Amazing Professional

Tracy has been my attorney for well over 2 years. She took on a complicated case of divorce, property settlement, and investment disputes. She is attentive, responsive, understanding, and kind. Tracy is quick to provide valuable, professional options and recommendations at all stages and continues to expertly handle ongoing negotiations with great success at minimizing financial exposure. I'd recommend Tracy to anyone who asked. Just an exceptional attorney!

-Mike

Excellent advocacy, support, follow through

Tracy Meyer represented me in a case that began as a request for a child support modification involving several states and ultimately involved custody and visitation changes as well. Tracy had an excellent rapport with me and was able to reassure me when needed, but also to give it to me straight at times. She knew what to anticipate and was able to communicate with me clearly. She was phenomenal in the courtroom where I was extremely grateful for her knowledge, professionalism and decency. It was clear she was respected in the courtroom and I believe her experience and demeanor were seen clearly. I would highly recommend Tracy Meyer.

-William

Ms. Meyer provided excellent advice and sage counsel. She actively listened to the facts, my opinions, the input from my family and friends. She framed my case using her years of court experience and then clearly stated terms of likely outcomes. Her exceptional expertise has proved invaluable in negotiating favorable settlements. Her careful preparations for court and her practical interpretation of case law helped me to make tough personal family decisions. I have referred her to friends and would do so again. She is an outstanding professional.

Knowledgeable - Professional - Caring Attorney to have in your corner

Tracy undertook my case as a Subject Matter Expert in Family Law when my original attorney was unable to represent me fully and in my best interest. Being a retired police officer familiar with the courts and an active duty military officer Tracy addressed my concerns, was honest about my options, and represented me with true commitment and concern for the long term outcome of my case.

-Tom

Smart and always well prepared

Tracey was always very well prepared for each meeting with opposing counsel. Along with being prepared she was also the smartest person in the room, which is very comforting when things got contentious or when making agreements on the spot with opposing counsel. Tracey paid great attention to the details and on several occasions caught and corrected the sloppy work of the opposing lawyer.

-Jim

Outstanding Lawyer

Tracy was fantastic! She expertly reviewed my case, explained the law in a way I could understand, and kept me informed at all times. Her easy going demeanor coupled with her extensive knowledge makes her hands-down the best in the “Burg!

-Toby

Excellent family law practitioner

Tracy is an excellent family law attorney who was immensely helpful to me. While none of the divorce/separation cases are "easy", my case was more on the difficult side, as the counsels and others familiar with the situation seemed to agree. Tracy handled the various elements with tremendous ease, and her familiarity with all procedures of the various courts was a distinctive edge over the opposing counsel. In the courtroom also, Tracy was head and shoulders above the OC, knowing exactly what to ask, how to ask, what not to ask, etc. Perhaps most importantly, she is an excellent negotiator. After all the courtroom drama had settled, she was able to get down to negotiating table and knew how to come to a custody and financial settlement that was fair, reasonable and doable. Tracy also has a history of dealing with divorce cases that involve mental health concerns, and that was very helpful in my case due to some concerns on that front related to my ex. All said and done, I highly recommend Tracy. One hopes they never need a divorce lawyer, but when one needs, there is no margin for error, and only the best should be considered - I highly recommend Tracy in that regard.

Unmatched

Very personable, professional, and reassuring. All around great guy. What I perceived as a difficult divorce, Alan kept it simple. He's very receptive and straight forward, his guidance and advice was spot on. Sharp and intelligent he's the person you would want on your side. No one wins in a divorce but the outcome was more than I expected. I can't thank him enough!

Excellent service, amazing representation and a gentleman!

When what should have been an uncomplicated divorce turned into a three ringed circus, I was very fortunate to have Alan Bowden as my council. From the onset he was caring, kind, upfront, plain spoken yet obviously very intelligent. There was never a moment I doubted his strategy or advice. During the court hearings he was very well prepared, professional, articulate and to the point, unlike the paper shuffling, mumbling and redundant questions from the opposition. Alan kept it simple, no mud slinging and classy. On top of Alan's apparent love for the law, justice and giving his client 100% , he is also a very nice guy and a pleasure to be around, even in difficult circumstances. I couldn't offer a higher recommendation!

-Alison

Best Divorce Attorney I could Have Imagined

Alan was both upfront and all-business as well as supportive and kind during my divorce. He made sure I received an equitable outcome and helped me to think through key decision points. He was also very empathetic, which in the tough moments really helped. I can’t recommend him strongly enough.

Outstanding work

I hired Alan to handle a dispute with a minority owner. He did an outstanding job in the representation.

An attorney with Class, Integrity, Professionalism, and Tenacity, all while actually caring about the client.

