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.

The Best

Hired Ben for my child. Ben showed compassion and skill when other attorneys promoted their success. Ben has that success and acute understanding of criminal law that led to the best, justified outcome in a fraction of the time we had anticipated. Worth every penny since it led to our child gainin...g their life back.

Phenomenal Attorney

We were referred to Ben after experiencing the worst day in our life. Words can never express the gratitude we feel for Ben. He is honest, compassionate, understanding, supportive and just a decent man. He immediately responded when we contacted him and was never more than a call away. He took time t...o listen and explain what to expect, how to proceed, and made us feel at ease in what we felt was a living nightmare. When we talked to him we felt like we were the only and most important case he worked. He never made us feel embarrassed or ashamed, he showed us compassion and understanding with a horrible life experience. He kept true to his word and much to our amazement had all the charges dismissed on the first court date. He expertise in legal proceedings is Phenomenal, he knows the laws, and is a true professional that does his job exceptionally well.

Excellent Attorney

Ben was extremely helpful during a very stressful time during which I was battling legal issues. He gave very helpful advice on how I could be proactive to help myself in court. Very confident which in turn helped my confidence. My charges were dismissed. He kept me informed throughout the whole proc...ess. I would recommend Mr. McGowan to anyone in need of an attorney. I'm very appreciative of his services and advice.

Solid Work

I had a couple of charges, including a DUI, when I went with the Summers firm and Ben. Throughout the proceedings, Ben was clear about the situation, explained the options thoroughly, and ultimately succeeded in getting the desired outcome. He's a down to earth guy who isn't afraid to say what needs... to be said.
