Linda Callahan, DUI and DWI Attorney on Dec 2, 2009
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Barbara Bowden is a lawyer who knows DUI law like the back of her hand, who really cares about her clients, and who never shies away from a fight. She doesn't need to advertise--client referrals keep her in high demand--yet she keeps her fees affordable. Barbara is probably the busiest attorney I know--working every weekend and taking emergency calls in the wee hours. Because we often consult with each other on cases, I can personally vouch for how deeply she cares about her clients and how hard she works for them. Like many busy lawyers, she sometimes has others cover non-essential hearings when her presence is required elsewhere for trial or legal arguments. This is not unusual for a busy lawyer. If you have a licensing problem, she can probably fix it. She knows more about DOL and how to work that bureaucracy than any other lawyer I know. I endorse Barbara Bowden as a highly effective, caring and aggressive attorney.
Sharon Chirichillo, DUI and DWI Attorney on Nov 10, 2009
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
When I was a deputy prosecuting attorney, Ms. Bowden was one of the FEW attorneys who fought tenaciously for her clients. She would bring motions, raise issues, always seeking new area to advance her client's case. She fights for her clients and does not sell them out. She is one of the FEW criminal defense attorneys who work primarily in DUI that I respected because she got her job done. Her clients come first. At the time when I was a deputy prosecutor, I welcomed her collegial advocacy. She is smart, dedicated and has a keen humor that puts people at ease. Without any doubt I unequivocally endorse Ms. Bowden's work and her commitment to her clients. I am confident that people who are accused of DUI are in exceptional trust with Ms. Bowden. Her phone number is on my speed dial, she should be on yours.

Her results for her clients speak for themselves. She has built a thriving practice which can be attributed to her tireless work ethic on behalf of her many clients. She has served as an excellent mentor and I look forward to learning from her for years to come. I endorse this lawyer!

I endorse this lawyer. I have seen Ms. Bowden in Court many times both in preliminary matters and trials for DUI. She is the most tenacious advocate for her clients and always gives them the best chance for relief. She is wonderful with client relationships as well as the in Court appearances. If there is a rating based on 0-10 with 10 being the highest she will merit a 10 every single time she agrees to represent a client.

there is no other lawyer in Pierce County I would refer a client to for a DUI. Barb's ability to work with the DOL regardingadministrative suspensions of client's license is second to none.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer
Barbara is one of the most amazing lawyers I have ever had the amazing opportunity to work for. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable about DUI defense, but her staff is by far one of the best groups of people and they really take care of her clients. Barbara is frequently asked by Judges and other institutions to give talks about DUI defense because of all her experience. If you get a DUI in the Tacoma area you should give her a call.
