Outstanding Client Service

John Powers is an exceptional attorney. He helped my family during a very emotional and difficult time. He is very professional and will fight to get you in the best circumstances possible. He is also caring, efficient, timely, and trustworthy. He is very easy to talk to and explains things very well... and always respects our private lives. My family feels truly blessed and fortunate to have found John Powers as our lawyer. I highly recommend this AWESOME Attorney.

Attorney John D. Powers Favorable Review

I have know Attorney Powers and utilized his legal services for two decades. He has handled several difficult Superior Court cases involving property rights and I have been very pleased with the results. John is professional, well-rounded, able to appreciate complex issues in little time, and an exce...llent advocate able to convince judges, juries and opposing parties of the righteousness of his clients' positions. I recommend John without hesitation.

Awesome Lawyer

We used John Powers on several occasions to help us in overcoming legal situations and challenges. John is very dedicated, always listened to our concerns closely, did not jump to conclusions, and in a very professional way led our cases to successful closings. We could not have worked with a better ...Lawyer than John! On top of his professionalism, John is a Great person. If another legal situation arises, we will seek John's help again!

civil suit

John Powers was very clear headed and had a great sense of how the case was going to proceed. John was knowledgeable of the law and how to proceed the most efficient way through my 4 year long case. John’s insight was very good. John’s presence at preliminary hearings and trial was very good. John we...nt up against two Boston lawyers, one of them was the owner of the law firm and the other one was a partner. John Powers trial style and presenting was by far superior to theirs. The Judges verdict in my favor (defendant) was an indication of how John presented the facts. The truth was overwhelmingly evident at trial the Judge’s decision was clearly a representation of this. I would highly recommend John for your case. John will go over all the facts, positive and negatives of your case. He will be honest and forthcoming throughout the case.

AAA+ Rated

We have hired Attorney Powers on two occasions, and have been extremely pleased with the positive result in both instances. John provided us with consistent and accurate up-to-date information on our cases, and he was always prepared for our appearances. Court cases can fill the layman with doubt a...bout the outcome, but we were never in doubt about the ability and commitment of our counsel, and we would wholeheartedly recommend John Powers for anyone looking for an intelligent, well respected lawyer.
