At Bowman and Brooke, we believe our duty to serve extends beyond the demands of our basic obligations and job descriptions. Every year, our lawyers and staff members devote countless hours to charitable organizations and pro bono legal work from coast to coast. By devoting time and resources to our communities and working with those who otherwise would not have access to excellent legal representation, we hope to make a significant and lasting contribution beyond the courtroom.
"We care about the communities in which we live and work and believe we have an obligation to invest our time and resources to causes and organizations that align with our firm culture; one of inclusion, diversity and stewardship."
– Kim Schmid, Executive Managing Partner
We not only defend the essential products our families use every day, but we take a proactive approach to promoting child product safety in the communities where we work and live. We sponsor a national organization which provides effective and easy-to-understand product guidelines in English and Spanish. This service is offered free of charge to parents and caregivers. In addition, our attorneys visit local schools to teach proper use of children's products and automotive safety.
As part of our commitment to the future of our communities, we have announced the launch of our inaugural Future Defense Lawyer Scholarship! The Bowman and Brooke Foundation is excited to offer the Bowman and Brooke Future Defense Lawyer Scholarship to assist students currently enrolled in the first year of Law School Studies (1L) who plan to enroll full-time at an ABA–accredited law school for the entire upcoming academic year. Learn more here.
