Fowler’s career is defined by high-stakes litigation, including a $32.5 million verdict in a multi-vehicle collision case and an $8.1 million award for a client who suffered a traumatic brain injury. In 2024, he secured a $4.8 million verdict that was recognized by VerdictSearch as the top T-bone collision result in California. These outcomes reflect his broader focus on ensuring that individual plaintiffs retain the resources necessary to hold defendants accountable in court.
