Highly recommend - Has integrity, compassion, and strong communication

We consulted with Ben in regards to my sister who was facing very serious felony charges, and she also struggles with mental health problems and substance dependence. Ben looked into her case and set up a consultation with us almost immediately, communicating well throughout. His expertise and skill ...with law were clear and strong, but even more important to us is that he acted with integrity, trustworthiness, and compassion. He had an excellent understanding of the complicating mental health and substance dependence factors, and he was knowledgeable and honest about the appointed attorney, prosecutor, and judge on the case. I would highly recommend Benjamin McGowan.

Professional, Diligent & Caring

We contacted Ben with regards to a minor citation our son received. We were dealing with a stressful medical situation when the hearing was approaching and Ben handled everything with the utmost diligence. With our family not being from the area, we didn’t want to take a chance with with a public def...ender. Ben responded to emails promptly, kept us in the loop every step of the way and resolved the issue within a matter of days. Our family appreciates having one less thing to worry about thanks to him! As someone that has worked in the legal field for many years, I would not hesitate to refer his services to family and friends in NY and TN.

The Best

Hired Ben for my child. Ben showed compassion and skill when other attorneys promoted their success. Ben has that success and acute understanding of criminal law that led to the best, justified outcome in a fraction of the time we had anticipated. Worth every penny since it led to our child gainin...g their life back.

Top Notch Attorney

In 2014 we were fortunate enough to find Ben to represent our daughter for a DWI. At a time like this, my wife, my daughter and I were very distressed. Ben was very compassionate about our situation and explained the legal process in detail. He operated very comfortably and professionally in the ...courtroom and is respected by both judges and prosecuting attorneys. Ben was able to negotiate a one year loss of license with no additional requirements from the court. We were happy with the outcome and felt the punishment fit the crime. March 1 of 2019 we contacted Ben to represent our daughter for expungement of her DWI record. On March 25 we received notice from Ben that our petition for expungement was granted. It removed any information about this charge from public record. I would recommend Ben to anyone who has the need for criminal defense. You will be in good hands.

Phenomenal Attorney

We were referred to Ben after experiencing the worst day in our life. Words can never express the gratitude we feel for Ben. He is honest, compassionate, understanding, supportive and just a decent man. He immediately responded when we contacted him and was never more than a call away. He took time t...o listen and explain what to expect, how to proceed, and made us feel at ease in what we felt was a living nightmare. When we talked to him we felt like we were the only and most important case he worked. He never made us feel embarrassed or ashamed, he showed us compassion and understanding with a horrible life experience. He kept true to his word and much to our amazement had all the charges dismissed on the first court date. He expertise in legal proceedings is Phenomenal, he knows the laws, and is a true professional that does his job exceptionally well.
