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!

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.

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!!

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.

After wrecking my car and blowing double the legal limit, I had 4 charges against me. The despair I felt during this time was one of the worst feelings a person could ever experience. I felt like my life was over and there was no way to mend what had been done. I contacted Summers, Rufolo & Rodgers a...nd attorney Ben McGowan was assigned my case. While I knew that McGowan was one of the best attorneys in Chattanooga because of his reputation, I never dreamed my would turn out the way it did. It has been a little while since the incident, and in a few months I will have a clean record. Because of the zealous representation that Ben McGowan displayed, I will be able to further my college education and one day enter the workforce without the worry of a criminal background. If you need legal assistance, Ben McGowan should be your first call. I'm very glad he was mine.
