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 est...ablish 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.

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.
