Traffic and criminal charges dismissed

Mr. Powell and attorney Madeline Gibson worked with me over several weeks for a very reasonable price. My reckless driving, failure to appear in court and failure to comply with a court order charges were all dismissed. I was very happy with the help they gave me. Definitely recommend.
