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!

Best attorney hands down

Best decision I could have ever made using Mr McGowen for representation. He made me feel at ease and was very reassuring and delivered on my day in court. Best experience I could have hoped for considering it being legal problems.

Highly recommend - Has integrity, compassion, and strong communication

We consulted with Ben in regards to my sister who was facing very serious felony charges, and she also struggles with mental health problems and substance dependence. Ben looked into her case and set up a consultation with us almost immediately, communicating well throughout. His expertise and skill ...with law were clear and strong, but even more important to us is that he acted with integrity, trustworthiness, and compassion. He had an excellent understanding of the complicating mental health and substance dependence factors, and he was knowledgeable and honest about the appointed attorney, prosecutor, and judge on the case. I would highly recommend Benjamin McGowan.
