questions and is also very aware of the practical considerations faced by all clients. During a tough period, all clients need to know that they are protected and that their attorney is vigorously advocating for their interests. Susan exceeds these expectations. I highly recommend Susan for all personal injury cases."

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.
