Quickly Handled Speeding Ticket

My wife's first speeding ticket ever was received when she was driving her Mother to church! Needless to say, she was very upset. Bill Powers team handled the matter within a couple of days, and prevented an increase in our insurance. We will remain grateful for the peace of mind they have provide...d.

Great result

Case ended in dismissal on both counts. I couldn’t be happier with Bill Powers and Chris Beddow. Thank you for all your help.

A Professional's Professional

Practicing mostly personal injury law, I needed help and guidance with a nuanced DWI question. Bill was there and able to help me with the complexity involved. He is accessible and always willing to help. He is the guy for any DWI or traffic related charge.

Amazing!!

I hired Bill after firing my main Charlotte law firm to help me deal with a situation with CMPD. Bill was amazing throughout. First, his communication is top notch! He responded to my email within minutes after reaching out to him. He listened thoroughly to my story, asked great questions, and then l...aid out his high level approach to how he’d handle my case. I’ll spare the long version here, but in short, Bill was amazing. He was able to help resolve the situation in a manner which could not have been any better. He’s even still working with me to ensure we clean everything up from the situation. I’d recommend Bill to anyone who needs a great attorney, with reasonable rates, and one who will fight for you until the end.

NC DMV problem

My daughter had an issue with the NC DMV suspending her NC license when she no longer had an active NC license - this triggered her current state of residence to suspend her active license. I called Bill and he handled the situation incredibly quickly by contacting the NC DMV authorities to fix the ...problem. Bill truly cares about helping his clients and I highly recommend the Powers Law Firm!

"I am a fellow attorney in the Mecklenburg County Bar, and have planned or spoken at more than 30 continuing legal education programs for attorneys over the past several years, with over 100 attorneys. I have gotten to know Bill well since September 2015, when we first began speaking at attorney seminars together, and he is among the most knowledgeable, prepared, thorough, engaging, and dynamic speakers I've worked with. He knows his subject matter and his audiences well, and it's easy to see why he's such a successful trial attorney. He will be an outstanding North Carolina Advocates for Justice President.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
