Very satisfied
Being a nurse, it was very important to me that I found the best possible attorney to represent my case. John was very professional, efficient, and easy to communicate with. He was always available to answer any questions or concerns that I may have had throughout the court process. After a lot of ha...
Raven, I'm happy we able to answer all of your questions and guide you through the process. This was a case I was willing to fight to the bitter end until we got exactly what you deserved, a dismissal. Thank you for trusting us and being patient and attentive. I wish you the best in all your future endeavors.

Exceptional Lawyer!
I called John Powers with an urgent situation on behalf of my mother. From the get-go, I was put at ease. He took the time to listen to my story and did not make me feel rushed. Throughout our case, the communication was exceptional. Very important to me was knowing that if I needed to speak to m...

He is a beast....
John has saved me twice and worked miracles. He saved my life over 2 different DV cases. At first I questioned myself my life and john but after I realized he is not a joke in that court room I felt at easy. I trusted John with my life that was upside down and he turned it back to normal. He treats y...

The best attorneys on the planet!

The other girls father who is a city detective who filed charges against my daughter 4 months later. Th...
Thank you, Thomas, for the kind review. I'm glad we were able to help. Your daughter deserved the favorable outcome we were able to deliver.

Attorney who will fight for the best possible outcome
I hired John when my 20 year old son was arrested and facing very serious and potentially life-altering charges. John knew from the start what needed to be done to get the best possible outcome. He walked us through and kept in touch with us the entire time. If a phone call was placed or an email sen...
Michelle, thank you for trusting your son's case to us. Thank you, also, for your patience with the process. It was a pleasure to work with everyone in support of your son. We appreciate the kind words in your review.
"John is an aggressive and skilled advocate. if your life or liberty is on the line you want someone to fight for you and John will fight hard for you."
"Powers is a powerful lawyer and advocate! I met John while attending the National College for DUI Defense's summer session, which was recently hosted on the campus of Harvard's law school. I saw him in action and was most impressed with his work. I left with two thoughts: 1. If I was charged with a crime in his practice area, he would be my first call for representation; and 2. I need to add his name to my rolodex for potential client referrals. If you are in trouble and need some legal help, give John a call."
"I have had the pleasure of knowing John for over a decade and know him to be a skilled, diligent, and zealous advocate for his clients. I have referred him criminal cases in the past and would not hesitate to do so again in the future. John is an excellent lawyer who fights hard for his clients."
