Great Attorney!

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.

DUI dropped to impaired driving 16-20

I was arrested for a DUI 1 month before my 21st birthday. Ben McGowan was wonderful to work with. He was very good at explaining what was going to happen and was able to get my DUI charges dropped and I plead guilty to impaired driving 16-20 with diversion after 1 year. This was an amazing outcome. 3... months after my arrest, I got a ticket for drug paraphernalia and Ben also gave me advice on how to handle it. He always emailed, text or called me back. I highly recommend Ben McGowen

Excellent Attorney

Ben McGowan is extremely smart and a very fast thinker. I hired him for a civil case against the Department of Safety for the state of Tennessee on an illegal seizure of a vehicle and also hired him to defend a family member that was facing serious drug charges. Mr. McGowan schooled the attorney ...from the Department of Safety in court. He was clearly on a much higher level than the state attorney and he could not be out smarted. I was very impressed at how fast he would think and respond with excellent facts that were backed up by the law. We got the vehicle back with no fine. He was also able to get a family member out of serious drug charges by getting it moved to drug court where this person could actually get help and clean up her life. I do not think many attorneys could have accomplished this. He prevented years of prison time and got her help instead. I highly recommend Mr. McGowan!
