Chief Comfort Officer

Meet Bowie, Our Chief Comfort Officer

Bowie may not have a law degree, but he is an important member of our team.

An English Cream Golden Retriever, Bowie spends his days attending depositions, mediations, client meetings, and occasionally wandering into an office to remind everyone that work is important, but so are belly rubs. While English Cream Goldens are known for their gentle temperament, calm demeanor, and intuitive nature, Bowie takes his role a step further. He seems to have an uncanny ability to know when someone needs a little extra support.

Whether a client is preparing to discuss deeply personal experiences of sexual abuse, coping with the aftermath of a devastating car crash, navigating the life-altering effects of a traumatic brain injury, or dealing with the consequences of medical malpractice, Bowie provides something that cannot be found in a legal brief: a calm, comforting presence.

Research has consistently shown that interactions with dogs can reduce stress, lower anxiety, and help create a sense of safety. For trauma survivors, that sense of safety matters. We believe that healing and advocacy go hand in hand, and creating an environment where clients feel comfortable, heard, and supported is an important part of the work we do.

Of course, if Bowie were writing this biography himself, he would tell you that his primary responsibilities include greeting visitors, supervising snack breaks, and ensuring that no hand remains unoccupied when it could be petting him. In his professional opinion, constant petting is not only appropriate, it is strongly encouraged.

When you visit our office, don’t be surprised if Bowie is the first one to welcome you. He takes his job seriously, even if he occasionally falls asleep during meetings.

And honestly? Sometimes the best support comes with four paws, a wagging tail, and a tennis ball. 🩷
