Smart, Skillful, Gets Results. I most highly recommend Kristie L. Bowerman, ESQ.

Ms. Bowerman was recommended to me a couple of years ago and I am so glad I reached out to her! My immigration case was very complicated and she sorted everything through. Her office consistently communicated with me throughout the process and Ms. Bowerman answered all my questions, every step of t...he way. I am very happy to say that I was approved for my green card, thanks to Ms. Kristie Bowerman!

Outstanding Personality

Madam Bowerman is a true gem of a person. Sometimes in life if you're lucky you happen to stumble into the exact right person, in this case it was Madam Bowerman we ran into, after receiving multiple RFE's that started to frustrate us. As soon as you step into her office, you are received with warmth... and understanding. She handled our case very swiftly and in an excellent manner in which resulted to being resolved in a very short time. Kristie L Bowerman is not only an excellent attorney but also a wonderful personality which we were very happy to meet. We are grateful to her and would more then be happy to recommend for her exceptional work.

We should have hired Kristie first

Our company hired Kristie several years ago after another attorney told us we didn’t have any options to keep some of our foreign employees. We were panicked and thought we we going to lose some of our best people. We met with a couple of other attorneys who were rude and talked down to us. Then a fr...iend who had hired Kristie previously recommended her to us and we met with her. During our consultation we knew right away that we would hire her. She was friendly, easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable. Since that time we have only done immigration work with Kristie. We have had many successful outcomes and will continue to work with her.

Tenacious commitment to her clients.

Kristie Bowerman has been very helpful and wonderful throughout our process of obtaining a Green Card through Marriage, and she is now working on our case to obtain Citizenship. Her attention to details, knowledge about the immigration matters and timely responses are always of great help, especially... when this process itself is gruesome. My husband and I greatly appreciate Kristie's assistance throughout the process. She's attentive, dedicated and will treat your case or problem as her own. Kristie and her wonderful staff are always available via email or phone and all your questions will be answered in details. Anyone out here looking for the best Immigration Lawyer, look no further and contact Kristie Bowerman. Thank you Kristie for all your hard work and may God bless you.

Helpful and professional

My husband and I hired Kristie to handle my adjustment of status case. Right away, Kristie helped us gather everything we needed to file, prepared our forms, and submitted everything. She was always prompt in giving us notification about correspondence from USCIS. We encountered a slight delay due... to postponing the final marriage interview -- Kristie was unable to make the original date we had been assigned by USCIS, so we filed to reschedule. During that period, the results from my medical exam expired (apparently that's a thing), and we were informed by the USCIS officer at our interview that while he was satisfied that our marriage was in good faith, I had to undergo another medical exam. Kristie recognised that this was not our fault, and covered the cost of the second examination _in full_. I am completely satisfied with Kristie's handling of our case, and would recommend her to anyone seeking an adjustment of status.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
