In 2007, while going through a divorce, I ended up drinking and driving and getting caught. Mr. McGowan was incredibly polite, kept me informed of my options, and represented me truthfully. He was able to lessen my sentence, but still allow me to learn my lesson. When I had another isolated incident in 2008, he represented me again, but with character references to show I had begun to put my life back together. He again lessened my sentence, but held me accountable for my actions, encouraging me to stay the course and stay out of the bars. I felt he cared about my character, as well as my case. And I have listened to his advice and turned my life around. Grateful for his time and knowledge of the system.
