Review David Bowling

Superior Lawyer

Posted by

We recently hired David to obtain assistance with an issue that ended up requiring the need to file for a remedy in the Federal Court System. David and his firm were open minded as to how we wanted to proceed, listened and responded when we made suggestions, and quickly prepared the documentation for us to review and submit to the Court to accomplish our goals. This approach was refreshing and resulted in a very swift and positive outcome.

Experienced and skillful

Mr. Bowling capably handled a case on my behalf in an efficient and well organized manner . As well, at every stage in the process, I was informed of our progress and what to expect. In the end, Mr. Bowling produced a positive outcome for me with a minimum amount of intrusion on my time.

Great lawyer, very well prepared for his cases. Knowledgeable on the case at hand, your best chance at winning a case. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone I know.

A Superlatively Good Lawyer's Lawyer

I am an attorney who has referred medical malpractice, maritime death and injury, and other casualty cases to David A. Bowling on a fee-division basis. I would refer such cases to no other attorney but him. His handling of those cases has been not only industrious and ingenious, finding ways to establish liability and to maximize recovery where doing so has been severely problematical, but has bordered on the miraculous, for at times I have been shocked at the magnitude of the successful results he has achieved. If all lawyers were as competent and honest workmen as is David A. Bowling, the profession would enjoy a much better reputation than it now has among the laity.
