The Best Decision You Will Ever Make

Hands down Ben McGowan is the finest attorney you will ever have the privilege to retain. He is compassionate and takes the time to explain in detail what to expect at each step in the process. He is also savvy about how to get things done and move your case through the system. Ben made a very diffic...ult situation less intimidating and gave me his personal attention through the entire process. Best decision you will ever make!

Someone You Want On Your Side

Mr. McGowan represented me in a civil appeal against my former tenant. He returned phone calls in a timely manner, worked consistently on my case, and never let me "freak out" about the pending matter. Whatever we faced, Mr. McGowan handled and had a calm laid back personality while doing so. He r...epresented me very well while representing himself in a professional manner. He definitely knows the law and is comfortable with whatever legal issue you present to him. I would definitely hire Mr. McGowan again and would refer him to anyone who asked me. He was highly referred to me and did not disappoint.

Excellent Attorney

Ben McGowan is extremely smart and a very fast thinker. I hired him for a civil case against the Department of Safety for the state of Tennessee on an illegal seizure of a vehicle and also hired him to defend a family member that was facing serious drug charges. Mr. McGowan schooled the attorney ...from the Department of Safety in court. He was clearly on a much higher level than the state attorney and he could not be out smarted. I was very impressed at how fast he would think and respond with excellent facts that were backed up by the law. We got the vehicle back with no fine. He was also able to get a family member out of serious drug charges by getting it moved to drug court where this person could actually get help and clean up her life. I do not think many attorneys could have accomplished this. He prevented years of prison time and got her help instead. I highly recommend Mr. McGowan!

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.

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!
