Benjamin McGowan – Summers, Rufolo & Rodgers, P.C.

Ben McGowan is a truly exceptional attorney. Over the past year—one of the most difficult and painful chapters of my life—Ben provided steady, knowledgeable, and compassionate legal guidance that ultimately helped bring my case to a full and just resolution. He was responsive, strategic, and alway...s honest with his counsel. Ben never overpromised, but he consistently delivered. He understood both the legal complexities and the human toll of what I was facing, and his professionalism never wavered even in the most trying moments. Thanks to Ben’s efforts, all criminal matters were dismissed, and I now have the opportunity to begin putting my life back together. I cannot recommend him amenough. If you’re facing serious charges and need someone in your corner, Ben is the person you want standing beside you. He is the BEST criminal lawyer I’ve met, and he’s a straight shooter.

Amazed beyond words

I sought out the guidance of Ben McGowan after a second DUI charge, and upon our first consultation, I walked away knowing that he would be the right person to work my case. He was incredibly easy to communicate with and straightforward the entirety of the way, voicing how he thought he would be abl...e to get the charges reduced. He was able to create a best-case scenario for my case, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone facing legal matters. He is an absolutely outstanding criminal defense attorney!

The Best

Ben took my case on extremely short notice and got a favorable outcome. He was very thorough, knows what he is talking about and put my mind at ease after explaining what he thought the outcome would and should be. I thought he did as great of a job as anyone could on short notice. I cannot thank Ben... enough for helping me navigate this issue. He will definitely be my first recommendation to anyone I know if they need a criminal defense attorney. 5 Stars all the way.

Top notch

Mr. Ben McGowan is a compassionate and effective lawyer. During my initial meeting with him, my impression was that he is an extremely good listener and that he cared. Now 6 months later after the conclusion of legal situation I would vouch that he is a good person AND kicks-a** at his profession. In... court, it is evident that he is liked and respected by other lawyers, the DAs, and the court officials. His counsel & representation made a world of difference for my mental well-being at the beginning, and also I believe the positive resolution of case at the end. I am so thankful I was recommended Ben McGowan when I was in need of a lawyer. In my opinion he gives lawyers a good name! His fee was also reasonable. Highly highly recommend.

Skilled Communicator

Ben McGown is a skilled communicator. We were amazed by his rapport with the judge and the DA and he was able to effectively explain the process and goals to our family. His services exceeded our expectations. We will forever be grateful.
