A Concerned Mom

As a Mom with a child in trouble and thinks he can do it on his own needa help resolving legal issues. The court system can sure run you around especially when you have no clue of your rights. I had wished we had retained Barbara Bowden to begin with and would had saved alot of time, money and hearta...che.

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. ,

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!

Huge Mistake

I don't even know where to begin, I first hired Barb Bowden for my first DUI, she didn't show up to court, NEVER returned my call's and hustled me for my money. I then made the mistake of hiring her again for a diffrent matter and I only hired her because I was still on prob. for my Dui. Again NEVER ...returned my call's she NEVER showed up to court. It was some idiot who didn't even know about my case. DO NOT! Make the same mistake I did. She charged me 3grand and it was a big waste of money and she is all about money and getting as many clients as possible! Please take my advise people and find a REAL attorney.

doesn't work very hard

I had one experience with Ms. Bowden . She did nothing for me except attend hearings and tell me to make a deal. That despite the fact that other lawyers for other defendants in the same court were challenging all kinds of issues, May as well have plead guilty and saved the money
