The very best
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 ...

Truly Exceptional
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 ...

Contract Manager
Very impressed with the diligence in which Mr. Powers showed in handling all aspects of my case. I never had to wait for information or wonder if Mr. Powers would retrieve information on my case by the deadline given by the courts. I loved the professionalism that Mr. Powers displayed throughout the ...

Excellent results and great communication.
Mr. Powers provided nothing short of excellence in my defense case, he was able to utilize his experience and knowledge to provide the proof needed to have my case dismissed, he was able to prove that all the accusations made against me where false. I could not have asked for better results, I would ...
Thank you, Bobby. It was a pleasure achieving that result. You deserved every bit of that dismissal.

Great Attorney Great Service
I live in NYC and got serious summon driving from Hamptons.. Everything John promised - John delivered! I am extremely happy with his service and results! I highly recommend him.
"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."
