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 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. ,

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.

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.

Best over

I have used Barb for 9 years now. She has won multiple DUI arrests, Drug Possesion Charges, Speeding tickets, Reckless Driving tickets to my satisfactory, along with an assault case that she normally wouldn't have taken on. I have referred her to many people who have been very happy with her outcome... and professionalism. Her and her staff are the best around and are very understanding people.
