Bio

Thomas Grayson-Meritt Bowers, law partner in Piper & Bowers, P.S.C. and beloved son of founding partner Barbara Bowers, passed away on June 10, 2025.  Thomas was an excellent attorney and colleague.  After graduating from University of Illinois-Chicago’s John Marshall Law School in 2016, Thomas passed the bar in California, Illinois, Washington D.C., and Kentucky.  He was recruited to practice at Piper & Bowers, P.S.C. in 2022 and immediately made an impact specializing in medical malpractice defense.  Soon thereafter, he earned his partnership in the firm with his outstanding legal skills, knowledge, and character.  The firm’s clients relied heavily on Thomas’s skills, his attention to detail, and his ability to make even the most complex issues understandable.  Thomas’s spirit will continue to guide Piper & Bowers, P.S.C. as we all seek to live up to the example he set as a lawyer and a human being.
