If I could give zero stars I would

Gave him a mountain of evidence. Used 2 pieces. Was completely unprepared for court. Never honored a single word including calling me to discuss case, etc. Take your money and hire someone who will actually work for you. I could have argued this case WAY better than his piss poor attempt and saved my... money! Worthless. Absolutely worthless. To make matters worse was the fact I hired another attorney at the firm and got dumped to this guy. Seriously, save your money and hire a reputable attorney!!!

Do Not Hire This Man

Do not hire this man as your attorney. I hired him to represent me in a case. As a paying customer I expected him to ask me questions about my case, he didn't ask a single one. I gave him a mountain of evidence, none of which he reviewed in 4 months time. He seemed to think he knew everything without... ever communicating with me or asking me anything about my case. My last straw was when he threw a temper tantrum in the middle of a courthouse. I've never seen anything like it. He rarely responded to my phone calls or emails, but I would receive 3 phone calls from his office within 5 minutes of each other. One time I called him back he said he was too busy and to call tomorrow. He made lots of promises initially about how he was going to represent me and handle the case, none were true. I believe he mainly handles speeding tickets and from my experience that seems to be about all he's capable of handling. On the times I did receive a letter from his office I found them to be extremely rude in nature. As a paying customer I basically pay his salary so you would think he'd take the time to at least talk to his client before making decisions in a case and he did not. We had several court appearances where it was obvious he had not reviewed anything prior to showing up. He would ream me out for questioning why I needed to take off work to be there if he was going to continue it anyway. He also revealed information that he should not have. *Update 10/15: I ended my services with Mr. Bowers in July, he was to refund fees owed to me and as of date has not. He had the nerve to try to get me to sign an agreement that I wouldn't post any reviews of his services. He spent more time after I fired him arguing with me than he ever did representing me. I found out from my new attorney that Mr. Bowers had not even opened some of the evidence he was given.

Would definitely recommend

I have hired Mr Bowers twice to take care of speeding tickets for my son. He does a great job. Would definitely recommend.

Speeding Client

Chris is a very honest and experienced attorney. He thoroughly explained all possible outcomes of the case and walked me through each step. I will continue to use him in the future and highly recommend him.
