Excellent

I hired Ms. Bowman for a police case. She actually listens to you and will do everything humanly possible to get you what you deserve. Most attorneys I spoke with brushed me off, spoke over me, and used a condescending tone. Not her. She will treat you like a human. Not only that, she is excellent at... writing, speaking, and innovative strategy. It felt like the police attorneys were trying to wear her down with excessive work but she never seemed to tire and instead gave it right back. She is very accomplished and always professional and polished. It was a pleasure to work with her.

My lawyer is better than your lawyer

I met Peyton while riding motorcycles funny enough. You don't see a lot of attorneys on a bike. Peyton helped me change my name and gender marker on my ID and birth certificate. She is very knowledgeable about LGBTQ laws and fights for the LGBT community. I tried to start the process on my own but it... became clear early on I was in over my head. I lost a lot of sleep because I didn't feel validated and I felt like the process was stacked against me. Truly I could not have done this without her. I feel totally at peace that my identity is legally recognized and it's all because of her hard work. Going into an attorneys office and seeing trans rights art on the wall was super cool in a way I can't describe. Knowing she had my back and will always have my back moving forward is everything!

A blessing!

I needed help when the police were harassing me due to my race and falsely arrested me. She explained everything to me very well and fought for me to get justice. My attorney actually listened to me and believed in me. Had them at every turn. Very blessed to have crossed paths and wouldn't be where I... am without her. The courts sysem took a long time but my family is happy.

Very helpful

I called a bunch of law firms to get advice about my case and miss Peyton was the only lawyer to help me. She talked to me for a long time about what I needed to do and gave me good advice for free.
