Benjamin Logan McGowan

After wrecking my car and blowing double the legal limit, I had 4 charges against me. The despair I felt during this time was one of the worst feelings a person could ever experience. I felt like my life was over and there was no way to mend what had been done. I contacted Summers, Rufolo & Rodgers a...nd attorney Ben McGowan was assigned my case. While I knew that McGowan was one of the best attorneys in Chattanooga because of his reputation, I never dreamed my would turn out the way it did. It has been a little while since the incident, and in a few months I will have a clean record. Because of the zealous representation that Ben McGowan displayed, I will be able to further my college education and one day enter the workforce without the worry of a criminal background. If you need legal assistance, Ben McGowan should be your first call. I'm very glad he was mine.

Ben helped our family get through an incident with our 20 year old son who was picked up on a minor drug charge. Ben explained the potential outcomes clearly, he outlined a succinct action plan, and was available for questions anytime we needed to get in touch with him. On the day we went to court he... was able to guide the outcome to the absolute best case scenario! He treated us all with respect, and gave great counsel to my son; not only legal but personal as well. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars. I would recommend Ben to anyone needing legal help in the Chattanooga area. I feel very lucky that we were able to retain him for our case.

There are not enough stars to show how excellent an attorney Ben McGowan is. My daughter was facing two of the most serious charges imaginable, in the criminal court system. She was facing, possibly spending the rest of her life in prison. I didn't know what to do or where to turn. My sister suggeste...d calling Summers, Ruffalo and Rodgers Law Firm. I was directed to Ben and I thank God I was. Even before I retained him he was there for me. He told me I needed to get her representation right away(even if it wasn't him) and that he would go speak with her, knowing I had not retained him at the time but still caring enough to do that and he did just that. We went through the legal process for 2 years and Ben was there every step of the way in explaining how each step of the process worked, explaining it so that I could understand it or until I understood it. His knowledge of the law and the legal process is second to none and he knows how to get things done. He is respected and liked by his colleagues and he will always shoot you straight. So many times through this process I would freak out and Ben, in this calm manner always put me at ease and I knew he was taking care of it. I can't emphasize enough how important it is to have the best representation possible and in hiring Ben you get that and so much more with his compassion, vast knowledge and prowess. You will be so thankful you chose him, I am. Against all odds Ben made this happen and my daughter will be home soon. He gave us our life back and I hope anyone reading this and facing criminal issues with the court will give him a call and retain him. That will be the best decision you make.

I retained Benjamin McGowan for a matter I had before the court. I found him to be easily accessible and more than willing to take the time to be available when I had questions regarding my issue. Ben deftly maneuvered my particular case through a complex and biased legal process, ultimately obtaini...ng a result I was/am completely satisfied with. I noticed the respect in which the court officers treat Ben, obviously a complete professional. If I were to ever have cause to need a criminal defense attorney I would definitely retain Ben.

I retained Mr. McGowan for an impossible DUI case (stone cold guilty with high blood test). Ben's excellent guidance and knowledge of the system resulted in an unbelievable outcome in my case. Ben is always professional, extremely competent, highly intelligent, and very persistent. Even though my ...case took over two years to resolve, he worked the prosecutor diligently to obtain a favorable outcome. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone, hopefully I will never need him again but he is the best.
