After having a disappointing and discouraging experience with a very pricey lawyer,  I was desperately in need of an elder law attorney to help me with my ninety-six year old sister’s Medicaid application. I made an online inquiry to the Teresa K Bowman P.A. law firm and received an immediate reply. It did not take me long to realize that I had finally found a knowledgeable advocate who understood my situation and could guide me through the complicated process. Thanks to Attorney Bowman and Public Benefits Specialist & Paralegal, Brian Epifanio-Kandel, my sister is finally receiving the care and attention she deserves! I cannot thank them enough!

The best lawyers ever! We had a very difficult case with my mother over the last 4 years and Teresa and her staff (especially Brian) really helped me through all the trauma. I can't thank or appreciate them enough!

I really enjoyed meeting with her to discuss and draw up a will, living will, power of attorney and advanced health directive. She recommended several things I had not thought of. She made me aware of some options I had known of. I would highly recommend her for legal needs.

Teresa and her staff were more than excellent. Not knowing what to to expect during a trying time in our lives she put us at ease. Explained in layman's language. She quoted us a price and it never changed although she did much more than we expected. I respect her honesty, efficiency I could go on and on. You will not see any ads by her. she did over an hours consultation with us.

Everyone in the office is so pleasant and does everything they can to accommodate your schedule. I worked with Rachel. She was very good and patient when explaining anything that was unclear. I felt I was in good hands. Teresa Bowman was recommended by my neighbor and I have no problem recommending her office to others.

I have been a client of Teresa Bowman for several years and feel so secure knowing I can rely on her and her associate, Rachel Schadt, to guide me through the many legal issues involved with estate planning and my care as I get older. I feel confident my children will be in good hands when the time comes to settle my estate or if I am in need of care in the future. Both Teresa and Rachel are warm, caring and down-to-earth as well as very knowledgeable in all areas of Elder Law. They are diligent in making sure all of my legal paperwork is up-to-date with the most current regulations. Everyone I have dealt with in Teresa's office is very friendly and makes me feel they care about me as a person. I highly recommend this law firm.
