Past client

Adrian is very inexperienced. He failed to deliver. Hiring him is akin to gambling. Why gamble with him when you can find someone better? Lawyers are a dime a dozen. Good lawyers are not. Hire someone who has more experience. But if you want to save a buck and get a lesser result, or if you have a mi...nor case that will not affect your life? This is your guy. He is like the Ross or Marshall’s of lawyers with Nordstrom rates.

Replied last July 21, 2020

We are always happy to get specific feedback from our clients about how we've done. Unfortunately this anonymous post does not inform us of any specific issue, case, or client. This review is unlike any communication that we've received from our confirmed clients. The experience of our trial attorneys is largely of public record, and those records and results are something we're quite pleased to stand behind.

Earned My Trust!

When I think that I may have a legal issue, Adrian Bower is my first call. I count on him to provide keen advice and draft important documents for my business and personal matters. The consistent quality and value keep me coming back. The trust he’s earned is why I recommend him to family and frien...ds.

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.
