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.

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!

Highly Recommended!!!

My legal situation was a scene out of a bad movie and being prior law enforcement, I needed an excellent attorney I could trust. A respected mentor and friend referred me to Ben McGowan and after meeting with Ben, my horror movie seemed less scary. Thanks to Ben, not only were my charges dismissed an...d my record expunged, but my confidence was restored. I want to thank Ben McGowan and the Summers, Rufolo & Rodgers law firm from the bottom of my heart. Intelligent, savvy, and compassionate...I would highly recommend Ben McGowan. Simply the best!

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.

Very Pleased

Mr. McGowan was the consummate professional with immense knowledge of the ins and outs of my DUI situation. He settled my case and had this expunged from my record. A DUI is such a stupid and demoralizing thing and there is no coddling; nor should there be. He is straight forward and sets proper e...xpectations at each turn. I can't imagine anyone better to represent me. Very pleased, indeed.
