The Ups and Downs of Law Firms with Bowen Law Firm feat. Boë Bowen

Welcome back to The Beef! During today’s episode, we’re setting a new bar for our guests with Boe Bowen from Bowen Law Firm - pun intended. He's joining us in conversation today to tell his story, and reveal the ups and downs of working across many areas of law. Boe attributes his success to his wife having believed in him since they met as teenagers, and celebrates the team of lawyers that enable him to work on such a wide variety of cases. We touch on having difficult conversations with clients, and which areas of law are his most and least favorite to work on. You’ll hear about in-office dynamics and why hiding hiccups from the boss is never a good idea, before hearing about merch, events, and where you can find Bowen Law Firm. Objectivity is a theme of this discussion, and Boe tells the story of how he sometimes goes as far as to recommend that clients don’t move forward with their divorce. His goal is for his clients to make money, not himself, and while he may be accused of bad business for that reason, he loves the work that he does! Thanks for tuning in.
