Much less than expected

I’m sorry to say I Chad did not live up to expectations. He seemed was far to passive & unfortunately was often unresponsive. Essential elements remain unresolved years after. QDRO, College planning etc.

Pass

As a current client I can state you should keep looking for another attorney. He is not strong enough to defend cases where you need a bulldog. He's like a puppy.

I used Chad Powers in my nasty divorce

I went to Mr. Powers with my life in such disarray,and i was destroyed, mentally,physically and financially. He saw the big picture, and the light and guided me that way to a satisfied conclusion. He was more than an attorney, but a good supporting friend, and as a father like myself, could understan...d my situation, provided to me the utmost professional representation i felt was top notch.

SIMPLY THE BEST

Chad M Powers is honest, knowledgeable, diligent and kind. He made a very stressful legal situation, less scary by representing me.
