By Mark Miller Anytime the law is mentioned to Brent Bowen, family immediately comes to mind. Maybe it’s because he’s a fourth-generation lawyer who received his Juris Doctorate from the same school – Washburn University in Topeka, Kan. – as his stepfather, uncle, grandfather and great grandfather. Perhaps it is his Denton-based, family-led Bowen Law Group with his partner Chrysandra Bowen whose undergraduate degree also was from Washburn While criminal law is one of the firm’s focuses, family law is the other and Brent Bowen believes expanding that area is why his firm won for Best Juvenile Law Firm in the 2015 Best of Denton County voting. He credits his partner for playing a big role. “Chrysandra has been recognized as a Rising Star Texas Super Lawyers in the area of family law,” said Brent, himself honored as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers in criminal defense and a Top 100 Trial Attorney by American Trial Lawyers. “She has worked closely with Friends of the Family to help represent those affected by domestic abuse.” Brent Bowen played two years of college football at Samford University before transferring to graduate at Baylor University. Brent started his criminal law career as an intern prosecutor in Topeka. He returned to Texas as an assistant county attorney as the juvenile prosecutor for the Johnson County Attorney’s Office. Next, he expanded his experience over the next two years with the Denton County Criminal District Attorney’s office, where he rose to the level of misdemeanor chief. He then went into private practice doing criminal defense work. In 2006, he opened his own practice later working with another attorney before joining Chrysandra to open Bowen Law Group in 2008. Like most good businesses, Bowen Law Group earns most of its clientele from referrals from friends’ word of mouth, referrals from community members, past clients and other attorneys. Bowen Law Group’s work goes beyond the law and into the community. “We enjoy sponsoring events with Children’s Advocacy for Denton County,” Brent Bowen said. “We have sponsored their annual golf tournament for several years. Chrysandra also does work with Denton Benefit League, Friends of the Family, National Adoption Day, Legal Aid, and CASA of Denton County.” www.BestofDentonCounty.com
