Steven M Vaillancourt Attorney

Divorce
Spousal Support

Criminal Defense
Defending a client charged with a crime is the most important and sometimes difficult role for a lawyer in our adversary Court system. Criminal Defense Lawyer Michael Bowser is a systematic and thorough trial attorney, but his approach to defending the accused is quite simple: PROTECT THE CLIENT. That protection takes the form of zealous advocacy in each and every case. Zealous advocacy requires a superior knowledge of MA, NH, and ME criminal defense law and legal procedures, but it also requires a criminal defense lawyer who is creative and confident enough to challenge the government at every turn, especially in a courtroom. The defense never rests.
DUI/DWI
Attorney Michael Bowser was named a “Board Certified DUI Defense Specialist”* by the National College for DUI Defense in March 2010.
Wrongful Death
Some common dog bite injuries are to the face and can leave permanent scarring or disfigurement. Other common dog attack injuries include broken bones, lacerations, severed limbs and even wrongful death. The psychological damage done by a dog attack is often as severe and long-lasting as the physical damage is.
Traffic Violations
Police stop vehicle for multiple moving violations, speeding and attaching wrong plates. Young driver admits to consuming “one drink” at a family gathering. Police note open “buzz ball” container in vehicle. Driver participates in field sobriety tests roadside amongst four officers and heavy traffic flow. Defense challenges validity of field tests and uses booking video to show client’s clear speech, balance and appropriate behavior at station. Not Guilty verdict following trial.
Sex Crimes
Attorney Michael Bowser is a Board-Certified DUI Defense Specialist with an outstanding reputation and a proven track record of success across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. With extensive experience in both state and federal courts, Attorney Bowser has skillfully defended clients against a wide range of criminal charges, including drunk driving, major drug offenses, sexual assault, domestic violence, assault and battery, fraud, theft, and various traffic violations.
Fraud
U.S. District Court, Boston, MA. Client and co-defendant found not guilty following two week jury trial on indictments charging five (5) counts of mail fraud each, 18 U.S.C. section 1341. U.S. Attorney and A.T.F. allege that defendants conspired and schemed to defraud two (2) insurance companies of fire insurance proceeds following arson at restaurant operated and owned by defendants. Defense focuses on jealous husband as possible suspect in arson and status of restaurant at time of fire as small but growing successful venture, lack of financial gain or financial motive by defendants to start fire and pursue insurance money which did not cover actual losses.
Theft
Misdemeanors
"Michael Bowser recently representing me on a superior case out of rocking ham County.. I was facing two Felonies and two misdemeanor charges possibly looking at upwards of two years in state prison.. Mike worked extensively on my case until he was able to get all Felonise and one mistermemer drooped,, I am extremely happy with his representation of this case and would recommend him to anyone I am extremely happy with his representation of this case and would recommend him to anyone with facing charges in New Hampshire,, My life was riding on this and mike made sure I didn’t even get probation, never mind two years in state prison,, Thank you Mike for the unbelievable job you did on my case,,,,"
Embezzlement
Business partnership dissolves following dispute over money and embezzlement. Client charged with forging and/or misappropriating company funds for personal use in excess of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000). Defense investigation through subpoenaed bank records shows that alleged victims were actually committing theft by check and forgery while the defendant was out of country with his family. Charges against client dismissed by Court.
Drug Crimes
In Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine the collateral or after-conviction effects of a conviction for drug possession, sale or manufacture can adversely affect a client into the future in several of the following ways...
Assault
"I have had the misfortune of having to hire an attorney twice in the last three years on two separate charges, and both times due to the incredible work of Michael Bowser I got the justice that I deserved. One case being an OUI where the case was dismissed and the most recent an assault and battery charge, in which case I was facing a felony conviction that would have ruined my career and life. Throughout an agonizing 21 month process of numerous continuations and court appearances, we finally went to trial, a two day affair that ultimately led to a not guilty verdict and the biggest burden of my life lifted from my shoulders. Michaels preparation, dedication, tenacity and professionalism were all evident throughout the entire ordeal, and without his expertise I am convinced I would have been found guilty of the charges. The witnesses against me were not truthful in their testimony and through Michael's artful questioning and skill in the courtroom he was able to expose them for what they were, and that eventually led to the not guilty verdict. I highly recommend Attorney Bowser to anyone in need of a lawyer who cares about his clients, who shows respect for his clients, and has a knowledge in the courtroom that is unsurpassed."
Homicide
A New Hampshire native, Shane returned to Concord, New Hampshire to work in the Criminal Bureau of the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office. There, Shane began by working in tandem with the New Hampshire Department of Employment Security to prosecute cases of unemployment Fraud in the New Hampshire Superior Courts. Shane was eventually promoted into the Drug Prosecution Unit of the Criminal Bureau of the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office, and was commissioned as an Assistant Attorney General. In addition to being on-call to respond to active homicide investigations and Law Enforcement Officer Involved uses of lethal force investigations, as an Assistant Attorney General he worked to prosecute crimes including drug felonies, and civil asset forfeiture resulting from narcotics investigations. During his time at the Attorney General’s Office, Shane successfully drafted appellate briefs and orally argued in front of the New Hampshire Court, securing favorable judgements for the State of New Hampshire.
Arson

Client found not guilty after trial. Arresting officer admits that he has no evidence that defendant had prior knowledge that alleged victim had taken job in Mall where he regularly had his hair cut. State can’t prove “knowing” violation of restraining order.
Forgery
Manslaughter
Hit and Run
Police respond to report of hit and run collision where vehicle left scene after side swipe collision. Driver is found short distance away with missing side mirror on passenger side. Arrest follows field sobriety tests. Defense excludes.12 post arrest breath test for failure to comply with proper testing sequence. Booking video also utilized to show driver’s sober behavior at station. Maine OUI charge successfully deferred and dismissed to Driving to Endanger. Lifetime lookback consequences of Melanie’s Law avoided for MA resident/license holder Jan 2024

Premises Liability
In many cases, a person assumes the blame for an injury when he or she slips and falls. However, in some situations these types of accidents are the fault of the property owner. Some common causes of premises liability lawsuits include...
Property Damage
Police respond to report of one car accident with property damage. Driver and vehicle have left the scene before police arrive. Neighbors direct police to driveway short distance away where damaged vehicle is parked. Alleged driver is one of several people at the home. Only evidence of operation is a hesitant admission by the defendant that she was the driver. Prosecution lacks evidence to corroborate admission and prove operation beyond reasonable doubt. Defense prevails on Motion for Required Finding of Not Guilty.

Personal Injury
Attorney Bowser helped my family resolve a personal injury claim for my cousin after he died of an unrelated illness. He arranged for another lawyer to handle probate for us and paid for it out of his fee. He also negotiated a settlement in the case with the VA that ensured my cousin's daughter received a settlement. All this was without cost to the family and he did so at a reduced fee as part of the agreement with the VA so that they would reduce their claim on the estate. He is very compassionate and patiently guided me through not only the settlement, but also the arrangements with Attorney Sean Keough in Rhode Island who expertly handled the probate matter. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone as someone who will find a way to look out for your interests to the bitter end. Our family is very grateful.
