Biography

Sterling J. Bowers brings a unique combination of determination, understanding, and legal acumen to every case he handles. Born and raised just north of Texico, New Mexico, his early years were spent ranching, participating in rodeos, and working in agricultural construction. These experiences instilled in Sterling the values of hard work, perseverance, and integrity from a young age. He pursued his undergraduate studies at the University of Nebraska and later graduated from the University of Wyoming College of Law. It was there that he found my passion for trial law, evidenced by his success in every trial competition he participated in.

Sterling's legal skills were further refined at the nationally recognized Spence Law Firm in Jackson, Wyoming, where he mastered personal injury, wrongful death, and civil rights litigation under the guidance of the legendary trial lawyer Gerry Spence. His time there involved several high-stakes cases, which often resulted in seven-figure verdicts and settlements. Despite his courtroom successes, the call of home was too strong to ignore, and he returned to the Llano Estacado region to serve as an Assistant District Attorney. In this role, he prosecuted a wide array of criminal cases, further honing his instincts and abilities in front of a jury.

Sterling am a natural leader with a deep ability to connect with people, and his greatest strength is his ability to tell his clients’ stories with sincerity, passion, and effectiveness. His approach is assertive yet grounded, driven by a robust work ethic and a sincere commitment to achieving justice. Whether he is in the courtroom or out on the ranch, he remains true to his roots.

Outside of his legal practice, Sterling enjoys day working, making music, staying active, making his wife laugh, and spending quality time with loved ones.
