When my son was stuck in custody for two months over a felony charge and we were worried about him missing school, Patrick Valencia is a wonderful lawyer who replaced our previous expensive lawyer. Patrick is very knowledgeable about juvenile court and settled the case with one call to the DA. My son was then released quickly so he could resume a normal lifestyle and complete school. He is very considerate of his customers, and was always there for us when we had simple questions or a bigger problem. If you have problems with juvenile court, I highly recommend reaching out to Patrick and VIB Law

After reading numerous reviews for law firms that handled my type of case, I gave VIB a call and they put me in touch with Cameron Bowman. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable and I was especially reassured by his extensive past history as a prosecutor in the Santa Clara County DA’s Office. In my particular case I was being falsely accused but was in a situation where the accusation alone could result in a conviction so I needed serious help. Cameron immediately got me working with he and his team which included in addition to those in this office, an excellent Private Investigator

I was in a domestic violence case. I didn't have nice experience with my first attorney. I was very lucky to find Mr. Cameron Bowman of VIB law and switched to him to represent me. It turned out to be a right choice. Mr. Bowman was very professional. He reached out to DA multiple times to present supporting materials for my case. He was engaged and kept me updated during the entire process so that I knew my case was taken good care of. He was very patient in answering my questions and explaining court proceedings during my communication with him via phone and email. He also represented me in court

Mr. Bowman is AMAZING!!! I can't thank him enough for the work he did on my son's case. He went above and beyond in every way. Every email or call i made was answered and responded to promptly and he explained everything to us every step of the way during his court proceedings. He was very honest about my son's case and what he was up against but he never stopped fighting for the best outcome for my son & in the end he got my son's case dismissed!!! I recommend him to anyone who needs an amazing criminal defense lawyer!

Hiring these scoundrel attorneys was the worst mistake I have ever made. These unethical scoundrels will ask you to make a large upfront payment and once they have your money you won't hear from them again. I was stressed and worried about spending time in jail due to a DUI and despite my calls and emails none of these three attorneys bothered to get back to me -- not ever a single time. This was strange as all of them had been very responsive -- well, at least until I gave them a fat check and signed the malicious contract they gave me, in which I gave up basic rights. Remember this, do not

These unprofessional thieves will do whatever it takes you take advantage of desperate people. They do not see their clients as human beings; indeed, they see every person as an opportunity to make extra money. When I met with the attorneys they looked nice and caring but since the second I signed my contract I was never able to get hold of them. My 5 year old nephew could have represented me better than these incompetent and unethical thieves did.

Cameron Bowman was upfront and honest from the first consultation to a very acceptable resolution. Any questions we had were answered in a timely manner and were as detailed as they needed to be. He was at every court appearance and kept us informed of all updates and changes, while being reassuring every step of the way. Mr. Bowman negotiated a best case scenario for our situation, an outcome we hoped for even though we expected a much less favorable conclusion. I absolutely recommend Cameron Bowman.

When you need a lawyer you NEED to know you can trust them. Cameron has been amazing from the get go. He is caring, dependable, reachable and responsive. His pricing is fair and clear! He was up front about what he charged and what was and was not included. Years later when I reached out about a record clearing that he had mentioned he would include in the cost we discovered it wasn't written into the contract but he ensured that his team took care of it per his word no questions asked and in fact took the time to apologize for the confusion! He is a pleasure to work with, he knows the law

This law firm helped me in the worst time of my life and they helped every step of the way. I had the pleasure to have Cameron Bowman as my attorney and he was very professional and let me know all of my options before going into anything. From the consultation to my court date, he always assured me that he was going to try to get the best deal for me, which he did! He is very experienced and a great lawyer all around! If I'm ever in legal trouble again, hopefully never, I'll definitely be back to VIB!

Top of the line, compassionate, knowledgeable, will fight for you in every aspect of your case and get results. Mr. Bowman is clearly a master of his trade, knows how the system works and uses it to his and your advantage. Facing the prospect of possible jail time or at least many days of community service Mr. Bowman was able to get sentencing down to 10 days community service, small fine and weekly classes. Highly recommend VIB Law and Mr. Bowman for your case. His fees are very competitive and his demeanor professional yet very personal to keep you calm thoughout the process. There is light

Cameron is the best for DV cases! I was falsely accused and arrested for domestic violence after I tried to initiate a divorce against my abusive wife. I originally went through my employers EAP program to supposedly get a better rate with the best attorneys. After providing evidence that my wife lied to police, my attorney said she will wait until after the arraignment to discuss with DA. That didn't seem aggressive enough, so I did my research and found great reviews on Cameron. I especially like how he was a DV focused DA for many years prior. I fired my original attorney and hired Cameron

Thank you Cameron bowman! I'm so happy I hired him as our attorney. He is very professional and knows the system well. He acted fast and didn't take the first deal that was presented to him.
The father of my child was looking at three years prison sentence and bowman was able to get that reduced Down to just a higher pay in restitution, he is now being released and is able to see the birth of his child! I will continue to keep him as our attorney until there is a completion to his probation.
I highly recommend this lawyer.
Myself and his family are greatly appreciated for what he has

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.
