From there, Peyton was accepted into Loyola University College of Law’s civil law division and graduated with her Juris Doctorate in May 2019. While in law school, Peyton participated in the Community Outreach Committee, Moot Court, and the Community Justice Law Clinic.

Peyton is also passionate about helping those members of the LGBTQ+ community with legally changing their names or gender markers. Today, Peyton’s practice is largely comprised of civil rights cases – police brutality, racial discrimination, gender discrimination, false arrests, and illegal searches and seizures, but she also has extensive experience in medical malpractice, corporate law, insurance disputes, and personal injury.
An expert in conducting focus groups for jury research, Peyton also conducts focus groups for her own firm and for firms across the country to better understand the unique and complex needs of each case before they go to trial.

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...
"Peyton has worked for me for about eight years. She is incredibly bright and constantly inspires myself and other attorneys with her insight and strategy."
"I endorse Peyton Bowman. I have worked with Peyton on several cases involving police brutality, dog bites, and discrimination based on gender and race. She brings a unique perspective to every case she handles, and her diligent research and writing skills are unparalleled. Her competitive spirit serves her well in both her pleadings and in the courtroom. Peyton's ability to effectively argue cases in open court gives her an advantage, as she is not afraid to go to trail for her clients."
