THE BEST HANDS DOWN!!

This is by far the best attorney I've had. Easy to contact,quick to reply, super friendly, and extremely helpful getting my speeding ticket reduced down.

Simply the best!

I had never been in trouble with the law in my life, so when I was wrongly charged I did not know where to turn. I am so grateful I found Rebecca! I could not have found a more understanding and compassionate person than Rebecca. My personal and professional life were at stake. My profession requires... a clear criminal history. She listened intently, without judgement and immediately put me at ease. Her knowledge of the law and professionalism is impressive. She was always accessible and kept in contact. She actually answers her phone when you call her! All charges against me were dropped! If you want results call her!

A Beast In The Courtroom

I had the pleasure of having Rebecca Powers serve as my attorney for a DUI case. She was the only lawyer I contacted who answered her phone immediately. Throughout the entire process, she contacted me and kept me informed on any updates or changes. She even showed up to the arraignment, which I felt ...was really going above and beyond for her client. During the trial, she pleaded my case beautifully and navigated the courtroom effortlessly, even while facing an unrelenting prosecutor. I was facing possible jail time, which she was able to get suspended. I highly recommend Rebecca Powers for anyone seeking an attorney who gets the job done and has their best interest at heart! 5 stars across the board!!!!

Highly recommended!

From the initial phone call through the completion of my trial I cannot express how pleased I was with Rebecca Powers. She responded promptly, professionally and in an extremely positive manner. I felt relieved after our initial meeting and was confident I would be represented in the nest possible ma...nner. She was waiting for me outside the courthouse, just to make sure I could find the right room and gave me reasonable expectations for the outcomes of my hearing. She explained my side perfectly, very precisely and professionally. The case was dismissed! I will use her for any future legal matters and would highly recommend her to anyone else.
