Mr. Bowser was receptive to my ideas, sympathetic to the conditions of my arrest, believed in me and my innocence (which I maintain to this day). He was incredibly well prepared, analyzed the data, obtained the records and shared and prepared with me a case for trial. He constantly confirmed with me throughout the process a logical approach to our/ my case at trial and it’s many angles. It seems to me that it was in fact OUR CASE and not just his or mine. The trial process itself was masterful. I would recommend that anyone in need of a sharp lawyer with experience in trial cases have no hesitation in consulting with Mr. Bowser. He is a pro and his reputation can only be held as word!

I was recently arrested for a first offense DWI in NH. I was referred to Attorney Bowser by my brother, who heard many positive things about his practice. I knew who Mike was, as we grew up a few years apart in the same town. My initial meeting with Mike went very well, and after his detailed explanation of all the facts and what he intended to achieve on my behalf, I felt alot better and knew I was in very capable hands. This was my first DWI offense, but my driving record was poor and I had been suspended in the past due to being a habitual driving offender in the state of Ma. I am a Ma. resident, and Mike explained to me all the possibilities that may happen as a result of my past record. After going over every detail of the night of my arrest, Mike was able to obtain the video tape of the time I spent being processed in the Police station immediately after my arrest.He was then able to use this tape as a bargaining chip in his dealings with the prosecutor, and was able to arrange a plea of Negligent Operation on my behalf. This charge is not a criminal offense, and his knowledge and familiarity with the system and the prosecutors office without a doubt played a huge roll in the reduction of the charges. As a result of his excellent work, I do not have an DWI on my record, and other than a small fine, my only penalty was an automatic 6 month loss of license in the state of NH, which was mandatory due to the fact that I refused to take the Breathlyzer Test on the night of my arrest. Without Attorney Boswer’s knowledge and expertise, the outcome would have been alot worse and would have had an incredibly damaging effect on my job and my future. The day I appeared in court I overheard another attorney,after hearing that attorney Bowser had my charges reduced to Negligent Operation, remarked how he never gets an DWI reduced down to Negligent Operation. I smiled to myself and realized that my decision to go with Mike was the best decision I could have possibly made. Thank you Mike for your work ethic and professionalism, I am truly grateful for everything that you have done on my behalf.

I highly recommend Attorney Michael S. Bowser Jr., for anyone needing representation. He has helped me with two different issues in the past 3 years.

He did an excellant job representing me in a criminal defense situation. He was thorough and attentive to my issues and we were able to have the case dismissed.

In 2009 he also helped me with a personal lawsuit that was filed against me for property damage that was caused by a faulty refrigerator after my Father had passed away. A nasty downstairs landlord lied about water damage and he was able to negotiate it down to a small settlement.

Attorney Bowser and his Office Staff go above and beyond to ensure you will receive the attention to detail that every one needs in a time of crisis. If I ever need representation again (hopefully never!)…

He is the one I will call. Thank you!

I pleaded guilty to a DWAI ( Driving While Ability Impaired) in New York state. Even though I had settled everything with NY with fines and a suspension of my driving privileges in N.Y. for 3 months, I was faced with the punishment that the MA Registry of Motor Vehicles would hand out to me as a licensed driver and resident of MA. It truly is double jeopardy when a client has to deal with more than one state.

Attorney Bowser secured all the facts of my case and represented me before a Registry Hearings Officer. He is very client oriented and a great listener and communicator. He kept in touch with me via the telephone and e-mail. He is well known and respected by those in high authority in the MA Registry of Motor Vehicles.

Undoubtedly I would have had my MA license revoked for one year if it were not for Mr. Bowser representing me.

I located Attorney Bowser’s name on the website for the National College for DUI Defense: www.ncdd. He is board certified by that institution, and I can only say that he is an expert in his specialty.

I cannot say enough positive things about Attorney Michael Bowser.

Within the first five minutes of my consultation, it was clear that this guy knows the DUI landscape, most specifically the finer points of MA/NH law. While there are all sorts of attorneys who know certain parts of DUI law very well, Michael wastes no time getting to the details that matter and offering his best recommended path.

One more reason to consider Michael is his deep knowledge of both the criminal and thd administrative proceedings. There is a marked delineation here is it’s imperative to find an attorney who understands how they work (and don’t work) together. Michael knows this well – in both MA and NH.

I recommed him without reservation.

Attorney Bowser represented my daughter in two moving violations. My daughter, who is a great student, made some mistakes in her driving and, with Attorney Bowser’s thoroughness, was able to get the best possible outcome. I was amazed by his calm demeanor. It was clear how much Attorney Bowser was respected by his peers as well as the court system. And he showed the respect in return. We are so grateful for Attorney Bowser. I cannot recommend Attorney Bowser more highly.

I handle exculsively criminal cases on the seacoast and I have used Attorney Bowser on a number of occassions as a lawyer to refer cases I could not handle and as a resource of information, particularly on cross-border questions. ie massachusetts and New Hampshire issues. He is rightly held in high regard.

“My case was a 1st offense dui in nh, but would have come back to mass as a 3rd offense, triggering an 8 year loss of license.
There was too much to lose by going with any attorney.

I selected Attorney Bowser because he was able to take ma/nh cases and of the 4-5 attorneys I spoke with initially, he seemed the most knowledgeable about the process and how to handle the case ….as with anything…you never truly know if you made the right choice until you go through the process…..Here’s Attorney Bowser’s results for me:

1. Got the charge of dui in NH reduced to Negligent driving – a simple traffic violation
2. On the day before the judge, the prosecutor at last minute tried to get me to accept the dui 22 hour classroom program as part of the plea deal….Attorney Bowser reduced this to a LADAC eval, which was a simple 1 hour appt.
3. After the case was finished in the courts, it was time to go to the registry in MA….Here again, they found my old records and tried to suspend me for 2 years along with a interlock requirement for 2 additional years….This could have taken months or years to resolve through the normal channel of registry appeals process if at all….Attorney Bowser made a phone call and it was cleared up the next day…Got my license back.

I was able to put the whole thing behind me in less than a year.

There are many attorneys out there who will gladly take a case.
Of those, there are a few really good attorneys.
Then there’s attorney Bowser.
The question I asked myself is how much is at stake?
Do I need an attorney, or the BEST attorney?
My experience has been, it makes all the difference.”

I got pulled over in Enfield NH and charged with oui in NH it was my 1’st offense but in Mass with Emily’s law it would be treated as my fourth. I only went to court twice and he got it reduced to driving to endanger. I had to plead out because of what was at stake, but I know by the way he questioned the cop @ the probable cause hearing at the registry that there was no way I would get convicted. Worth every cent.

Michael Bowser recently represented me in an OUI case in Lawrence, the case was taken to jury trial and his performance in the court room was outstanding. He completely won over the jury panel as well as the judge which led to him successfully beating the case for me and them dropping the charges of the the OUI. I would definitely recommend his service to anyone in need of a lawyer.
