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

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.

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.

Outstanding Attorney

I have nothing but good things to say about Ben. I got a referral from another attorney about Ben during the toughest time in my life dealing with a few charges and one consisting of being a second offense DUI. He was incredibly professional, straight forward, quick to reply, and even kept my Dad inf...ormed with all the details throughout the whole process. The week before court he called my dad and I to discuss with us the plea deal he thought he could get for me which was getting my DUI lowered to another charge. In court, Ben only got the the plea I was looking for but to my surprise he got my other charges dismissed! I would 100 percent recommend Ben. I’m more than satisfied with his service and am truly thankful to have worked with him. My parents are also extremely impressed and loved him! Ben is a genuine person and by far the best attorney in Chattanooga!!
