TIM L. BOWDEN
NASHVILLE SCHOOL OF LAW • JURIS DOCTOR
Tim Bowden grew up on Tennessee’s Cumberland Plateau, where hard work was simply part of life. While attending Tennessee Tech full time, he started and operated his own landscaping company, learning firsthand what it meant to work long hours, meet responsibilities and build something from the ground up.
Tim attended law school at night while working full time selling construction equipment during the day. The job introduced him to people from every walk of life and shaped the way he would eventually practice law.
Tim Bowden grew up on Tennessee’s Cumberland Plateau, where hard work was simply part of life. While attending Tennessee Tech full time, he started and ran his own landscaping company: long hours, real responsibility, and something built from the ground up.
He worked full time during the day and attended law school at night. In 1992 he opened Tim Bowden Law with a simple belief: working people deserve someone willing to stand up and fight for them when an injury turns their lives upside down.
“I learned to relate to people and appreciate what they go through in their everyday lives at work.”
