Excellent Attorney!

Ben helped us tremendously with an unfortunate situation involving our son. He responded to my initial (and all) inquiries very quickly, taking a lot of time to explain everything in great detail. He personally met with our son, and in additional to ongoing communications, guided him to take specif...ic proactive actions prior to his court date. These actions paid off, and at the end of the process, our son’s record was expunged. Ben has maintained legal connections from prior positions he has held in town, and that definitely worked in favor of our son’s case. He was very reassuring throughout the whole process, and at the conclusion of the legal process, he told us and our son he would always be around for help or with any questions we might have, even years down the road. I will be forever grateful for Ben’s assistance and would highly recommend him to anyone. You won’t be sorry you hired Ben McGowan!

Criminal court

Mr. McGowan was extremely helpful during a very stressful time for our family. From day one he was there for us via phone, email and even text. He gave very helpful advice on how I could be proactive to help myself in court. I was facing some serious charges in which he got dropped to minor. He knows... the system and knows where to go and who to talk to, to get the best outcome of his clients. I am not sure we could of gotten through this without his support. He kept me informed throughout the whole process. I would recommend Mr. McGowan to anyone in need of an attorney. I'm very appreciative of his services and advice.

The best Attorney in TN

Ben is the best attorney in Chattanooga. He was able to guide me through two legal concerns regarding criminal contempt. He became more than an attorney but a great support system for my family as well. He cleared his schedule and traveled on several occasions out of his normal practice area and in t...he end helped me get exactly what I wanted. I would recommend Ben to anyone that has any legal need in the TN. Thank you Ben!

Hands Down, Best Attorney!!

There are no words that can describe the feelings and pain you go through when you are charged with a crime and arrested. I went through a long and painful journey for 2 years where I was charged with multiple offenses, including felonies. From the very beginning, Ben McGowan listened to my story and... helped me fight to prove my innocence. Mr. McGowan put my mind at ease during the entire process, provided exceptional service, and was hands down the best attorney. I can remember when Mr. McGowan told me the case was going to trial. My heart stopped when I heard those words. But knowing that Mr. McGowan was my attorney gave me 100% confidence that the truth would come out. Mr. McGowan was able to not only have Attempted First Degree Murder dropped to Aggraveted Assault in 7 days during a surprise preliminary hearing that he had only hours to prepare for, Tampering with Evidence and Reckless Endangerment dropped prior to trial, but he proved to a jury of 12 that I was innocent of felony aggravated assault. I walked out of the court room after the trial with no convictions all because Ben McGowan did a phenomenal job in my representation and because he was able to get to the bottom of the truth, something that is very difficult to do in today's world. If you ever need an attorney for whatever reason, Ben McGowan should be your number one choice. He will not only provide exceptional representation, but he will keep Your mind at ease during the entire process.

The best of the best!

I retained Mr. McGowan for an impossible DUI case (stone cold guilty with high blood test). Ben's excellent guidance and knowledge of the system resulted in an unbelievable outcome in my case. Ben is always professional, extremely competent, highly intelligent, and very persistent. Even though my ...case took over two years to resolve, he worked the prosecutor diligently to obtain a favorable outcome. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone, hopefully I will never need him again but he is the best.
