I don't have enough words to describe how amazing the experience with this firm was. Stephen and his staff work hard to make sure you have a winning case. From the moment I called until my case was over, I was at ease that I made the right choice. I could not have asked for better lawyer. Thank you so much Stephen!

Best law firm I ever stumbled upon when looking around for a friend. Incredibly friendly and always available to talk to during all hours of the day and night. The amount of experience and care they put into each case will make you feel like you're watching "Making a Murderer." I would certainly recommend them to anyone and everyone who may need the services they provide.

I hired Steve several times to help me with my legal matters and to help me navigate the confusing court system. Steve is not only extremely knowledgeable, he is a pleasure to be around. Dealing with judges can be stressful and frustrating, but Steve set me at ease with his confidence and intelligence. I've only ever had great outcomes with him! I recommend Steve to all my friends, and to anyone in need of a lawyer with his talents. He is reasonable, honest, and generous with his time and communication. You won't regret hiring him!

Stephen T bowling is one of the best lawyers I’ve been fortunate to Acquire.
Making one single poor decision can cost you a lot!
However this team has the ability to turn a dire situation into a winning outcome!
Especially when a person learns their lesson, and takes what they’ve done to full account.
No one wants to be on the other side of the law, besides that Texas really sticks it to you.

So in reality be sure to have the best advocate you can get as your Defense.

Thank you to David and Jenny at the Stephen T bowling law firm !!!!!

David Thomas was a massive line of support during a difficult time. Anytime you’re in need of consulting a lawyer, you should always be looking for someone who is thorough, present/productive, empathetic, trustworthy, communicative, and persevering. David holds all of those qualities. I highly recommend him for his personable qualities and especially in his knowledgeable legal services as he was instrumental in my own legal issues. I am extremely thankful for his services and should I need legal advice or representation in the future, he will be the first person I call! He always answered any question I had right away and literally answered night or day, which was above and beyond in my book. I felt not only heard/understood, but most importantly.. fought for! Everything you could hope and want for in your representation. I highly, highly recommend David if you’re in search of a fantastic lawyer!

On what seemed to be the worst/most embarrassing day(s) of my adult life David (lawyer) was swift in having me released on bail, and took time to make me feel that it wasn't the end of the world.Through out the entire process, communication flowed well and though the judicial process can take some time, it was worth having this legal team on my side.

Their pricing is more than fair for the services they provide. I'd choose them time and time again to represent me. At the end of it all, what they had negotiated on my behalf was a miracle. In fact, the court financial clerk was curious to know who my lawyer was, as he hadn't seen such a negotiated plea like mine before. He told me I was smart to hire who I did....

My two cents if you're looking for a legal team, don't look elsewhere. Stick with the Stephen Bowling team.

I would highly recommend David Thomas and this law firm. David has a wealth of knowledge and experience from being a Police Officer which is priceless in criminal law. David is my personal attorney, friend and prior co-worker. I know several attorneys and he would be my first choice everytime.

David Thomas has represented me for my DWI case and I definitely recommend his counsel. I originally had a court appointed attorney who was not interested at all in helping me and if David had not taken my case I may very well have ended up in jail.

David has always kept me up to date with any concerns in dealing with my case. I believe I received the best possible outcome with his defense. He has a great relationship with the prosecutors and judges. He has been readily available to speak with me at anytime concerning my case and was able to reschedule court dates when needed.

He and staff are knowledgeable, attentive and will make sure you receive the best representation possible.

David Thomas was very helpful in navigating the confusing world of the criminal court system. He communicated with our family, helping us understand each step of the process. He proactively worked to ensure we had the best court date possible and followed up issues pre-trial to get us the best outcome in the shortest time period. David's entire team worked with us for the complete time we were in court, prepping us before entering, and meeting with us afterwards to explain each point. We have already run into a related issue to this court visit and have retained David for a second time with excellent results.

David did a great job throughout the entire process, from beginning through the end. He was very professional, with great communication & follow up. Their team took care of all court visits and they were also very informative on when the next actions would be and what were next steps. Resolution was timely with desired results. Would recommend David, Stephen and his team.

I worked with David Thomas this past year to help me through my DWI case and he made everything about the process effortless for me. Instead of having to deal with what could have easily been a painful and long process, David took care of everything he could with his team. My court appearances were minimal, he walked/talked me through every piece of paperwork, and every question I had that came up. David additionally went above and beyond to help me get through my license suspension with zero headache, and he was able to help me ensure I got all of my probation requirements done in a timely manner so he could help me get an early release from probation. Best of all, David and his team got the DWI dropped. Would no question recommend David and the Stephen Bowling law office.

I had called a few lawyers at the time, but no one was as responsive and as knowledgeable as David Thomas. He answered promptly and walked me through a very difficult time, all throughout the months of service, and even after hours. He was very attentive, and affordable. I could not have asked for anyone better. Thank you so much for everything!

David Thomas is most worthy when it comes to hiring the best defense attorney possible. Mr. Thomas answered my text/calls 24/7 and still responds promptly to this day should I have any question arise. I had several questions and was up against serious charges from a situation that happened in no more than a blink of an eye.
Mr. Thomas lead me forward to be able to correct my mistakes, learn from them and earn forgiveness from the judge. I was able to see the light at the end of the tunnel with his professional advise and encouragement. I would highly recommend David Thomas to anyone who thinks their own situation may be doubtful. He makes your future possible.

I cannot recommend this team enough! From the very beginning of my legal issues I felt confident working with Stephen, Jenny and David. I felt hopeless at first, but the moment I spoke with Steve and Jenny for the first time I knew I was in good hands - they are very knowledgeable in what they do and had an answer for every question I posed to them. I also really appreciated the site they used to keep your court documents on file, post invoices, post court dates to your calendar, etc.. It made it very easy for me to keep track of what was going on with my cases and for that I am very thankful - it made a very stressful situation easier to handle. I would highly recommend this team to anyone in need of a team of serious lawyers who can get you the results you need.

