Advised me not to hire him

I had a domestic violence issue which Ben was very helpful in dealing with. After looking at the details of the arrest he advised me that while I could hire him he thought my case was one I should be able to navigate myself. He laid out what could and might happen and after appraising my own cognitio...n opined that I should be ok dealing with the DA myself. Taking his advice my case was passed and the threat of conviction - no matter how slim - removed from my shoulders. He took plenty of time to go into details, ask many of my bemused questions and helped my feel more positive. Which in such a situation was like mana. He then followed up after the case went to court, answered more of my questions on the phone and was generally the embodiment of what one could hope for in legal advice. All of this done without charging me a penny.

DUI Stupidity

I will admit that the first time I met with Ben I was very dejected, humiliated and defeated due to my stupidity. Going through my whole DUI process with Ben and watching him work makes me extremely happy that I choose him. Ben representation of my case and myself is top notch. I am very happy wit...h the outcome of convictions and dismissals. Ben is very personable, easy to speak with and will let you know right where you stand as far as your case is concerned

criminal case

Very knowledgeable, professional and kind and carrying. I would recommend him to any one that has a need for an attorney. He did a great job in my husband case. If we ever need attorney for any need we will call him. I want to thank him for the great job he has done for our family!

Absolutely the Best!

When I had my first meeting with Ben I was dejected, demoralized, and had a pretty hopeless DUI case. Ben was treated me with respect and honesty. He concurred with my own assessment that there probably wasn't much that could be done for my case. BUT, he was willing to try to see what could be don...e and from that moment forward he worked to salvage my reputation and my future. My husband used the word "tenacious" to describe Ben. With each court date and meeting with the DA, I became more hopeful. In the end, Ben's negotiating skills, professionalism, and tenacity resulted in an outcome no one could have predicted. I went from a certain DUI conviction with jail time, hefty fine, and license revocation to a lesser charge plea and am on a path to a diversion. My future is bright and has hope and it is due to the wonderful job that Ben did in my case.

Thankful I placed my trust in Ben McGowan

I certainly feel like fate led me to Ben McGowan and I was very pleased with the results. I placed my trust in him and how he wanted to handle my case and everything worked out because of it. Not only is he very knowledgeable when it comes to his job, but his great instincts also accompany that knowl...edge. I'm very grateful for his work on my case.
