Solid lawyer from start to finish!

Having Shane as a Lawyer was the right choice. He took the time for me from the beginning with the intake interview, all the way to making sure the court had up to date records of my fines being paid in full. During the process Shane was easy to communicate with, as he would respond in a timely fashi...on, answered all my questions in a way that I could understand and he made sure to get the best possible outcome available to me. I would recommend Shane to anyone going forward. And as much as I hope to never need his services as a lawyer again, he will be my first call if so.

Shane works magic

tricky situation with a hardship license and the potential of loss. Shane somehow worked a deal that on a certain condition I will keep my license and not face penalties.

Responsive, knowledgeable, and worth every penny

A different law firm handled my Massachusetts OUI charge, which ended in a continuance without a finding, not a conviction. New Hampshire suspended my license anyway, reciprocating as though it were one. As a father with a demanding job, losing my license turned my life upside down. That's when I fou...nd Shane Goudas at Bowser Law. He handled every piece of my license case across both states: he won my Massachusetts appeal, got New Hampshire's reciprocal suspension annulled, and resolved last-minute administrative errors himself. He was extremely helpful and responsive throughout, often replying within minutes, and he always made sure I knew what came next. I wish I had gone to Shane from the start, because I doubt I would have gone through any of this. He's one of the few attorneys I know with real experience in out-of-state OUI cases between Massachusetts and New Hampshire. I highly recommend him.

Exceptional Legal Representation from Start to Finish

I cannot say enough positive things about Shane Goudas and the entire legal team. From our very first meeting, Shane demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, knowledge, and dedication to my case. What turned out to be a long, complicated, and incredibly stressful legal process was handle...d with tremendous skill, knowledge and attention to detail. Throughout the entire process, Shane was responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in achieving the best possible outcome. His legal expertise, preparation, and commitment were evident every step of the way. He worked tirelessly alongside his colleagues to navigate a particularly challenging situation and ultimately helped bring it to an extremely favorable conclusion! Having the right legal representation can make an enormous difference, and I am incredibly grateful that I had Shane and his team advocating for me. Their hard work gave me the opportunity to finally put a difficult chapter behind me and move forward with my life. I would recommend Shane without hesitation to anyone seeking an exceptionally talented, dedicated, and trustworthy attorney. I am truly grateful for everything he did for me and my family.

Worth the call

Shane was not only extremely knowledgeable but was able to bring all the technicalities that law has around it to terms that truly helped me understand everything and laid out what was realistic for me to expect. I can’t not praise him enough for this
