Cameron Bowman – Criminal Defense Attorney
With over 100 jury trials under his belt, few attorneys have more real world courtroom experience than California Criminal Defense Attorney Cameron Bowman.
Mr. Bowman spent 16 years as a Deputy District Attorney with the Santa Clara County DA’s office. As a Deputy DA, he tried numerous high-profile cases and worked on everything from “cold cases” to prison gang death penalty cases.
Since joining VIB Law, Mr. Bowman has developed a particular expertise in defending clients who have been charged with domestic violence cases.
Bowman’s expertise in this area starts from the fact that he was once on the Santa Clara County DA’s “Family Violence” unit. As a former prosecutor, Bowman can anticipate the district attorney’s next move in these cases- giving his clients an important tactical advantage in mounting an effective defense.
Bowman also has extensive homicide trial experience. In fact, he was named Santa Clara County’s Trial Attorney of the Year in 1998 for his role as lead attorney in a multiple month homicide trial.
Bowman aggressively fights for his clients in court. Or in an appropriate case, Bowman can use his knowledge of local judges and prosecutors to negotiate a favorable result for his clients.
Bowman is a member of LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition) as well as being active and working on issues of drug policy reform with members of the national Drug Policy Alliance (DPA).
His current defense and policy work combined with his prior experience as a member of the Santa Clara County DA’s Narcotics unit gives Bowman a broad knowledge of all aspects of drug crimes. However, Bowman has developed a particular expertise when it comes to marijuana law.
Bowman represents clients throughout Northern California. On a regular basis, he tries cases in the Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, San Mateo, and Alameda County courthouses, among others.
