About Benjamin

Ben McGowan joined as a member of the firm, then known as Summers & Wyatt, in 2012 following a decade of practice in Massachusetts, New York, and Tennessee. A native of New York City, Ben first moved to southeast Tennessee to attend the University of the South where he served as a university proctor, fraternity president, and the student chief of the university fire department. After graduating in 1994, he lived briefly abroad before returning to the United States and, in 1998, attending law school in Boston at Northeastern University. After graduation, he served as a law clerk to the Massachusetts Justices of the Superior Court until he was selected, in 2002, as a trial attorney by the Committee for Public Counsel Services, where his practice consisted exclusively of defending serious felony charges carrying threatened sentences of 10 years of penitentiary incarceration at a minimum. Since relocating to Chattanooga in 2006, Ben has devoted his practice primarily to the representation of individuals accused or suspected of serious crimes.
