The Maryland Family Law Firm VLO is operated by The Law Offices of Dawn Elaine Bowie, P.C.   Bowie will provide limited engagement services online to clients who cannot afford full-service representation.  Bowie authors the popular blog, Maryland Father’s Rights, and has written the Father’s Bill of Rights.  You may read more about Bowie and her law practice on her law office website.

Bowie’s innovative law practice emphasizes fathers who find themselves engaged in custody and/or divorce litigation.  Bowie is one of only a few female attorneys in the country dedicated to father’s rights.  As her VLO website explains, Bowie’s law practice uses the experiences of her clients as dedicated, engaged fathers, to offset gender bias that minimizes or trivializes the importance of good fathers.  She plans to use the VLO to provide legal services online to individuals, both men and women, who need the convenience and affordability of limited legal services delivered through her VLO.
