Excellent lawyer

Shane was attentive and knowledgeable through every step of the process. I hired Shane after our initial phone call to discuss my case. He provided multiple helpful consultations before my court hearing, and continued to support me through the entire reinstatement of my license. I felt that I was in ...good hands every step of the way, and ended up obtaining a favorable outcome. I would recommend Shane to anyone looking for an attorney in MA.

Excellent for reckless driving case

Attny Goudas was extremely professional and helpful. Communication was clear, and he responded quickly to email or phone questions. My 19 yr old daughter was charged with reckless driving due to high speed in NH. Attny Goudas was able to get the charge reduced all the way to a general traffic violati...on of several hundred dollars fee (less than a speeding ticket), so no points on the license, no loss of license, no hit the insurance, no criminal record, no court appearances. Thank you Attny Goudas! This was the best possible outcome. Very much recommend your work to others in this situation.

NH Reckless Driving

It was excellent working with Mr. Goudas! He was very kind, and explained everything in an understandable way. I especially appreciate the updates and quick replies to emails. He was able to get my reckless driving (on account of high speed) reduced to a general traffic violation with a fine. This... didn't carry a license suspension or any points to be added to my license. This was the best outcome I could have hoped for, and I am very impressed and grateful! While everyone's case is different, I'm certain Mr. Goudas will do his best work to get you the most advantageous outcome possible.

Excellent Attorney

I hired Shane to represent me in my recent OUI case in NH. Shane was excellent from the start. On the initial consultation he accurately outlined exactly what I should expect as the process played out and was obviously extremely knowledgeable in the area. I communicated to Shane my desired outcome..., a quick resolution, and he delivered. Shane was obviously prepared with the facts of the case and it was immediately obvious to me he had good relationships with all of his colleagues on the other side, DA, judge, etc. I walked out on the first day with a favorable resolution and Shane explained to me exactly what to expect through the rest of the process and that he would be there for any issues that may arise. I should also mention that Shane always promptly replied to any of my questions, which is extremely reassuring to anyone in this type of situation. If the need arises, I recommend Shane without any hesitation. You want him on your side.
