Competent & Caring Attorney

I have used Barbara for various speeding tickets over the last couple of years and on all of them, she got them to go away. Most recently, I had a very bad run in with the law and she literally saved my character, employment opportunities and worked with me on the legal fees. She is a compassionate... attorney - which is rare!

Babara Bowden is highly recommended!!

I interviewed 6-8 attorneys to represent me in a difficult case. It was critical for me to prevail in my upcoming DOL hearing because I have a job dependent CDL. Again and again Barbara Bowdens name came up as someone I should interview. I met Barbara in her office and was ultimately impressed enough... with her knowledge, industry relationships and optimistic, but no-bull mannerism to hire her. It turned out to be the best decision I could have made. Barbara did not make any promises, but she showed me some very impressive stats. of client case results. When we went to court it was also clear that she was very well known and liked by the Judges and the prosecutors. Everyone seem to know her including court staff. This put me at ease during both court appearances. It was obvious Barbara had the respect of the court coupled with a considerable amount of knowledge and experience in this specialized field.This resulted in her being able to get a suppresion order which saved my CDL and my job. I plead to a gross misdomeanor and am extremely grateful to Barbara and her staff for their patience with me during this situation. Barbara Bowden is a gem and I am blessed to have hired her. Thank you again Barbara Bowden.

Barbara Bowden is a Top Notch No Nonsense Attorney

Barbara represented me an a recent DUI case here in Pierce County. I had a very high BAC reading and a prior DUI related conviction. Barbara came highly recommended from a friend that used her in a previous DUI case. When I met her for my initial consultation I was totally impressed. She is a no-...nonsense lawyer that tells it like it is. It was so refreshing not to hear the usual recited speeches I have heard from previous attorneys. From that initial meeting through the successful outcome (Negligent Driving), her and her staff did not disappoint. She was able to negotiate the reduced charge & suppress the high BAC reading which allowed me to keep my license & stay out of jail. If you are looking for a no-nonsense attorney that knows the law, how to navigate the legal system and is ready to fight for your rights, I would highly recommend her. Ken

Barbara Bowden

My name is Trevor Rolfe. I live in Covington, WA, and have known Barbara since my unfortunate court begginings. She has done nothing less than secure me a future. She has worked multiple driving while suspended cases for me, multiple minor in possesions, multiple speeding tickets, ect. She is without... a doubt the best lawyer in the greater king county area. She cares, if you care, about your situation.. For those reviews above me that talk of her inadept "worker bee's", I reply with this, Barbara is a very busy woman. This is because she is the best. When it actually matters, she will be there, and she will do everything she can to help you. I have recommended her to multiple multiple friends who have used her in everything from DUI cases to Assualts. Not a single one has complained. Get smart. Pick Barbara.

SIMPLY THE BEST

I used Barbara for a DUI case for a refusal. She did her due dilligence, studied the police reports, and then decided to take it to a jury trial. She was AMAZING... 1 plus years later the jury came back with a NOT GUILTY verdict. Barbara Bowden saved my life, my family and my job... She knows her stu...ff and has the staff to back her in a crunch.
