Knowledgeable but Communication Challenges

Elizabeth Rippy Bowes handled my municipal law case with a level of expertise that was evident from her impressive background and recognitions, including her Lawyer of the Year awards. However, while her understanding of public finance law was clear, the communication during the process felt somewhat lacking. Responses were thorough but often delayed, which made it difficult to stay informed. While I appreciate her legal acumen and the resolution we achieved, I would have benefited from more consistent and timely updates, especially during the more complex phases of the case. For those needing a skilled attorney in municipal or public finance law, her experience is undeniable, but be prepared for a slower pace of correspondence.

Exceptional but Niche Focused

Working with Elizabeth Rippy Bowes on our municipal bond financing project was a highly professional experience. Her deep expertise in Public Finance Law and Municipal Law was evident from the start, and her strategic approach to navigating complex regulatory frameworks was invaluable. What impressed me most was her ability to translate intricate legal requirements into actionable steps for our city's team. The final outcome was seamless, and we achieved our funding goals ahead of schedule. While her fees were reasonable, I noted that her responsiveness could occasionally lag during high-demand periods. That said, her meticulous attention to detail and recognition as a Best Lawyers 'Lawyer of the Year' speak volumes about her capabilities. If you're dealing with public finance or municipal law matters, she's an outstanding choice.

Capable but communication gaps

Elizabeth Rippy Bowes is undoubtedly a knowledgeable attorney with a strong background in municipal law and public finance, as evidenced by her recognition as 'Lawyer of the Year' in 2017 and 2019. Her experience at Bracewell LLP and nearly two decades in practice certainly lend credibility to her expertise. However, my experience was mixed. While she provided sound legal advice for our city's infrastructure project, the communication was sometimes slow, and follow-ups required multiple reminders. The initial consultation was thorough, but the responsiveness afterward didn’t always meet expectations for a matter as time-sensitive as ours. Her technical expertise in public finance was clear, especially when navigating complex bond issuance regulations, but the interpersonal aspects of client relations felt lacking. Overall, her legal work was solid, just be prepared for delays in communication.

Her deep understanding of regulatory frameworks and her strategic guidance were invaluable in securing favorable outcomes for our city's infrastructure bond issuance.

The recognition she has earned, including her multiple 'Lawyer of the Year' titles, is well-deserved. The only minor downside was the billing process, which, while transparent, could be streamlined for better clarity on smaller tasks.
