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.
"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."
