This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

She understanding and she willing to fight for your behalf that's what I took away from our conversation

Just from her consultation on the phone with her, If you haven't hired her better do it fast she took a 10yr weight off my shoulders just from listening to her talk to me about my case .In process of hiring her.

Attorney Phylicia Powers is a absolutely STUNNING!

I was facing 20 plus years if convicted on all charges in state court. Also my indictments were facing federal adoption. Speaking with Attorney Powers I immediately felt comfort and was at ease knowing I was in good hands. Attorney Powers did not make me any promises but assured me that she will give... me the best representation seeking the best outcome. She done just that! Through Attorney Powers litigation, negotiations, and experience she was able to stop the federal adoption and negotiated a probationary sentence I could not refuse. Thank you so very much Attorney Powers!

My heart is full of joy!

Where do I start: A parent’s worst nightmare. Attorney Powers(#NCCU Eagle Pride) and her team were amazing. They walked us through a very stressful legal matter that could have changed the trajectory of our child's life. She was a straight shooter, no chaser and informed us from the start, this will... take 9 months to a year to work out. I can’t praise her & her team enough. She was empathetic to my emotions/panic. I could go on and on… the bottom line is…..the case was dismissed and everything will be expunged from my child’s records. Call Attorney Powers and Robert Law Group, I highly recommend them.

Trafficking Dismissed

We just wanted to thank Attorney Phylicia Powers for all of your excellence and hard work toward my criminal case. Me and my family truly appreciated everything you have done for me. This criminal case has been a life changing event and it would have been different if we wouldn't have found you. Yo...u’ve given me my life back and I can't thank you enough for fighting for me. God bless you, you are truly a outstanding attorney.

Attorney Powers is the Best!!

I’m so thankful that I came across Roberts Law Group. Due to the fact that this was the first time I had been in any legal trouble. I was scared out my mind. Once I spoke with Sabina and then later with Attorney Powers I was sure I made the right decision for legal help. Attorney Powers ensured me th...at was I was facing was difficult but if I wanted to pursue my case that she was willing to be by my side. I’m so grateful that she was able to get my my charges dismissed and allow me to reunite with my daughter. I strongly advise that if you need legal help please seek attorney Powers. She’s not only an amazing lawyer but down to earth person as well. Thank you for your kind words and all your hard work..
