John T. Powers, Jr.

John Powers is one of the finest, knowledgeable and professional lawyers on Long Island. If you ever need legal assistance for any DUI or DWI defense., he is the lawyer to go with. His fees are also reasonable and he does not nickel or dime you for every minute of his time like some lawyers do. . ...He is the best! Thanks John.

I was in a bad situation after being arrested on a driving drug charge & I refused the chemical test....... Not because I was guilty but because the Officer wouldn’t accept urine as an alternative to the blood test. Something that could of given the same results and I was more the willing to subm...it. Instead he arrested me & said I refused the test. Originally I had legal aid Who didn’t show up to my DMV hearing on two separate dates resulting in my stupidity to continue without a lawyer & the revocation of my lincese. I was also facing jail time & years of probation. I knew I needed real help. I met with John & immediately felt I was in good hands..... he did not disappoint!!! The DA who was stuck on the same offer during numerous appearances with legal aid,, went from 10 days jail & 3 years probation to a walk-thru & 3 years probation after my first appearance with John. As this was unacceptable, He filed motions & was able to get me a hearing before trial. *legal aid put in for motions Twice yet never filed any paperwork on my behalf. I’m ashamed to admit this now but, After one of my appearances, I was annoyed with John because I thought he should of been doing certain things to elemnate some of my charges, Since I had the proof After discussing this with him, he said he knew what he was doing even if I didn’t understand. I kept my faith in him & boy was he amazing. He is a fierce advocate to have in your corner. During my hearing into just 20 minutes of John’s cross examination the Judge took a recess to allow the DA to locate paperwork .... it was during this break the Judge said To John “I could proceed & let you continue beating up on the Officer but, there is no point since I’m dismissing everything.” I have to say although I was extremely relived & happy, I was a little disappointed he wasn’t allowed to proceed because John was mesmerizing to watch. I can’t say enough about his ability in the courtroom. He was extremely prepared & ready to win. Honestly I believe the court knew John had just gotten started & if he would of been allowed to proceed, he would of been able to Prove the Trooper was lying & have him perjure himself. I still have traffic violations to deal with but the majority of my problems are gone. Because of his attention to detail,& his knowledge of the law..... He is a true expert on criminal law .... John’s expertises made it possible To be declared an Illegal Arrest! No jail & No probation. John is dedicated to providing the very best defense He is BEYOND Extraordinary. I couldn’t wait to write this review even before my case was over.... (which at this point should be in traffic court since the only charges left are traffic violations) because I want the world to know how extremely amazing John is. He was able to bring to light some of the Untrue things the officer was saying about me. Once this is over, I hope I won’t have the need for legal help in the further but, if I do I know who to call & I will tell everyone I know to look no further Hands down, John Powers is the Man This review doesn’t have enough stars for a man like John Powers!!! My whole heartily thanks to John

I hired Mr. Powers to handle my DV case after receiving almost no help from legal aide. In less than a month I went from potentially 6 months of twice a week counseling to a one day counseling session. By next court date case was ACOD. John knows the court system and will guide you through this proce...ss step by step.

John Powers came to my rescue during a most desperate time. I first stumbled into his office after having just been wrongfully arrested and evicted from my home. John guided me through the crisis to eventual dismissal of my case. His impeccable knowledge of the criminal justice system allowed him to ...accurately predict the outcome of every court appearance. I never ceased to be amazed as time and time again events unfolded exactly as he said they would. He showed a remarkable attention to detail. Every word, gesture, and facial expression was planned and executed to produce the desired influence on the outcome of my case. John also took the time to explain the rationale behind every one of his actions, spelling out for me the specific goal of each court appearance, and how it fit into the process of having the charges against me dismissed. All of this was very reassuring to me during a time when I found very little to feel reassured about. I would add that his highly professional and efficient staff was a pleasure to work with as well. I cannot recommend John Powers highly enough.

John did an incredible job for me. He is professional, accessible, easy to work with, and extremely effective. I recently had a serious speeding ticket (at least 20 mph over) and a set belt violation in the Village of East Hills. I normally try to handle these things on my own, but was facing a lot ...of points, hefty fines, and a driver responsibility assessment which could have resulted in the loss of my license. Another attorney recommended Mr. Powers to me, and I am grateful that he did. In fact, I was blown away. John was knowledgeable and communicative, always available to answer any questions I had and walk me through the process. Though, ultimately, all I had to do was show up, and he took care of everything. John was able to negotiate both tickets down to parking violations - no points and minor fines. The judge actually stopped to impress upon me how lucky I was that my attorney was able to negotiate such a great deal, as the penalties would have been far more severe. I highly recommend John Powers to anyone looking for exceptional legal counsel. Thanks John!
