On Chula Vista's Third Avenue, Garry J Bowman is a California State Bar Certified Specialist in Family Law who has maintained a solo practice at 637 Third Avenue since 1982, following twelve years in local partnerships and the San Diego City Attorney's office. The firm handles divorce, child custody modifications, and support calculations alongside a probate and estate-planning practice that structures wills, revocable living trusts, and pour-over instruments — documents frequently coordinated with life-insurance policy designations managed by agents including Joe Finch - State Farm Insurance Agent. A University of Michigan Law School graduate, the founding attorney also served as a Judge Pro Tem in San Diego County Family Law Court. Trust administration and probate petitions address California estates exceeding the $184,500 gross-asset threshold, guiding executors and successor trustees through inventory, appraisal, and distribution at facilities throughout the South Bay, including senior communities at Fredericka Manor Retirement Community in Chula Vista. Complex estate matters involve A-B trust funding allocations, generation-skipping transfer tax exemptions, and Heggstad petitions to confirm real property titled outside the trust corpus.