Stephen, David , Jenny and everyone else behind the scene was amazing to work with. I met with Stephen & Jenny first and Jenny was my point of contact from there on and she did an amazing job. Everyone on the team worked together so well, I was always up to date on what was going on via email or a text/call. I also knew exactly where I needed to be and what time/day to be there. Even if I didn't meet with jenny it was someone on the team and knew exactly what was going on. Jenny would then follow up later to make sure everything was okay and to see if I had any questions. They also do their research on the case and it didn't feel like I was another number in line. They laid out all possible options I was looking at and answered a lot of questions I had about being the best way to go about handling the situation. All and all it was the best call I ever made in a situation like this. They helped me when I really needed it and I'll always be grateful. I'd HIGHLY recommend this team to any family or friends who need knowledgeable and reliable lawyers. I will always save this number and hand it to to anyone in need. They were a blessing.

Thank you Stephen, David, Jenny and everyone else there.

I had a DUI case that would have cost me my career if I had been convicted. David never treated my case like it was just another number. He allowed me to decide my fate and suggested our best options. Definitely keeping his number if anything ever happens again! I had people in my DUI class amazed at the deal he got me! That's how I knew what a great attorney David is. Thanks to him I still have my career and a better understanding of Texas laws. Even better, I have a true Ally that I can depend on in my time of need. Best money I have ever spent! Call David before you call a bondsman! It will be well worth it for your loved one.

Thanks David,
One satisfied client

David Thomas is a highly recommended attorney! He was able to resolve a case within months, which was taking another attorney 3 years. David was so helpful every step of the way. He was super honest, and dedicated to help resolve my matter. He is a hard worker who deserves all the recognition he can possibly get. Also, Camila was really helpful whenever I could not get a hold of David. She made sure I got the answers I needed. She was a really sweet soul, and she will also make a great attorney one day. I will make sure I refer this firm to friends and family because this is the PLACE TO GO! They will take great care of you in a great price! :) Beyond satisfied with my experience.

Not impressed. Not very professional or knowledgeable. There are lots of lawyers, go find another one. I don't remember the name of the gentleman I spoke with and he was unnecessarily rude and unprofessional. I'm certain I have the correct firm, unless there are multiple Stephen Bowling and Associates in Austin. Every call, every time, it's always best to be polite. Full stop.

I'd had no clue where to start when I had to look for a DWI lawyer. I'm so, so glad my friend pointed me toward David Thomas. I could tell he knew what he was doing and had my best interests at heart. Plus, he answered all of my questions, and I had a lot of questions. He was really patient. I have no intention of getting into that situation again, but if I had to do it over, I'd choose David Thomas as my attorney.

I wish I had known a thing or two about hiring an attorney before I caught my case so that I could have known to avoid Stephen. As far as I can tell, he did nothing for my case after taking my money, besides delaying the process. Nothing happened with my case for almost a year-and-a-half and in that time I heard virtually nothing from Stephen. He was two hours late for my last court appointment where I was offered a deal for probation, which I ended up taking. I wasn't even told about my last court appointment until two days before it was scheduled. As a student in a very demanding engineering program, that lack of proper notice and disregard for my time is totally unacceptable. Hiring him was a complete waste of money. I would have been better off just dealing with the prosecutor on my own. I probably would have gotten the same deal without having to pay $3500 to an attorney who did nothing.

He didn't even really advise me to take the standard DWI/AOD classes offered by Travis County, or an IOP class, which not only would have helped my case, but which ended up being conditions of my probation anyway. He briefly mentioned the MADD panel during one of the two or three conversations I had with him in total, and the AOD class one time in an email. I'm actually the one that set up that last meeting, because I wanted to get more information, not because he was trying to guide me through the process as a good attorney should. I had never even been arrested before, let alone been faced with a court case that required me to hire a lawyer. He absolutely should have impressed upon me the importance of these things, instead of just mentioning them off-hand one time. After talking to other probationers, it has become clear that a good lawyer actually takes an active role in guiding their client, and makes sure they are taking the proper steps to help their case; they continually check in to see that their client is following the attorney's advice.

I ended up taking the offer for 18 months probation, because I had no faith in Stephen's ability to take my case to trial. Probation has been an absolute nightmare. I have wasted thousands of dollars getting put through the private-interest-run racket that is community supervision (another name for probation). Not only has it drained my bank account, probation has completely ruined these last 18 months of my life. It is humiliating, degrading, and dehumanizing.

I was surprise arrested while showing up to one of my monthly meetings, because I accidentally missed a court date. As a result, I missed two exams and some important assignments for school and ended up having to drop out of my engineering program at UT, all because of this disaster. I would have been able to get out of jail that first day if my mother had known to call a bail bondsmen. However, she called Stephen's firm first for advice, and they convinced her to hire them to get me out instead of hiring a bail bondsmen, as I requested. I even told them that I needed to get out as soon as possible because I had an exam the next morning. They knew they wouldn't even be able to talk to the judge about letting me out until the next day, but they still took our money instead of advising her to hire a bail bondsmen, which would have been the ethical thing to do given the circumstances.

Stephen has begun to harass me for leaving negative, but completely honest reviews on the internet. I've his associate that I won't change my reviews and asked to be left alone, but he continues to text me to tell me that I am wrong and would be far worse off were it not for him. I am more than willing to add screenshots of his texts to this review if anyone wants.

In conclusion, I just want to say this: do not hire this man, unless your case is already a slam dunk for any attorney. Do your research and hire someone that will actually take an active interest and put in the work to help your case.
