Highly Recommend

I cannot speak highly enough of Ben. I found myself in a terrifying situation threatening my livelihood. His finesse when guiding me through the whole process was exceptional. I was impressed with the amount of time he spent during our initial consultation, gaining a thorough idea of exactly what occ...urred. During my time as a client, he was always readily available and easy to contact. He worked diligently on my case. He has an in depth knowledge of the law and proactive approach. I’m so thankful to have been referred to him. I hope to never need legal advice or representation again, but if I do, Ben will be my first call. If you’re in a situation requiring a lawyer, Ben’s competence and compassion are unparalleled.

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!

Experienced, Personable, Honest!!!

I was charged with a DUI through a bizarre set of circumstances and Mr. McGowan went through all the evidence, guided me through the process completely and was available anytime I had questions he always communicated clearly, honestly and straightforward in a way anyone can understand. When we had t...he opportunity to discuss our case he and had the charges reduced to a traffic violation. I hope I never need an attorney for matters like this again, but if I ever do, Ben McGowan is my first call.

Very Pleased

Mr. McGowan was the consummate professional with immense knowledge of the ins and outs of my DUI situation. He settled my case and had this expunged from my record. A DUI is such a stupid and demoralizing thing and there is no coddling; nor should there be. He is straight forward and sets proper e...xpectations at each turn. I can't imagine anyone better to represent me. Very pleased, indeed.

DUI Stupidity

I will admit that the first time I met with Ben I was very dejected, humiliated and defeated due to my stupidity. Going through my whole DUI process with Ben and watching him work makes me extremely happy that I choose him. Ben representation of my case and myself is top notch. I am very happy wit...h the outcome of convictions and dismissals. Ben is very personable, easy to speak with and will let you know right where you stand as far as your case is concerned
