Patricia Murphy McGowan

We chose Patricia McGowan-Berngartt because she demonstrated the qualities, experience, and dedication that are essential when handling a personal injury case, particularly one involving a pedestrian accident. From our first interaction, Patricia displayed extensive knowledge of personal injury law ...and a strong understanding of the complexities surrounding pedestrian accident claims. Her experience in dealing with insurance companies and navigating the legal process gave us confidence that our case would be handled professionally and effectively. Her office's convenient location near Rockville was also a significant factor, making communication and meetings more accessible. In addition, she has a capable and supportive staff (Sarah Gonzalez) that provides valuable legal assistance and helps ensure that important details are not overlooked. What stood out most was Patricia's confidence, compassion, and empathy. She took the time to listen carefully to our concerns, answer questions thoroughly, and make sure we understood every step of the process. She explained legal terms, procedures, and expectations in clear, concise language, making a potentially overwhelming situation much easier to navigate. Patricia is exceptionally detail-oriented and demonstrated a commitment to gathering all relevant evidence. She emphasized the role and importance of documentation and logging important and relevant details that can play a critical role in a personal injury case. She also followed through on obtaining and providing police body camera footage, showing her dedication to uncovering all available facts and evidence. Throughout our interactions, she maintained consistent communication through follow-up calls, emails, and updates. We never felt left wondering about the status of our case because she made it a priority to keep us informed and prepared for what came next. Patricia also provided realistic expectations regarding the legal process, potential outcomes, and the next steps should a civil lawsuit become necessary. Her willingness to discuss medical treatment, doctor visits, and physical therapy demonstrated her understanding that recovery involves both legal and physical challenges. Most importantly, Patricia showed perseverance and a genuine commitment to seeking justice. She demonstrated a willingness to go the extra mile and advocated aggressively when needed while remaining compassionate and supportive throughout the process. Her professionalism, dedication, and client-focused approach made her the clear choice for representing us. Thank you Patricia and Sarah.

I was hesitant to hire a lawyer and put it off for several months. The first time I met Patricia I was relieved because she explained my options and throughout the whole process I always felt she was there for me and always had my best interest in mind. She fought hard to get what she felt I deserved... and wouldn’t compromise for anything less. She took my bad experience and turned it around in a good way. Thank you again Patricia. You are awesome.

Mrs. McGowan was very professional and ensured all of our needs were meant while handling our Automobile Accident case. She was always available for questions and prompt with replies to questions. I was pleased with the settlement she received for my case. And I will refer her to anyone needing Atto...rney services.

The legal team that helped with my case was Mike McGowan, Patricia McGowan, and Jennifer McCartney. They were a great team and very good about keeping me updated with my case. Both were very kind, patient, responsive, efficient, and professional and together they provided fast results. I highly recom...mend Mrs. McGowan and Mrs. McCartney for all your legal needs.
