Benjamin Logan McGowan

I had a domestic violence issue which Ben was very helpful in dealing with. After looking at the details of the arrest he advised me that while I could hire him he thought my case was one I should be able to navigate myself. He laid out what could and might happen and after appraising my own cognitio...n opined that I should be ok dealing with the DA myself. Taking his advice my case was passed and the threat of conviction - no matter how slim - removed from my shoulders. He took plenty of time to go into details, ask many of my bemused questions and helped my feel more positive. Which in such a situation was like mana. He then followed up after the case went to court, answered more of my questions on the phone and was generally the embodiment of what one could hope for in legal advice. All of this done without charging me a penny.

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

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.

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.

From the moment my wife and I met Ben, we were at ease. We knew we were in good hands. Ben is very trustworthy and very knowledgeable with Criminal Law. Being falsely accused and charged with shoplifting and my wife being charged simply because she was with me, we thought the entire Justice System wa...s against us. Ben fought for us, saving my wife's career by getting her charges dismissed before appearing in Just Busted and coming to an agreement with the D.A. (a feat in itself) to eventually have all charges dismissed and expunged from my record. We are very pleased with the outcome and have Ben to thank for it. Hopefully, we will never have to work with Ben again in the future but if I ever do need a Lawyer, Ben is the guy!
