Expert Attorney and Wonderful Person!

Mr. McGowan helped our family during a very stressful and emotional legal issue. Not being from Chattanooga, we did not know where to turn for help. Fortunately, an attorney friend of ours highly recommended his law practice. From the beginning, Mr. McGowan was very understanding. He deligently a...nd thoughtfully worked on our case and, thankfully, was able to get the case dismissed. Even if he hadn't been able to get it dismissed, we knew that he had done his best. We are so grateful for his expertise, professionalism and personal attention. In addition, Mr. McGowan is a kind and caring person which really helps when a family is suffering in a legal situation. We highly recommend Mr. McGowan for your legal defense issues.

Best lawyer hands down!!! Look no further!!

Mr. McGowan is the most wonderful lawyer! I would recommend his services to anyone. Unfortunately my husband got into a very bad situation and Ben was able to take care of everything respectfully, all while being there for our family. He’s an angel on earth. If you are ever in a situation and need so...meone truly on your side, call Ben. We got the best outcome with him representing us!!

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.
