I am an attorney who is compassionate about the needs and wishes of my clients. I have helped clients navigate the legal system in order to achieve their desired results in family law and probate. I have helped them mediate results without the need of litigation but have also gone to trial and received successful outcomes for my clients. I have helped families in crisis fight to get their children back, fight to keep their children safe, fight to receive fair outcomes that protect their assets. I have also helped families in crisis navigate the medicaid system and set up trusts and wills for concerned families.. I have three beautiful children. I have aging parents and in-laws and a passion to fight for children and the elderly. I enjoy helping the elderly preserve their assets and their ensuring that their legacy continues by setting up their wills and trusts. I also understand the needs for documents setting powers of appointment and living wills as they were incredible helpful with my Grandmother passed away.. I enjoy family time including board games, skiing, and being outdoors. There is nothing as magical as the smile and laughter of those you love.

I have devoted my career to protecting people’s legal rights. There is an unfortunate trend that those who have the most to lose in our legal system are often the ones least likely to have the benefit of professional legal assistance.. I started the McKenzie Law Firm to provide legal solutions to people who want a secure plan for their financial future, but who feel as though professional legal advice may still be beyond their reach. I specialize in estate planning and advising people on small business issues. As a father of four and a business owner, I know that time and money are often in short supply. I also know how overwhelming it can seem to properly address all the responsibilities you have in your day-to-day life. As a lawyer, however, I also know what can be lost if things are not handled correctly. I am here to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be.. Prior to starting the McKenzie Law Firm, I spent a decade working as a trial lawyer, helping individuals recover compensation for harm done to them by the fraud, carelessness, and failure of businesses and government agencies to live up to their legal obligations and responsibilities. In that role, I engaged in all types of litigation, including class actions, mass torts, and complicated commercial cases. I am licensed in Colorado and Illinois, and have handled cases in state and federal courts around the country.

I'm a recovered litigator, dog lover, avid theater-goer and Denver native.  An avid mystery reader as a kid, I originally wanted to be a PI, then a cop.  When I was twelve, I decided I wanted to be on the safe side of the law and become a lawyer when I knew the answer to a contract question posed by John Houseman in the movie "The Paper Chase.". I spent the first ten years of my career doing litigation, bankruptcy, banking, troubled real estate and business matters.  But, as my mother said, I'm really a social worker with a law degree - estate planning and administration is what I love!  I enjoy talking to clients about their family, their values and their desires in order to provide strong, flexible, compassionate and creative solutions for their estate plans.  I also can make the difficult task of dealing with a loved one's things after they pass on as easy on you as possible.  And my extensive background in commercial litigation, bankruptcy, banking, and troubled real estate, gives me the tools and knowledge to handle any financial issues that may arise along the way.

Since graduating from Drake Law School and passing the bar in 2003, I practiced law for 12 years in Minnesota - initially at a law firm where I successfully represented Fortune 500 companies, managing their accounts receivable, and then for 10 years on my own, concentrating in bankruptcy and estate planning matters.  After moving to Colorado in 2015, I have spent the last 2 years in the financial service industry at Fidelity Investments and JP Morgan Chase, passing my Series 7, 63, and 66 exams, and acquiring my Colorado Insurance Producer's License.  Recently, I have reopened my law practice to focus on bankruptcy and estate planning cases here in Colorado, with plans to either join an existing financial advising firm or affiliate with a registered investment advisor to provide comprehensive financial advising services..

Hello!  I’m Bonnie Bowles, your neighborhood Personal Family Lawyer®.. My goal is to be your trusted advisor who helps you make the very best personal, financial, and legal decisions for your family throughout your lifetime. I want to help you not just now, but also when you can’t be there so that I can help guide your loved ones through a difficult process.. In short, my sole focus is to help families avoid collapse after the death or disability of a loved one.. My passion for helping families came really from three experiences that shape my practice and how I interact with my clients.. First of all, when I was a litigator I found that hourly billing practically encourages my clients NOT to call me! No one wants that bill in the mail simply because they needed to reach out to me. Now, everything I do is flat fee agreed to in advance. No surprises.. Second, when you don’t plan ahead to determine your own desired outcomes about family relationships or business partnerships, I found that the law – basically a total stranger to you – dictates what happens to you personally, what happens to your family and your children, and what happens to your assets. State law, drafted by people you don’t know, essentially dictates your life. I’ve never seen a situation where state law matched what a client really, truly wanted by the time they had come to me with their problem. Now I help families avoid this scenario altogether by planning in advance, exactly how they want.. Finally, we all know we’re a number when it comes to the IRS, to the DMV, and to the court system. But you don’t have to be a number when it comes to your attorney. You’re not a number. You have values, goals, and aspirations to fulfill, and you have a family. You need an ongoing relationship with a lawyer who will help both you and your family when they need it most. That’s what we provide.. I want you to know you’ve made a big step toward peace of mind simply by reading this.. We have many resources for you so you can ensure your family and loved ones stay out of court and out of conflict, if and when something happens to you. I'd love to share some of these resources with you going forward. Check out my website for the complimentary resources.. As your Personal Family Lawyer® I’d love to start protecting the people you love and everything else you care about today. I look forward to meeting you!
