Benjamin Logan McGowan

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!

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.

There are not enough stars to show how excellent an attorney Ben McGowan is. My daughter was facing two of the most serious charges imaginable, in the criminal court system. She was facing, possibly spending the rest of her life in prison. I didn't know what to do or where to turn. My sister suggeste...d calling Summers, Ruffalo and Rodgers Law Firm. I was directed to Ben and I thank God I was. Even before I retained him he was there for me. He told me I needed to get her representation right away(even if it wasn't him) and that he would go speak with her, knowing I had not retained him at the time but still caring enough to do that and he did just that. We went through the legal process for 2 years and Ben was there every step of the way in explaining how each step of the process worked, explaining it so that I could understand it or until I understood it. His knowledge of the law and the legal process is second to none and he knows how to get things done. He is respected and liked by his colleagues and he will always shoot you straight. So many times through this process I would freak out and Ben, in this calm manner always put me at ease and I knew he was taking care of it. I can't emphasize enough how important it is to have the best representation possible and in hiring Ben you get that and so much more with his compassion, vast knowledge and prowess. You will be so thankful you chose him, I am. Against all odds Ben made this happen and my daughter will be home soon. He gave us our life back and I hope anyone reading this and facing criminal issues with the court will give him a call and retain him. That will be the best decision you make.

I retained Benjamin McGowan for a matter I had before the court. I found him to be easily accessible and more than willing to take the time to be available when I had questions regarding my issue. Ben deftly maneuvered my particular case through a complex and biased legal process, ultimately obtaini...ng a result I was/am completely satisfied with. I noticed the respect in which the court officers treat Ben, obviously a complete professional. If I were to ever have cause to need a criminal defense attorney I would definitely retain Ben.

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.
