Hello!  I’m Bonnie Bowles, your neighborhood Personal Family Lawyer®.

My goal is to be your trusted advisor who helps you make the very best personal, financial, and legal decisions for your family throughout your lifetime. I want to help you not just now, but also when you can’t be there so that I can help guide your loved ones through a difficult process.

In short, my sole focus is to help families avoid collapse after the death or disability of a loved one.

My passion for helping families came really from three experiences that shape my practice and how I interact with my clients.

First of all, when I was a litigator I found that hourly billing practically encourages my clients NOT to call me! No one wants that bill in the mail simply because they needed to reach out to me. Now, everything I do is flat fee agreed to in advance. No surprises.

Second, when you don’t plan ahead to determine your own desired outcomes about family relationships or business partnerships, I found that the law – basically a total stranger to you – dictates what happens to you personally, what happens to your family and your children, and what happens to your assets. State law, drafted by people you don’t know, essentially dictates your life. I’ve never seen a situation where state law matched what a client really, truly wanted by the time they had come to me with their problem. Now I help families avoid this scenario altogether by planning in advance, exactly how they want.

Finally, we all know we’re a number when it comes to the IRS, to the DMV, and to the court system. But you don’t have to be a number when it comes to your attorney. You’re not a number. You have values, goals, and aspirations to fulfill, and you have a family. You need an ongoing relationship with a lawyer who will help both you and your family when they need it most. That’s what we provide.

I want you to know you’ve made a big step toward peace of mind simply by reading this.

We have many resources for you so you can ensure your family and loved ones stay out of court and out of conflict, if and when something happens to you. I'd love to share some of these resources with you going forward. Check out my website for the complimentary resources.

As your Personal Family Lawyer® I’d love to start protecting the people you love and everything else you care about today. I look forward to meeting you!
