Shane is who you want to represent you.

Shane is great, he kept me well informed and worked hard to achieve a desired outcome for my case. Can’t recommend enough.

From hire to licence restoration!

Shane was phenomenal from the start. I had a unique and challenging case: two OUIs within six months. I also had previous ones. I thought I was done for. He was calm and reassuring without promising the moon. He walked me through the process, and his calm kept me calm, too. I was also going through a... family emergency at the time, which kept me away from home. He worked with me and the court system to ensure I could be present for and handle that without court dates and the like becoming too burdensome. I cannot overstate his professionalism and his ability to do what he does. I thought I'd be in jail. Instead, I am days away from getting my license back. Not every case can end with zero charges and you walking away. That's just how the law works. Evidence matters. But if it can be done, I am telling you, Shane will make it happen; and if it can't, he will get you the absolute best outcome possible. The care I received also went beyond the courtroom. I also had to appear at the DMV hearing, and Shane represented me there at no additional fee. I don’t know if this is their policy, but for me, they were there from the first call until license restoration. I hope I never need a lawyer for this stuff again, but if I do, I would definitely work with Shane. If you need a lawyer, I suggest you call him right now!

Incredible DUI Defense Lawyer

Shane was nothing but fantastic to work with. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful along the way. Any time there was any new information or change in the case, Shane would immediately call to inform me and to discuss next steps. Shane wouldn’t sugarcoat anything. He would only give his honest p...rofessional opinion. He is a strong negotiator and it was very comforting knowing that I had Shane in my corner fighting for me. I would highly recommend Shane to anyone who would need him.

Exceeded my expectations

I can’t say enough good things about Shane and the team at Bowser Law. This was my first time ever being arrested, my first DUI charge, and my first time hiring a lawyer, so I was extremely stressed and overwhelmed. From our first meeting, Shane was knowledgeable, personable, and made me feel comfort...able. He kept me informed throughout the process and always made sure I understood what was happening. Shane was able to get my DUI charge (a criminal offense) reduced to negligent driving (a traffic violation) with no additional license suspension beyond the 180-day administrative suspension I was already serving for refusing a breathalyzer. Afterward, an unexpected separate suspension came up that could have resulted in another 12 months. Shane worked with the DMV and, using his knowledge of the law, was able to get that decision rescinded. I truly could not have gotten through this on my own. This could have been a completely different outcome for me, and the relief of knowing I’m getting my license back, moving forward with no criminal charge on my record, and getting my life back means more than I can put into words. I’m incredibly grateful to Shane and the team for having my back and going above and beyond for me. If you find yourself in a situation like mine, don’t wait to hire Shane. I highly recommend him and Bowser Law.

Professional Attorney with Relieving Communicative Skills

Attorney Goudas was extremely helpful throughout the process of handling my case. I always felt that I could reach out to him with any questions or concerns that arose at any time, which was a very comforting feeling. He was able to resolve my case to a fine and other penalties that would not limit m...y ability to continue on the career path that I am currently on. I would highly recommend Attorney Goudas and Bowser Law to anyone in a similar situation that may be concerned with the charges they have received.
