Couldn't Have Had A Better Outcome

After I had a meeting with Mr. McGowen for my case, I knew he was the attorney I needed representing me. He was honest, understanding, and expressed great knowledge from his expertise in the courtroom. At first, it seemed there would be no positive results for me, but miraculously, Mr. McGowen showed... me light at the end of the tunnel and I had hope again. Though it took time, Mr. McGowan was able to get my charges dismissed and expunged. Everyone has their own unique situation, and Benjamin was able to handle mine professionally and delicately with an outcome I truly didn't believe was possible. Picking someone to represent you can be stressful and daunting, hearing others' opinions and experiences is vital in your decision. Be assured that, from my entirely positive experience, I will always recommend Mr. McGowen for anyone who finds themselves in a situation they don't belong in and are needing a way out.

Service with a smile!

As predicted, Ben was able to resolve my case in court today with a very pleasing outcome! Ben is very down to earth and well educated. He showed up on time, exhausted proper commuication with me, and worked a deal with the state that was beneficial for us all. Save yourself the time in searching for... other attorney's and hire Ben! You will not be disappointed!

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

Absolutely the Best!

When I had my first meeting with Ben I was dejected, demoralized, and had a pretty hopeless DUI case. Ben was treated me with respect and honesty. He concurred with my own assessment that there probably wasn't much that could be done for my case. BUT, he was willing to try to see what could be don...e and from that moment forward he worked to salvage my reputation and my future. My husband used the word "tenacious" to describe Ben. With each court date and meeting with the DA, I became more hopeful. In the end, Ben's negotiating skills, professionalism, and tenacity resulted in an outcome no one could have predicted. I went from a certain DUI conviction with jail time, hefty fine, and license revocation to a lesser charge plea and am on a path to a diversion. My future is bright and has hope and it is due to the wonderful job that Ben did in my case.

Ben McGowan should be your first choice in lawyers

Recently, my teenage son found himself in legal trouble. Having worked with Ben McGowan on a previous legal matter involving a family member, our first call was to his office. Ben responded immediately and set up a meeting to discuss the case. He was knowledgeable about the legal aspects of the case ...and had a game plan for achieving the best outcome. Not only was Ben concerned about a favorable result in court, he ensured my son would not face repercussions in the short term (financial aid for college) and the long run (his future as it pertains to employment), while making certain my son understood the severity of his actions. Ben has an encyclopedic knowledge of case law and it is amazing to see him it apply it to specific legal matters. While working with him, he was always available for our questions and concerns. I cannot recommend Ben McGowan highly enough to anyone facing a legal problem. He will put you at ease and you can rest assured that you are receiving the highest quality legal representation.
