Bill is one of the premiere DWI defense attorneys in North Carolina and is one of the best DWI attorney education teachers in the country.

If there is an attorney in North Carolina who knows more about assisting those who have been arrested for DWI, I don't know who it is. Bill Powers in my opinion simply has set the standard in this area of the law. Before the power of the State can take away driving privileges from a citizen, it MUST follow certain procedures and prove the crime beyond a reasonable doubt! In my experience, I've seen no one who better holds the State to those standards. He also "gives back" -- sharing his knowledge and expertise with fellow citizens and fellow lawyers alike. Both in the Courtroom as well as the Classroom, he is an outstanding teacher and individual.

I worked for Bill for over 3 years, first as an intern and then as an associate attorney. During my tenure as an attorney, our practice focused almost exclusively on the representation of individuals charged with Impaired Driving. I handled many DWI cases and dealt with many lawyers throughout the state that handle DWI's. NO ONE in this state is as knowledgeable as Bill Powers in the field of DWI defense. His knowledge of the law is only surpassed by his knowledge of the science behind the law. I give Bill my UTMOST recommendation, without hesitation, to anyone charged with DWI in the State of North Carolina.

Bill and I studied together in law school. He was a dedicated and serious student and become one of the best attorneys that I have been associated with over the years.

Mr. Power's reputation as an excellent DUI attorney reaches all the way to Miami...he is that good. He is a lawyer's lawyer, as we say. His credentials are stellar and his client reviews are glowing. Bill is a must hire in N.C.

I am very happy to endorse Bill Powers as a true expert and attorney in DUI defense. Unfortunately, what many people facing a DUI don’t know is that there are literally hundreds of attorneys in any metro area who will handle their DUI. However, maybe only a handful of these attorneys truly know how to defend these complex scientific cases. If you submitted to a blood test, breath test or even standardized field sobriety tests, then you need an attorney who has years of formal training and experience defending these complex cases. Hiring anyone else is usually a recipe for losing. I have known Bill for years, and I can assure you he is one of those few attorneys who has a complete understanding of the science necessary to challenge these cases successfully. Christopher H.

Not only is Bill a highly-trained DUI defense attorney, he has a down-to-earth charm to which juries respond. Moreover, he unquestionably cares about his clients and will leave no stone unturned in defending them. If I had a friend or family member in need, I would not hesitate to direct them to Bill.

Having been a member of the National College for DUI Defense for over 10 years now, and as an annual attendee of two to three national DUI defense seminars, I have been privileged to get to know many of our nation's finest DUI defense attorneys. "Bill" Powers is undoubtedly amongst this select group. His reputation for professional excellence far exceeds the borders of North Carolina. His reputation as a well trained, experienced, ultra talented yet deeply compassionate, DUI defense attorney is not only national but matched by very few. I proudly and loudly endorse Bill Powers. The citizen accused could be in no better hands. Period. The fact that he is a personal friend is but a bonus.

An acknowledged leader in the field of DU Defense in the State of North Carolina. Bill is the premier DUI attorney in the Charlotte area.

Attorney Powers and I are both members of the National College for DUI Defense. Recently we attended a seminar at Harvard University Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts and were paired up in a breakout session. Through speaking with Attorney Powers it was very apparent that he had the knowledge and skill of a great trial attorney. His understanding and comprehension of the DUI laws as well as the science behind it all was impeccable. Without hesitation I highly recommend Attorney Powers for any citizen accused of a DUI or other related charge.

I had the pleasure of attending a workshop with Bill recently. There is no other way to express this: Bill simply has that intangible quality that only the best trial lawyers have. If I needed to find a lawyer in North Carolina for one of my best friends, or for a family member, or (God forbid) for myself - it would be Bill.

When I have any criminal matters in Charlotte I send my business to Bill Powers. Bill has spoken at countless continuing legal education courses to lawyers throughout the state on how to defend dwi cases. With Bill's engineering background, he is effectively able to teach judges and jurors that the state's evidence is junk science.

This is an easy recommendation for me to write. I have an employee whose daughter was accused of a DUI in North Carolina. I am a DUI attorney in Pennsylvania and could not help her from up here. I sent her to Attorney Powers and the result, for her (and by way of extension for me) was fantastic. So I trust Attorney Powers as should you. Call him today.

Bill Powers is an amazing attorney. He stepped in as local counsel on one of my felony cases (he replaced another attorney) and was totally prepared. The amount of prior notice was less than 30 days. His knowledge of North Carolina law and familiarity with the visiting judge was instrumental in the victory we accomplished for a serious repeat offender DUI case, where the minimum jail sentence would have been 16 months. I have now started a new case in NC, and guess who my co-counsel will be!! Bill Powers. He knows the law and he is NOT afraid of a trial. Great combination for a trial lawyer.
