I was in a position where I needed a lawyer to defend me in a DWI case. Being from Chelmsford myself I knew Mike and his family from growing up in town and going to school with his sister and being a couple a years ahead of Mike. I also knew his younger brother as I was his J.V. hockey coach. This family connection actually made me feel apprehensive.

However, I am a daily reader of the Lowell Sun and knew Mike had represented some high profile clients in the area and had proven them not guilty in DWI trials in the past. I spoke with two of his clients and they could not say enough good things about him. I also spoke with some “”heavy hitters”” or “”people in the know”” down at Lowell District Court who also said that Mike was the BEST lawyer around.

I called Mike and set up an appointment. After calming me down and reassuring me everything was confidential, Mike agreed to take me on as his client at a reasonable price. I told Mike the truth about me and my situation warts and all. I was completely HONEST with him. He in return was completely HONEST with me and most of all I felt he was not judging me nor did I feel anything said in his office was going to make it out of that office. This was extremely important to me.

Mike explained to me my options very clearly and thoroughly. I did some checking with the Registry after and he was completely right in everything he told me. I had 3 or 4 options and Mike did not “”push”” me into what would be easiest for him. Nor did he sugarcoat the seriousness of my situation if we went to trial.

I chose to go to trial. Mike kept me updated and informed of the process all the way up to the day of the trial. Mike even visited the scene of my alleged DWI, taking pictures and making himself aware of being at the actual scene and what allegedly took place.

The day before the trial Mike spoke with me and told me what to where, what time to get there and what to expect.

The day of the trial Mike kept me calm told me to be quiet and he would do his best. I knew he had a 70 percent “”not guilty”” rate but you still never know. During the trial I actually felt bad for the prosecuter and the police officer who testified. Mike blew both of them out of the water with his professionalism and his cross examination of the police officer had the police officer tied up in knots.( I think the police officer left there wondering what just happened to him!)

I also forgot to mention the jury selection. Mike was able to quickly read the prospective jurors profiles and was able to get rid of any potential juror that might have been biased towards me.I was very comfortable with the jury Mike had selected for me.

In the end after just 25 minutes of deliberation, I was found “”NOT GUILTY””. I shook Mike’s hand and could not thank him enough. Mike Bowser is the BEST lawyer,especially for DWI’s, in the state.
Sincerely,
Sean
