Outstanding Attorney

I have nothing but good things to say about Ben. I got a referral from another attorney about Ben during the toughest time in my life dealing with a few charges and one consisting of being a second offense DUI. He was incredibly professional, straight forward, quick to reply, and even kept my Dad inf...ormed with all the details throughout the whole process. The week before court he called my dad and I to discuss with us the plea deal he thought he could get for me which was getting my DUI lowered to another charge. In court, Ben only got the the plea I was looking for but to my surprise he got my other charges dismissed! I would 100 percent recommend Ben. I’m more than satisfied with his service and am truly thankful to have worked with him. My parents are also extremely impressed and loved him! Ben is a genuine person and by far the best attorney in Chattanooga!!

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.

Highly Recommended!!!

My legal situation was a scene out of a bad movie and being prior law enforcement, I needed an excellent attorney I could trust. A respected mentor and friend referred me to Ben McGowan and after meeting with Ben, my horror movie seemed less scary. Thanks to Ben, not only were my charges dismissed an...d my record expunged, but my confidence was restored. I want to thank Ben McGowan and the Summers, Rufolo & Rodgers law firm from the bottom of my heart. Intelligent, savvy, and compassionate...I would highly recommend Ben McGowan. Simply the best!
