Dwi

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

She's the best!

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.

Thank you Barbara,

Barbara helped me win my first citation ever. It was a DUI and I was pretty embarrassed and afraid. By the time it was all overwith, my charges were dropped to wreckless driving with no loss of driving privileges. Barbara and her staff were knowledgeable and friendly. I have no regrets in their repre...sentation of my rights and the manner in which my case was resolved. I recommend Barbara Bowden as the best DUI attorney in the area. Respectfully PKM

Barbara knows law and stands up for you

I fired two lawyers before I found barbara and Im glad I did. The only thing that I did'nt like was how long the case dragged on for but that was not her fault. I was charged with Two Dui's in one night, so I needed the best representation out there. Barbara is not intimidated by anyone. She tried ev...ery motion and looked into every nook and cranny to find a way to save me from going to Jail. Anyhow the result was as good as it could be, Not only did I not go to Jail but she managed to get me defferred prosecution on both cases, very unheard of but it does happen rarely. Then while serving out my sentence she also got the court to drop my mandatory AA meetings which was very difficult to do seeing how the judge didnt want to do it because the treatment program didnt want to sign off on it. But she did it! with lots of creative terminology.Soo if you find yourself in a similiar predictiment then I strongly suggest that you seriously consider hiring Barbara to come to your rescue. Thanks again Barbara. One last thing..She charges you a very fair rate and sometimes she wouldnt charge me at all, she would say something like" this ones on me" I love this lady. Shes got your back and she loves doing it.

Barbara Bowden fights hard for her clients

I was ticketed by a police officer in Lakewood, WA for running a red light. I decided to fight this ticket and took it to Barbara. Barbara took my case as she was very confident that we could win in court. 4 court dates and almost a year later, Barbara was able to go around the prosecutor and got ...the court to reduce my ticket to a non-moving violation. I never had to show up in court because Barbara always sent one of her representatives. She kept my driving record clean and my car insurance will not be affected. Barbara fights hard for her clients and I highly recommend her services.
