Bowen's behavior as a Superior Court Judge is deplorable. As a professional, I have never observed such arrogance, lack of self-control, theatrics and obvious bias. Bowen is unfit, period11/01/2016 09:45 PMContact reviewer

Will see in January if Bowen will have the capability of seeing through an abusive -documented-lying--documented--court player who never wanted to be a full-time dad but now using children as pawns.11/13/2014 11:36 AMContact reviewer
