About Adena
Adena Bowman built her path to law on a foundation in history and a steady progression through immigration practice. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in History from Texas A&M University, College Station, completing her undergraduate studies in 2006. She continued her legal education at South Texas College of Law, where she completed her Juris Doctor in 2012.
Bowman’s early legal work began in the offices of Reddy & Neumann, P.C., where she is recorded as a lawyer in 2011. That early exposure placed her in day-to-day client work and case preparation. Over time she moved into roles at larger immigration firms. Records show she worked at Berry Appleman & Leiden LLP in 2018, a firm known for handling complex employment-based immigration matters, and later at Shoreline Immigration in 2019.
Those positions reflect a steady immersion in immigration practice. Her membership in the American Immigration Lawyers Association, listed from 2012 to the present, underscores a sustained engagement with the profession’s community and continuing education. She has spent more than a decade practicing in Texas, and her professional listings identify Texas as her jurisdiction.
Colleagues and clients who have worked with her describe a lawyer familiar with the practical steps of bringing cases forward. Her experience includes work on employment-related immigration files stemming from corporate and private employers, as well as family-based petitions and administrative filings. She writes and reviews petitions, prepares supporting documentation, and assists clients through various application processes.
Bowman’s practice history shows movement between boutique and larger firm settings. That range exposed her to different types of client needs: individual applicants seeking family-based relief, foreign nationals sponsored by employers, and the procedural demands of consular and administrative processing. Her time at Berry Appleman & Leiden likely involved collaboration on employer-driven cases, while later roles placed her closer to one-on-one client counseling and case management.
Today she is associated with The Law Office of Lindsey J. Harris. Her ongoing membership in AILA points to continued attention to developments in immigration statutes and policy. She practices in Texas and maintains an active presence in matters that require both technical filing work and direct client communication.
She currently practices immigration law at The Law Office of Lindsey J. Harris, handling employment-based and family-based petitions, visa applications, and related client counseling.
