Barbara is a great DUI lawyer. She made a DUI and traffic violations disappear like magic! She also won the DOL hearing for us. My family and I are very grateful for all the hard work that Barbara and her staff did to make a nerve racking experience bearable. Court can be scary and confusing and Barb...ara handled it for us like a pro! I recommend Barbara for anyone that gets a DUI. She is an exceptional attorney.

Barbara did an excellent job of handling my DUI arrest. My DUI was reduced to a Negligent in the first Degree. She was very caring and always on top of what was going on. She kept me informed and her paralegals were always there to answer my questions. I was very impressed with her knowledge and... her professional attitude. She was respectful and helped through a very tough time in my life. Thank you Barbara!

Barbara and her team did an excellent job representing me and handling my case. I am very happy and satisfied with the outcome. Barbara definitely knows what she is doing she got out of something that definitely would have came out a lot worse without her helpshe definitely is the best in the county... for DUI/DWI cases. I am very thankful for her time not only is her firm honest and dependable but also reasonably priced. Her team are definitely not Nickle and dimers but honest hard working individuals . Barbara was definitely worth hiring

A few people had referred me to Barbara since they had good results with her in the past. I also heard that Barbara was a pit bull when it came to DUI's. It was the first time I had ever gotten in trouble and decide to hire thinking I would be in good hands. I was wrong. First court date she was an... half and hour late. She didn't even talk with me before I went in front of the judge. The public defender talked with me more than she did. 2nd court date, she pleaded me out to reckless. Didn't discuss it with me, had the paperwork signed. I did agree to it, but what else was I to do when she had already told me that this is THE ONLY thing I could get. She also had 3 other clients, the same time and day, same courtroom so she barely had time to spend talking. She also left us with her associate since she had another client in the courtroom next to mine that she had to take care of. DOL WAS A JOKE. First time I met with her she stated she would take pictures of where I got pulled over, she wanted me to highlight the police report and put what I felt happen. I ENDED UP TAKING THE PICTURES, TRYING TO CONTACT MY WITNESS because she did not contacted the witness until the day before the hearing, and she didn't even read what I had highlighted. She was on her FACEBOOK during the DOL hearing and yawning the whole time while talking with the attorney general. She even forgot that she had pleaded me out a week ago to reckless. I end up losing and received a blower for a year even though I had blown 2 times for the officer. I now have to finish paying Barbara for a job she didn't do. NEVER GO TO HER! She is overbooked and doesn't care about you or what the end result is. I also let the people who referred her to me and anyone I come across know had bad she was and not only myself, but the people who now know will never refer her again.

After more than a year being dragged through the system by a so-called "top-rated" DUI attorney in Tacoma I was facing the worse possible penalties for the DUI infraction. Stating that there was nothing else he could do for me because the city attorney would not negotiate on my case I felt hopeless.... One month before I was to be sentenced I fired my attorney and hired Barbara Bowden. She not only negotiated for a lesser charge but did this at my pre-trial hearing. Barbara is a focused professional that truly is an advocate for her clients.
