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!

Solid Work

I had a couple of charges, including a DUI, when I went with the Summers firm and Ben. Throughout the proceedings, Ben was clear about the situation, explained the options thoroughly, and ultimately succeeded in getting the desired outcome. He's a down to earth guy who isn't afraid to say what needs... to be said.

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.

Simply the best

After wrecking my car and blowing double the legal limit, I had 4 charges against me. The despair I felt during this time was one of the worst feelings a person could ever experience. I felt like my life was over and there was no way to mend what had been done. I contacted Summers, Rufolo & Rodgers a...nd attorney Ben McGowan was assigned my case. While I knew that McGowan was one of the best attorneys in Chattanooga because of his reputation, I never dreamed my would turn out the way it did. It has been a little while since the incident, and in a few months I will have a clean record. Because of the zealous representation that Ben McGowan displayed, I will be able to further my college education and one day enter the workforce without the worry of a criminal background. If you need legal assistance, Ben McGowan should be your first call. I'm very glad he was mine.

Great Attorney!

Ben helped our family get through an incident with our 20 year old son who was picked up on a minor drug charge. Ben explained the potential outcomes clearly, he outlined a succinct action plan, and was available for questions anytime we needed to get in touch with him. On the day we went to court he... was able to guide the outcome to the absolute best case scenario! He treated us all with respect, and gave great counsel to my son; not only legal but personal as well. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars. I would recommend Ben to anyone needing legal help in the Chattanooga area. I feel very lucky that we were able to retain him for our case.
