Outstanding DUI attorney!

I was facing 4 DUI's and had hired an attorney but wasn't getting the results I wanted so I went to a Saturday morning appointment and met Barbara. My girlfriend and I liked her immediately. She was down to earth and honest with us and also made us feel more at ease than we had felt in a long time! ...We had multiple court dates and either she or a representative were always there to take care of everything. Once it was even settled prior to us getting there. When I was unexpectedly put in jail she loaned us some of the retainer money to bail me out. It is pleasant working with someone under these circumstances that is a very caring down to earth person. The office staff was always helpful for our many questions too! She always told me what she thought was going to happen and was always right on the money! I have and will continue to refer every one I know or meet under similar circumstances to the law offices of Barbra Bowden!! Barbra changed and saved my life!

Barbara had my case dismissed when I was wrongly accused

Barbara, with the help of attorney Steve Crawford, got my DUI and speeding ticket dismissed. Both attorneys presented the lack of evidence and the case was dismissed at arraignment. In these cases attorneys like Barbara and Steve are necessary in our complicated law system.

DUI

Got my first DUI and was very stressed. My friend referred me to Barbara, and very glad I went to her. She assured me everything would be ok. Not something you want to go through but everything went very smoothly. I blew .166 and she got it dropped to a Neg 1, I also won my DOL hearing, so no int...erlock device. Was very pleased with my outcome.

Barbara Bowden is the BEST!!!

Barbara Bowden did an unbelievable job for me on my DUI case. This was my first incident and my BAC was above 0.20. Barbara explained the situation with professionalism and compassion. She explained the potential outcomes of the case, for both the criminal and civil (Department of Licensing) porti...ons. She then proceeded to explain issues regarding my case that could result in significant reduction in charges. Together, we put together a schedule of events for me to complete prior to the criminal proceedings. We emailed regularly and Barbara responded within 24 hours to my questions or concerns. Needless to say, Barbara and her staff were able to get my criminal charges reduced to neglient driving. On the civil side, she was able to get the entire case dismissed due to the police not have due cause to pull me over. Barbara was referrred to me by one of my friends in the King County Sheriff's department. It turns out that Barbara and her staff represent many law enforcement officers for supected DUI, most with favorable results. My case definitely turned out favorable. If you need a lawyer for suspected DUI, Barbara Bowden and her staff should be on the top of your list. If law enforcement officiers use her, you should too. I am glad I did. Thanks Barbara!! I spoke with 3 different law firms for my representation. Barbars's fees were not the lowest, but also not the highest. They were within $200 of the lowest and less than $800 below the highest. I would have paid double if Barbara could have promised me that the outcome of my case would be so positive. ,

The Best By Far!

Last July I was pulled over by the WSP because I was not wearing a helmut. One thing led to another and I was arrested and taken to jail because the officer suspected that I had been drinking. This was my second arrest in seven years for DUI. I was positive that I would lose my job, my drivers lice...nse, and then spend months in jail. As it turnd out, Ms. Bowden saved my life! I don't know how she did it, but she worked out a deal with the DOL, and I did not lose my license. And I did not go to jail!! Ms. Bowden is absolutely the very best attorney for DUI that money can buy!
