Posted by anonymous | August 19, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Un professional, clueless, Does not answer phone calls ,does not show up to court and changes court dates without explaining

I would not recommend this (attorney) He does not communicate with you . At 1st he will answer your phone and then he won't answer your calls. He changes court dates , without telling you why and leaves you clueless . I had to do my own research online and call the court directly, and told me that my... original court date ,he never showed up or no one came to represent me and that it only shows that someone online change your court date . I tried reaching out to him and no answer and just text messages that my court date is changed again again , like why ?? It's just a simple traffic ticket. I had to pay my ticket directly threw court to avoid this frustration and clueless situation. This man is a scam , don't hurt this man or you'll be clueless of your court date situation. Stay away ,move on ,keep looking for different lawyer . (Once you pay ) He won't answer his phone calls (only new numbers!)

Hard working and smart!!!

Patrick Bowers is a great lawyer. I got a speeding ticket on i-5 for going way over the speed limit and would possibly get my license revoked for a year, but Patrick worked really hard to bring the ticket to a minimum fine that i was able to just pay over the phone. He really worked hard on the case ...to get the best outcome possible.

Thankful for Mr. Bowers and his work

Mr. Bowers assured me that he would take care of everything. Let me know to not worry about the case and to just focus on my life. Ended up reducing my charges allowing me to keep my license. ( which was very important for my job). Of you ever need his help just out your trust in him and let him take... care of all the work.. thank you again Patrick!

Reliable and Dependable

I received a speeding ticket on top of a driving on a suspended license. I was looking at a lot of fines and time and somehow Mr. Bowers got it reduced to just fines. I also never had to show up to court and it was all for a reasonable price! I highly recommend him and the firm he works for!! Great ...group there!!

Not an ordinary layer...

Patrick has represented my family for 3 traffic tickets: He has a heart of gold and masterfully negotiated a win-win deal when the police officer refused to budge. If you're honest and have integrity and don't want dishonest suggestions, Patrick is your man!

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.
