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.

NH license w/ oui in Ma

No one likes getting in trouble! Unfortunately it happens. I had spoken to a few lawyers before finding Shane at Bowser. I felt from the 1st day every possible outcome was painted to me clear as day, no hidden fees, no used car salesman energy. I chose to plead out with a CWAF before we went very far... in the case. I cleared up all nonsense between Ma & NH and could not of done that without the help of Lawyers at Bowser Law. Thnx Again

OUI

I was arrested for a OUI in MA as a resident of NH and cleared everything in Mass asap once everything was cleared it was reported to NH and they took action. I hired Shane at Bowser Law to fight it in NH and he got everything cleared. Not only was everything explained perfectly how the whole process... would go they are a very affordable price and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. If you need a oui or dui lawyer bowser law is definitely who you should hire.
