Handled a difficult infra family inheritance dispute with a family limited partnership. Great result and would highly recommend Dan to anyone looking for a probate trial lawyer.

We had a horrible situation where the trustee (our step mother) would not make distributions of our late father's trust income and principal. Attorney McGowan was fantastic in quickly resolving the situation.

Dan did a great job at representing me during my appeal. He was honest, compassionate, and fair with me and made everything simple as possible. I won thanks to Dan McGowan.

First and foremost I want to thank Mr. McGowan for my legal counsel. Going through legal issues is never a fun experience. Daniel gave me the peace of mind that everything was going to be ok.I got the impression that Mr. McGowan is very respected in and out of the courtroom. He knows what he is doing.He will always take time out of his day to re-assure you that your case will be handled appropriately. The few times I was not able to talk with Mr. McGowan, his staff was more than willing to give me any updates or info I needed to know.Thank you.I am living my life now more aware of the legal system and how to avoid being taken advantage of by unscrupulous persons who are motivated by greed and dishonesty. The last time I saw Mr. McGowan he gave me some good advice on that. He also told me it was "My pleasure" to help and serve me. I will never forget you Daniel Thank you very, very much. -Dr. Rothschild

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 commercial 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 the smartest. It is with great pleasure that I fully endorse Mr. McGowan without any reservation but rather many accolades.

Mr. McGowan responded to my initial call the same day. He explained exactly what was happening in terms I could understand. Mr. McGowan told me step by step what he would do for me and formed a solid plan on how I could proceed. He did exactly what he said he would do and kept me informed every step of the way. The fear of my situation was greatly diminished. I never felt out of touch with Mr. McGowan and he gained my complete confidence. Mr. McGowan gets my highest recommendation.

I had a consultation with Daniel McGowan. He listened intently to my concerns and addressed them thoroughly and completely. He has the experience and knowledge to get things done without wasting your time. I highly recommend him for both his competence and his professionalism.

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 our family's property from being stolen by my brother, who is a lawyer. I would give him a "10" if I could - beyond exceptional!

Even though Daniel McGowan is licensed to practice law in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, he told me that the majority of his clients are in Florida, "Because Florida is where the money is.". That statement alone provides a great deal of insight about Daniel McGowan's character, and morals. He is a dishonest attorney who does not follow through on what he says that he will do. We had a meeting at his Cleveland, Ohio office, and at that meeting Daniel McGowan told me that he would help me with a very difficult trust situation that I am involved in. He asked me to provide him with some documentation regarding this trust situation. Later that same day, I emailed a large number of files to Daniel McGowan containing the information that he had requested. After that, he did not return my telephone calls, and he did not respond to my emails. Almost two weeks after our meeting, Daniel McGowan finally sent me an email to let me know that he still had not thoroughly reviewed the materials that I had emailed, to him. After that email, he continued to ignore my attempts to get updates. Time was going by, and nothing was getting done. Then, after one month had gone by, he finally responded to an email that I had sent to let him know that I was still waiting to hear back from him with an email giving me the brush off. Dealing with Daniel McGowan was a complete waste of time; time that I could have used to find a capable attorney to represent me.

Attorney McGowan successfully represented our family in the removal of a financial institution as trustee of our family trust for self dealing and purchasing their own financial products and for poor investments and breach of fiduciary duty.

We were clients of Daniel McGowan as our lawyer. We would like to take this opportunity to tell you what a thoroughly outstanding job he did for us in our case. he was the complete professional in handling of our case and kept us informed from start to finish. We greatly appreciate and thank him for his trial work.

Without reservation, I highly recommend Dan McGowan. He and his partner, Adrian Thomas, took on a complicated Undue Influence case in estate litigation and prevailed in securing my inheritance. Jurisdictional issues involved 3 states in the course of litigation. I employed 7 other attorneys during a course of 12 years to try and resolve the litigation. Dan went the extra mile to insure the preponderance of evidence would ensure a positive outcome for me.
