Top Notch Attorney

In 2014 we were fortunate enough to find Ben to represent our daughter for a DWI. At a time like this, my wife, my daughter and I were very distressed. Ben was very compassionate about our situation and explained the legal process in detail. He operated very comfortably and professionally in the ...courtroom and is respected by both judges and prosecuting attorneys. Ben was able to negotiate a one year loss of license with no additional requirements from the court. We were happy with the outcome and felt the punishment fit the crime. March 1 of 2019 we contacted Ben to represent our daughter for expungement of her DWI record. On March 25 we received notice from Ben that our petition for expungement was granted. It removed any information about this charge from public record. I would recommend Ben to anyone who has the need for criminal defense. You will be in good hands.

Phenomenal Attorney

We were referred to Ben after experiencing the worst day in our life. Words can never express the gratitude we feel for Ben. He is honest, compassionate, understanding, supportive and just a decent man. He immediately responded when we contacted him and was never more than a call away. He took time t...o listen and explain what to expect, how to proceed, and made us feel at ease in what we felt was a living nightmare. When we talked to him we felt like we were the only and most important case he worked. He never made us feel embarrassed or ashamed, he showed us compassion and understanding with a horrible life experience. He kept true to his word and much to our amazement had all the charges dismissed on the first court date. He expertise in legal proceedings is Phenomenal, he knows the laws, and is a true professional that does his job exceptionally well.

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!
