I hired Mike Bowser for a DUI. He was absolutely amazing. I was so scared that I was going to have to go to jail and lose my license I couldn’t sleep or eat. Needless to say Attorney Bowser was amazing. I didn’t even have to pay a fine. I would highly recommend Attorney Bowser without him I would have lost my job of 20 years. My home my everything! If you are looking for a lawyer for DUI there is no other choice but Attorney Mike Bowser! I am a happy woman!
