Firm Focus and History
We devote our practice entirely to the areas of criminal defense and bankruptcy.
The Law Office of Jerry R. Lowe was established in 2006.
Previous Employment Summary
I was admitted to the California Bar in 2004 after graduating from the Claude W. Pettit College of Law at Ohio Northern University. During law school, I was privileged to serve as an extern for the Honorable Evelyn Lundberg Stratton, Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, as well as clerk for one of Ohio's finest bankruptcy firms.
A native Californian, I returned from Ohio to work as an associate for Deitrich, Glasrud, Mallek and Aune in their transactional business law department. I then moved from transactional law into litigation for the criminal defense firm now known as Ciummo & Associates until 2006, when I opened the Law Office of Jerry R. Lowe.
Activities and Awards
I currently serve as an executive board member and general counsel for Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) International.
What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?
We make every effort to help our clients understand all relevant legal issues involved in their case so that they are able to make decisions toward a favorable resolution.
Are you willing to review documents prepared by clients?
We view our clients' input as an invaluable ingredient toward accomplishing their outcome goals and welcome their assistance.
Are you willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?
I will discuss with potential clients the pros and cons of representing themselves in their situation, so the client can make an informed decision. At the point potential clients decide to represent themselves, for liability concerns I cannot provide legal advice or coaching.
Why did you decide to be a lawyer?
I realized this was the area that I could use my abilities to help people.
What work experience and education helps you be a better lawyer?
As far back as I can remember, I have been extremely competitive at everything I have done. That competitiveness has translated into aggressive lawyering on behalf of my clients and provided them with every opportunity for a favorable resolution to their case. In addition, the work ethic I have developed as a small business owner and throughout my education has prepared be to be a successful practitioner.
Why did you decide on your primary area of practice?
I didn't. It chose me, and as it turns out, I enjoy criminal defense and bankruptcy. In both of these areas of practice, I am often times the only one on my client's side. It is rewarding to obtain success against the odds.
What do you like best about your career?
I love to learn and this career requires me to learn every day.
Tell us about your law firm:
I have a cheerful paralegal who is very attentive and effective at assisting my clients.
What are your strengths and style?
So many times, clients are left in the dark wondering about the status of their case and what the plan is for obtaining the desired result in their case. I listen to my clients and then walk them through the entire case, explaining what I will do and how I need them to be involved.
Personal Interests:
I enjoy backpacking, camping, hunting, fishing and golf.
