San Jose Criminal Defense Attorney — Former Prosecutor

DUI - .12/.12 with accident - San Jose, CA Cameron is a great attorney. He is extremely knowledgeable and is honest and reliable. I contacted Cameron on a Sunday via email and within (2) hours he called me to talk to me about my situation. Immediately, I felt comfortable and knew that he was the right attorney for me. I didn't even meet Cameron in person before I decided to go ahead and hire him. Not only is he a great attorney, but, his pricing is extremely competitive. Cameron was able to keep me out of jail which in turn saved my job and saved my life! I am very thankful and grateful and would definately recommend him to anyone that faces a DUI/DWI charge in the bay area.

Thanks Cameron! I had been accused of something I didn't do and had to prove my innocence. I needed a lawyer. Cameron, his staff and the discovery they obtained were pivotal in the defense of my case. thank you, cameron and everyone at VIB for their efforts in the dismissal of my case.

Stellar defense attorney who saved my good name In a matter of minutes, I went from having no criminal record to being faced with three misdemeanor charges: disturbing the peace, drunk in public, and worst of all resisting arrest. Even worse for me was the fact the police beat me. To justify their excessive use of force, the police lied in their police report to try and cover it up. They made up all kinds of lies saying there was a struggle, that I grabbed an officers hand, made threats, and deserved the beating. All lies. The outlook did not look good for me. It was my words against the cops. The cops even tried to turn my own friends' statements against me with more lies. When I got out of jail, I started looking for an attorney. One attorney wanted to charge $15k to $30k depending on if went to court. There was no way I could afford that amount. And there was no guarantee this attorney could help. After I met Cameron Bowman, I had a good feeling he could help me out. He told me about past cases and how he was able to get charges dropped where I thought the defendant had no shot. His record speaks for itself. Also, the fact he used to work for the DA's office is VERY important. Cameron was a well-respected DA and a very good one. So Cameron knows criminal law from both sides. Cameron's fees were very reasonable. I paid a flat rate for each misdemeanor and he did tons of work and kept me updated on everything. I would have paid double what Cameron charged, it was worth every penny! Long story short, Cameron was able to expose the police cover up to the DA. He was able to obtain surveillance video that proved the police to be liars. Suddenly my case went from having no hope to becoming very strong. In the end, the resisting arrest and drunk in public charges were dropped in exchange for me pleading No Contest for an Infraction for disturbing the peace. So I received one infraction which had the same effect as a traffic ticket. I would not hesitate to use Cameron again if I were ever to find myself in another bind. Cameron is a honest, hard working, and knowledgeable defense attorney. He knows the system and how to get you out of trouble.

DUI case dismissed thanks to Cameron and VIB Law. I highly recommend Cameron when looking for a DUI defense lawyer for representation in court. I was referred to Cameron by a friend as I was needing an experienced and savvy DUI attorney to fight for me in court as I believed my arrest to be unlawful. Cameron was able to not only win my APS hearing with the DMV but successfully demonstrated to the judge that my arrest was unlawful due to an illegal stop by the officer. The DA did not oppose our motion to surpress and dismissed the charges against me. I can not thank Cameron enough for believing in me and fighting for my rights in court.

Saved my life.... I hired Cameron in May of 2014, while i was being investigated due to some allegations that were made about me by the daughter of an acquaintence. Cameron immediately went to work on the matter and kept me informed of things throughout the entire process. In Dec. of 2014 the DA filed charges against me, at which point i stayed with Cameron as my attorney. Cameron quickly came up with a strategy for the case and ramped up his efforts to gain as much of an advantage as possible. Just today, Cameron got my case dismissed and has given me my life and my future back. Good attorneys' are hard to find, Cameron is one of the good ones, I highly recommend Cameron, and would hire him again if i had it to do it all over again. Thanks for everything Cameron.

Fantastic lawyer in bay area I am a professional scientist and my life seemed ever peaceful before this case. I have never faced any criminal cases in my life before this accidental 911 call. Unfortunately I retained another lawyer and I was accused by DA. After research, I realized that I need the most competitive lawyer for my DV case and I found this fantastic lawyer through Avvo.com. He had a clear strategy to lead the best result. As everybody says, he is smart and knowledgable, but I would rather emphasize that he has a brave heart. I was in a risky situation due to my visa status. Still, Mr. Bowman informed me the best strategy with possible limitations and prepared to fight, and finally we could get dismissed. I am sincerely grateful to Mr. Bowman and definitely recommend him as your lawyer.

Par Excellence. Bar none Cameron Bowman is the absolute best. He stays on top of your case every step of the way. You’ll be glad you chose him. He’s the absolute best and his record speaks for itself.

Outstanding Let me start by saying that I am a lawyer who works within the criminal justice system. It was almost painful for me to watch someone else do "my" job, but it gives me the unique opportunity to give you an honest impression that distinguishes the good from the bad. Many people don't know that Cameron Bowman was a highly distinguished prosecutor within the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office. He was on the special operations and homicide teams and he was the felony trial attorney of the year in the late 90s. That means he was the most impressive trial attorney out of the 180 trial attorneys the DA employs. It's a BIG deal. Fundamentally, you have to understand that criminal cases get resolved in one of three ways: dismissal, settlement, or trial. There are no other options. You will get nowhere on any of those fronts if you can't try a case. DAs won't dismiss or settle cases against sloppy attorneys because they know they can win at trial. They will push forward on cases where they know the defense attorney is lazy or incompetent. They can't do that with Cameron Bowman. He can try circles around most attorneys in this County. That kind of experience is invaluable. It gives him and incredibly unique perspective. He won't make you unrealistic promises, but instead, will guide you through the process. He'll let you know what you can do to improve your own situation and he'll do what he can to manage it. He is well respected by the judges and the prosecutors in this County. And if push comes to shove, there is no one you'd rather have represent you when 12 members of the community are going to decide your fate.

Great lawyer! I ran into an issue that was confusing because the event didn't fit the punishment at all. Cameron followed up immediately with me, talked to me about his experience in the subject matter and calmed me down by coming with up a game plan that was sound. He took in the facts, made suggestions on what woud help make my side clear to the judge and in the end it all worked out exactly how Cameron had predicted. Having worked with lawyers in the past, I would highly suggest Cameron for anyone that has run into legal issues.

You will receive nothing but the BEST when you hire Cameron Bowman! Just like the title explains, you will receive the best when dealing with Cameron Bowman. He has always been up front with me since day one. Being that this was my first case ever, him and his team walked me through each step and explaining what would happen. He never sugar coated anything no lead me wrong and always kept my family informed with what was happening in the case. He even went the extra mile and setup a court date on Christmas Eve to get me out on bail so I could spend Christmas with my family. I'm very thankful to have Cameron Bowman representing me and would DEFINITELY recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer.