I hired Alan in 2014, to represent me through my divorce proceedings. From the beginning and our first meeting, Alan was up front with the procedures involved and the expected outcomes and costs of representation as they related to my case. I was in a difficult situation and Alan was the exact type of attorney I needed. He was not afraid to put me in my place if I was getting ahead of myself, as this is easy to do when faced with a difficult situation such as divorce. He is a leader and instills confidence that the decisions being made are the right ones. I believe Alan's past experience in Litigation puts him a step above the rest when it comes to family law, as I have seen him in action and to say he prepared is an understatement. I would almost swear that the opposing attorney, not to be named, but from a very "powerful" and reputable firm, almost cried during our first hearing. It was as if he had lived the exact moment before and had the right answer for every question. The ability to prepare properly is a powerful tool and Alan has this, perfected from what I have seen. The trait that impressed me most about Alan was his character and his heart. Alan represented my case with the utmost integrity and with such feeling for what I needed and wanted. I had discussed with him from day 1, that I wanted to be the bigger person and do the right thing. I did not want to stray from this course of action, and in law, I have found, others will lie, cheat and steal to get the outcome they want. Alan, not only took my feelings into consideration, he found a way to achieve our goal without going outside the lines. It is hard to express in words, how much Alan has helped me through the most difficult time of my life. How much appreciation I have that, he is not only my attorney, but a friend, who genuinely wants to be there for me. Side note: Alan also represented my company prior asking him to represent me as I dealt with my family law issues. His knowledge of business law, helped me through a number of tough business decisions. A tip of the cap, once again.

-John

Really appreciate and loved working with both Tracy and Alan. They were direct, clear, honest and upfront about the expectations and options throughout the process. Regardless of my decisions they worked hard for my requests. They never charged for the smallest minute things nor did they "Nickle and dime" me as they could have as other law firms do. It was always fair and considerate. My outcome was not unexpected with the current legal system in custody battle. Despite the issues it is normal still to always side with the mom no matter her attitude, capability, mental health and actions. My outcome was better then the normal cookie cutter and not in favor of removing custody to the bare minimum and all that can be attributed to Tracy and Alan. I had a 4 year battle with a vindictive, petty spouse with undiagnosed BPD and Tracy was very articulate in her approach and constant responses to the other party's constant defamation and accusations. Thank you again. I would certainly highly recommend Tracy and Alan.

I found Alan Bowden through google after lots of research looking for a divorce lawyer and from just a few of the reviews I read I decided to give him a call. The best thing I could’ve done. He did not disappoint. Alan was the first lawyer I spoke to (and I spoke to many), to actually take the time to look at the paperwork I already had and if it wasn’t for him I would’ve lost the little left my husband was trying to take from me. He always responded quickly and was the advocate I needed during my divorce. Alan cares about his clients and he will fight for you, he sure did for me. I highly recommend him!!

Fantastic customer service and responsiveness. Very helpful and solved issue very quickly.

My divorce was a complete mess that perpetuated over quite a long time- it was exhausting and expensive. Then, I met Tracy Meyer, we clicked immediately and everything changed for the BEST! She is excellent! Tracy listened to me, understood all of the BS that I was dealing with and organized my case easily. On top of that, she is honest, professional and communicative; Her no-nonsense, intelligent and strong demeanor propelled my divorce forward, even through the pandemic. Tracy's knowledge of divorce law and her ability to apply it to my case was nothing less than brilliant. Ultimately, my Property Settlement Agreement (PSA) included everything I needed and wanted for myself and my children with the protection of law. With absolute certainty, I highly recommend Meyer & Bowden.

The shock and despair of divorce can be quite overwhelming emotionally. After spending many hours researching for the right attorney, I found Tracy Meyer. Tracy was there for me during the entire emotionally draining, anxiety filled process. Throughout the entire journey I always felt Tracy had my best interest in mind and guided me through tough times and tough decisions. Tracy is honest and will always openly communicate with you, bringing to you the good and bad news - holding nothing back; which is what you need during this endeavor in your life. Tracy expects the same honesty and openness from her clients and will do her very best in framing your case making sure you are treated fairly. You will find, as I did, that Tracy cares about you and your best interest with the goal of the best outcome for you now and your future. You can be confident Tracy knows the law very well, knows the business, and knows the court system and how it can work for you or against you. Trust is a common thread between you and who represents you and you can be confident that Tracy can be trusted to be your advocate. I could have chosen many to represent me, but thankfully I was led to the very best. Tracy Meyer without a doubt is the very best; period.

I had an extraordinarily difficult divorce case that took almost five years. I'd been obliged to 'fire' three lawyers prior to engaging Ms. Meyer, - who was recommended to me by another one of Fredericksburg's finest attorneys (whom I couldn't use to a conflict of interest with my spouse). She's smart, she's tough, she knows the law and listened to me. I'd had issues with my prior attorneys not appreciating how difficult (mentally unstable yet not to the "has to be committed" extent) my now ex spouse was. I can't express my appreciation and heartfelt gratitude for a long hard fight. I would unhesitatingly recommend her.

A friend of mine referred me to Alan Bowden, it was the best referral ever! Alan helped me through a VERY complicated divorce. Alan is very responsive, VERY knowledgeable of the law and what you are entitled to. He truly cares about his clients and will be by your side the entire time, he will always ask how you are doing and how you are holding up, it means a lot during such a stressful/sad time. Alan won an amazing settlement for me at mediation and I will forever be grateful.

I have personally work with Tracy on several cases and her knowledge of the law and professionalism are above reproach.
