DUI Marijuana Case Cameron Bowman handled our DUI marijuana case professionally and expertly with detailed and aggressive cross examination of the procecutions two police officers star witnesses. He ripped them on cross examination which completely destroying the prosectution’s case. This left the prosecuting DA no choice but to dismiss this case after this damaging testimony completely destroying the prosectution's claims and assertions. We are overjoyed with the dismissal ruling in our case. It took over a year to get a resolution to the case but our first lawyer did not do a good job in our defense. We interviewed Cameron, hired him and he picked up that ball and ran with it to its eventual success outcome. We highly recommend Cameron as an outstanding defense attorney for DUI marijuana or marijuana cases. It is a refreshing change to work with a law group that does not pass off a case to junior lawyers in a firm to handle. At VIB, Valencia, Ippolito & Bowman Attorneys at Law, we interacted with a partner, Cameron Bowman from beginning to end.

This man is Great! He really know his stuff and the Right People My husband was looking at 3 strikes with 50+ years in prison. Mr. Bowman took on our case and had such great negotiating skills and knew all the right people that he was able to get his 3 strikes thrown out and his final sentence down to 1 year county time. Just unbelievable! My husband had changed his life for the better but had made some bad decisions in his past and Mr. Bowman was able to get the DA and Judge to see this. We are so grateful that we found him. He was always quick to respond to our inquiries and always kept us informed. His assistant Johanna was also a great asset. If we were unable to speak directly to Mr. Bowman, Johanna always took care of what we needed. We highly recommend Mr Bowman. He is a great lawyer and also straight up and honest.

Cameron Bowman, Attorney at Law, represented a family member of mine who was charged with multiple extremely serious felony crimes.  Over the course of a 2 1/2 year period, Mr. Bowman provided outstanding defense strategies which led to the best possible outcome.  Mr. Bowman is highly competent and committed to the belief that everyone deserves fairness in our justice system.  You can trust that he’ll do his best for your situation.  I am honored to recommend Mr.  Bowman’s services as a Defense Attorney.

Highest regard for Cameron I am a professional who was unfortunately faced with the prospect of DV charges. Cameron empathetically listened to my case and why any charges being filed would be devastating to me, my family and my career. He worked professionally and communicated regularly and calmly with me to put together a strategy to try and avoid any charges being filed. Through his hard work w/ the DDA assigned to the matter and persuasive advocacy, we received notice that the DDA was declining to file charges. I am absolutely thrilled w/his representation and highly recommend him to anyone who wants a real professional to handle any matter delicate or otherwise.

DV case... Mr. Cameron Bowman is the Best! I am posting this review because I feel like it will help people to find the right professional as it helped to me. Several months ago I was arrested for DV... lost, sad, hopeless I decided to do an extensive research on the Internet in order to find an excellent attorney who can handle my case. Since the very first moment I met with Mr. Cameron Bowman I felt like I found the right person, and I wasn't wrong.! He gave me great confidence. I felt so relieved when he said he would take care of my case. He was always keeping me updated about every step of the process with great patience, efficacy, efficiency and professionalism. He and his staff work perfectly. It turns out that Mr. Bowman was amazingly able to get no charges from the DA. In addition, he got from the Judge to grant my Motion for Factual Innocence, meaning that my arrest records were ordered to be sealed WOW! I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER! He is simply the best.! I really appreciate the time and work that he put into my case. I highly recommend Mr. Bowman to anyone looking for a solid legal representation.

Mr. Cameron and his team were very easy to work with and always responded within a reasonable amount of time. All questions were answered in detail, was guided through the process for my case, and was taken care of in a timely manner. Highly recommend Mr. Cameron Bowman. He is a natural born fighter.

Hands down the BEST!! I had a major criminal case that tied into a restraining order. I was falsely accused of something. Cameron handled the restraining order case. His communication throughout the process was above and beyond. If i emailed him, he would respond back promptly. If i called the office, he would contact me back ASAP. He helped me when I was nervous and was real with me. He let me know what he was thinking and were the situation stood in his mind. He is highly trustworthy and skilled. Don't let his kindness fool you, he controlled the court room. He's aggressive, extremely smart, I called him the legal Mike Tyson after he won my restraining order case. He is the best period. I will recommend Cameron to anyone who needs a criminal lawyer! Get Cameron and win! He will out perform his job tasks as your lawyer. I am so thankful he was mine. You saved my life Cameron in a highly critical situation that revolved around a high felony and I was sick to my stomach with the false accusations. You delivered and then some!

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.

Going Above and Way Beyond the Call of Duty! As a current client I had retained Cameron Bowman's services because of his exemplary knowledge and experience litigating 3 strikes cases in Santa Clara county and the reputation of excellence with the V.I.B. law firm. As well his experience as a former Santa Clara County DA paid major dividends in fighting my case still to this day. I was facing no less than 9 years with a max of 25 to Life on 3rd strike charges due to multiple drug felonies. With his skills and connections within the system he was not only able to get all my strikes waved eliminating my high risk level which the DA would not budge on, but Mr. Bowman fought to get me the lowest min. sentence allowed by law and got my bail dropped to O.R. status, that's practically unheard of with 3 strikes cases. His professionalism sets himself apart from most criminal attorneys I've experienced in San Jose, and I've gone through quite a few. The way he continually handles the DA and Judge to postpone sentencing has been remarkable. I would highly recommend Mr. Bowman to anyone facing any 3 strikes or serious criminal felonies in Santa Clara County. If you want to stay out of jail, then Mr. Bowman is your man!

Great defense attorney, really helped us out. I met Cameron while working at the District Attorney's office, and referred several people to his firm (all had very high regards for how Cameron handled their issues). He really supported my niece on a sentencing issue after the public defender did a pretty poor job on it. We really appreciate all he did to help, going above and beyond, and his presence really helped calm our nerves and brought some sanity back into her life.... Cameron is an excellent attorney!

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.

Our family is deeply grateful to have engaged Mr. Bowman. He is an extremely knowledgeable attorney who approached our case with empathy and thoughtfulness, keeping us calm and reassured throughout the entire legal process lasting over 18 months. We trusted him completely. Thanks to his expert strategy, we reached a successful outcome wherein the case has been dismissed. We, highly and without any reservations recommend him to anyone in need of a supportive and effective advocate.

Cameron Bowman is a god! It sounds too good to be true, but, seriously, Cameron Bowman saved my life! I was up for a DUI with a blood alcohol level of .16. It is unheard of to get anything less than a DUI with such a high blood alcohol level. The court wanted to charge me with the DUI, fine me $5000 total and have me spend 10 days in jail. I would have lost my job and I have no means with which to pay $5000 in fees. I did have special extenuating circumstances that the DA on the case saw as being worthy of a reduction, so I am not saying that Mr. Bowman could deliver exactly this kind of result to everyone BUT, his legal skills are nothing short of magic. I ended up with a Drunk in Public charge, owing $190 in fees and get to attend AA meetings for 2 months (which I really need). Nothing on my DMV record, at all. This reduction was so drastic and shocking, the Judge asked council to approach the bench and explain the reduction!!! When I went to the court Financial office to arrange a payment plan for the $190, she also gasped and told me that in 15 years she had never seen a reduction of this magnitude!!! Obviously, I am very pleased with Mr. Bowman's services as well as with his ability to remain calm throughout the entire process. I do not plan on getting into legal trouble again, but, at least I now know I have the best lawyer possible. Thank you, Mr. Bowman!!!
