Criminal Defense

Chris was exceptional in providing me my first call legal advice. I met him, he was down to earth! He clearly stated what was and wasn't on my charges. In my case, life for me was going great, I'm gainfully employed, working long hours with not a care in the world when some old criminal charges of a ridiculous nature showed up on my record. Chris represented me, had the charges dismissed and my life is continuing on the same track of righteousness. Chris was so ever fair in the cost of representing my case. I am forever grateful for finding him. Chris is clearly a credit to his profession. God bless,

Excellent Lawyer

Chris, is the most kinds man I ever met. I went to him because my doctor told me to before my back surgery. I never had to go to court or worry about any doctor bills. Chris told me the don't worry about anything, just get better after my surgery an that was the only thing i had to do. Chris would call just to check up on me an to see if there was anything I needed. Chris didn't just become my lawyer, he became family. I don't know any other lawyer out there that is like Chris. Now Chris will be our lawyer from now on for my husband , I, and my daughter. Chris thank you an your teammates for helping me out with my case. Your the best..

C.S.

Chris was absolutely wonderful not only as a lawyer but as a person! He helped me thru one of the hardest times of my life and could not have made it any easier for me. Always very quick to respond to any of my emails r phone calls. Would never think of using any other attorney.

A step ahead of the rest...

Attorney Christopher T. Powell, Jr. provided excellent legal advice, professional performance at all times, and a winning outcome. Detailed and concise answers when possible to my questions and concerns. The response time to a phone call was very responsive and very timely when in the office. Additionally, Attorney Powell's staff and assistance was as professional and responsive as his, and I believe this is as important as an experienced lawyer. This is one of the best experiences I have had with a legal professional in many, many years of business. Attorney Powell would be my first call, if the need were ever to arise in the future. Thank you for the great work Chris!

Christopher T Powell Jr

Experience counts! Chris Powell believed in me and used my honesty to my advantage. The gentleman had confidence in his ability and thorough knowledge of the law. I was frightened because it was my second DUI, I did not dispute that I was guilty, however my BAC seemed extreme. Chris Powell worked hard to disprove findings against me and succeeded in bringing a decision I could agree with. He also provided me with a contact at his firm, Lisa Barrett, who was knowledgeable and comforting in his absence. If you need representation, I suggest you call an experienced lawyer. Christopher T. Powell Jr. is that and more.
