Stacy assured us through the whole 4.5 months of waiting for conviction that id be able to keep my job, would be available for work release immediately and would most likely serve 30 of a 90 day sentence in a halfway house. Except i was not released for work for weeks, lost my job because of that, and was told by caseworker that 90 days was minimum. Then when i called to ask why none of what she said would happen is and she said just hang in there. Ive been offered drugs, lost my job and house, threatened over a dollar by goons and am being refused my medication while supposedly being helped. Helping people is not what the system is made for even though she does a good job of convincing you otherwise.

As a client who was dealing with bipolar she was able to get it dropped down to a theft from grand theft and me into an in lieu-of-conviction program in which it will be dismissed.

We had an issue regarding a significant traffic violation in the Akron area regarding my son. We interviewed Stacy via phone as we lived out of state. We selected Stacy as we felt comfortable with her and her defense strategy. She was very thorough and conducted herself in a competent and professional manner. The end result was favorable. I would highly recommend Stacy!!

I would highly recommend Stacy. With so many people against us saying guilty before even hearing our case, she spent hours examining every detail of our case and ended up getting it dismissed!!!

Stacy represented me in a self defense trial that was considered by the state to be felonious assault. The state would not hear my side as they had deemed me guilty from the beginning. I was facing 11 years in prison, my parents would have passed while I was imprisoned for defending my life and the life of my fiance. Stacy's knowledge and experience as prosecutor turned defense attorney delves deeply into the esoteric and seemingly cabalistic reaches of the law. Ultimately, with much effort and armed with that knowledge and truth, she prevailed and I was acquitted. I will forever be grateful to Stacy McGowan. I cannot put into words the level of professionalism, candor and kindness bestowed upon myself and my family by Stacy.

Stacy was appointed by the court to represent me but you would never have guessed that by how hard she worked for me. Tells you the truth even when you don't want to hear it, refreshing change from past attorneys I had that just wanted to pad their wallets. As hard as she worked for me in a minor case I can't imagine how hard she'd work for a paying client ! Got me a fair deal probably better than I deserved. Her years as a prosecutor really show when u see her in court.

The legal process can be daunting. Stacy McGowan has helped numerous people navigate their way through the Court's system and understand the process of what is going to happen.

Attorney McGowan was extremely knowledgeable regarding criminal law. I found her to be down to earth and was able to explain the process in clear and understandable terms. She was a great help during a very stressful time for me. I was glad to have her in my corner.

I worked with McGowan for 15 years as a police officer. She was a very competent prosecutor who was very experienced and well aware of the common mistakes the law enforcement officers make. Unfortunately, prosecutors work for politicians and they tend to move on to other work when elections are lost and Stacy is now working the defense side of things. What this means to a defendant is that you are hiring a defense attorney that knows the faults and shortcomings of most of the officers in Summit County. This can only be to your advantage.

Attorney McGowan assisted me throughout my OVI charge. Although I was convicted, her work resulted with minimal consequences.
