About
Garry James Bowman is a seasoned attorney based in Chula Vista, California, with a rich legal career that spans over five decades. A proud native of Michigan, Garry embarked on his legal journey in 1969 with the San Diego City Attorney’s office after earning both his Bachelor of Business Administration and Juris Doctor degrees from the University of Michigan. In 1970, he established his private practice in Chula Vista, quickly becoming a trusted name in the community. Throughout the 1970s, Garry honed his skills as a partner in several local law firms before founding his solo practice in 1982, where he focused on estate planning and probate law. His extensive experience allows him to navigate the complexities of these areas with confidence, ensuring that his clients receive exceptional guidance and support during critical life transitions. Garry's commitment to his profession extends beyond individual practice; he has held significant leadership roles within the South Bay Bar Association, including serving as past president. His dedication to community service is further exemplified through his involvement with the Chula Vista Kiwanis Club and Eastlake Community Church. Additionally, Garry's experience as a former Judge Pro Tem in Family Law showcases his deep understanding of the legal landscape. Central to Garry's philosophy of legal practice are three core principles: integrity, quality, and advocacy. He is dedicated to providing honest and transparent legal services, ensuring that his fees are fair and that his clients are well-informed at every step. With a passion for advocating for his clients' best interests, Garry approaches each case with the same care and concern he would apply to his own personal matters. Outside the office, Garry enjoys spending time with his wife, Judith, and their four adult children and seven grandchildren, cherishing the family values that guide his professional and personal life.
