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!

One of the best DUI laywer's in the State

Barbara represented me an a recent DUI case in King County. My DUI was reduced to a Neg 1 and the DOL hearing case was thrown out, no Interlock and no loss of license. I believe Barbara cares about her clients and works very hard on each case. She is a straight shooter that will tell you how it is ...and what chances you may have. When talking with her she made me feel at ease , it was more like talking to a friend than a lawyer. She is very good at what she does and knows all the right people's in the right places. If you are seeking a attorney look no further Barbra Bowden is the real deal..

Best Thing that ever happened

I was raising my two kids by myself and occasionally went out and drank with co-workers. On more than one occasion in less than two months I had gotten two DUI's. The first she knocked off, and the second got dropped to a lesser charge. Was required to attend some classes and a couple of other things.... I finished and after that second one I quit drinking. Because I love my Job and if I ever loose my CDL i would be unemployed. Thank you Barbara you have been a great attorney. Be blessed...

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
