I highly recommend Mr. McGowan. He took the time to understand my situation before advising me what steps I needed to take. He was easy to talk to, quick to respond and very informative. Despite the fact that he advised me that I needed the services of a lawyer with a different specialty; he was quick to say that he would be available anytime for any questions that may come up. You just don't find people of that caliber anymore. Thankful to have talked to him.

I have a complex family estate and trust situation full of family acrimony. I sought counsel with Mr McGowan after visiting with many other lawyers and being well versed in commecial and professional litigation. Mr. McGowan is heads and shoulders above his peers. He has the utmost compassion, professionalism, insight and ability to sought through the complexities with surgical precision. He is no doubt one of the brightest attorneys I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and potentially

Excellent attorney who handled a breach of fiduciary duty case against a financial institution trustee and recovered damages where the bank was making improper investments. He collected our fees from the bank at the conclusion of the case.

Mr. McGowan quickly and decisively understood all of the issues and advised me extensively bringing both clarity and vision to a process I had been completely ignorant about. He personally guided me through the issues and protected my inheritance from being stolen by my brother, who is a lawyer.

I was most fortunate to engage the services of seasoned attorney Daniel McGowan who practices estate and trust litigation in Florida and Ohio. I feel like God himself sent Daniel into my life as divine providence. I was overwhelmed by a very troubling and complex matter that involved Estate Administration, Probate Administration, Will, Trusts and Estates, Real Estate, Property Division, and Probate and after going through numerous attorneys unsuccessfully who lacked the comprehensive knowledge a

My mom, who had Alzheimer's disease, died in 2012. After my mom's death, my sister proceeded to wipe-out all of our mom's bank accounts in the tune of almost a million dollars. No one except our sister received anything. My siblings and I hired Mr. McGowan to find out how my sister could do this. It was learned that my mom, who didn't remember anyone, had signed a power of attorney to my sister just 4 months before mom's death. My sister used the POA to add her name to mom's accounts as a joint

Attorney Daniel McGowan handled a dispute involving a Trust that I was beneficiary of and upon receiving and taking over my case, he quickly and successfully got me all that I was entitled to receive even though the trustee claimed that no additional distributions could be made due to a "alleged" tax liability. I was very satisfied and would advise any who have disputes regarding a Trust to retain him as legal representation!
