Since 1974 Woodberry (Woody) Bowen has tried over 1000 jury cases struggling to get just compensation for victims of others' negligence in Workers Compensation and Personal Injury cases including auto, truck and motorcycle accident and injury cases. Every day he battles the often unfair tactics of insurance companies whose practices have tended to get more aggressive in recent years against deserving claimants. The practice includes other litigation like house fire claims, dog bite cases and many more. Too ofter victims try to be their own lawyer, thus sometimes failing to receive thousands of dollars of compensation from insurance they didn't even know they had.

In some of these trials he has represented criminal defendants in capital murder cases and numerous other felonies in Superior Court. He was chosen to defend the person alleged to have killed Michael Jordan's father, James Jordan. Bowen also tries traffic offenses, speeding tickets, and DWI's assaults and other misdemeanors in the District Court. Bowen has special experience in the criminal courts, having been a prosecutor for Robeson County's Guinness Book of World Records Deadliest D. A., Joe Freeman Britt, who put more defendants on death row than any other prosecutor.

In the domestic courts Bowen aggressively fights the difficult battles for child custody, child support, divorce, equitable distribution and other family law issues.
