Extremely Helpful!
I couldn’t be more happy with the services I received from the Powers Law Firm. They helped me get through a difficult case with compassion, and knowledge. Chris Beddow helped on my case, and was in constant communication along with his team. I would recommend to anyone who is need of legal help!

Bill Powers represented a family member in a legal matter and I couldn't be more pleased. It was a tough situation that could have gone either way. Mr Powers did an excellent job of communicating the complexities, describing the possible scenarios, and making recommendations. We felt he gave us hi...

Replied last November 19, 2021WOW, thanks! We love helping people. An important part of our job as lawyers is meeting clients at their point of need. Our legal system has become increasingly complex if not downright confusing at times. It’s totally understandable that most folks don't understand the processes or how or why things work like they do in court. Frankly, I’ve been doing this since 1992 and I still occasionally scratch my head, wondering what may motivate people within the system. What appears to be a simple legal matter may in fact turn out to be deceptively complicated. Lawyers explain things. We go over the law and facts and procedures. In giving any legal advice and guidance, I think it's important for our clients to understand why I say what I say. That provides context and, to some extent, a level of comfort. I hope it helps clients make the best decisions for themselves regarding their individual legal matters and the fact pattern involved. That applies equally to criminal charges and civil cases. I think good decisions are predicated on good information and advice. So, whether it’s a DWI charge or a divorce or a speeding ticket, we want to take the time to go through the different aspects of the case and options. IMHO, working with an attorney and/or law firm with substantial legal experience helps. We’ve seen a lot. In addition to explaining the system to clients, I think it’s also imperative to explain the client to the “system.” That means we take time to explain the nuances of the case and personalize the client. I want people working within the system to know my client isn’t just another case to be cleared. It’s important to remember everyone with legal problems wants and deserves a fair shake. They are not merely a case number. They have concerns and worries too. When a lawyer gets involved with a legal matter, it may be one of the most important things in our clients’ lives. We endeavor to always remember how vital it is to explain the best-case and worst-case scenarios, to go over legal options and rights, to clear up often common misperceptions about how the system works, and thereby provide sound legal advice. Thank you SO MUCH for the very kind review. It's a team effort around here. This review makes our day! Bill Powers
Posted by anonymous | October 18, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes
Fantastic attorney and team
When you're dealing with a legal issue, you want the best of the best. In my opinion, just having the book smarts is not enough. A good attorney needs to know the complexities of the law and understand the nuances of the local court system, and that only comes with experience. When I hired Bill Powe...
Bill Powers
Replied last October 19, 2021Thanks SO MUCH for the very kind review! It's an honor and pleasure to help people through often difficult circumstances. Our system of justice can be pretty scary at times. I think it helps to have someone standing literally shoulder-to-shoulder with you in court who has substantial experience handling cases, explaining how things work in court and what to expect. Part of that involves going over different options, including whether to take something to trial or to plead guilty, depending on the facts and circumstances of the allegations and what the State can prove in court. To be clear, we do not win all our cases. Sometimes we have to give bad news to good people. Through both good and bad, we always seek to be polite, kind, and compassionate. Our jobs involve helping people, not judging them. We like our clients and genuinely enjoy helping people. Our law firm works as a team. We truly believe each client, like each case file, is unique. Our staff is dedicated to meeting clients at their points of need and helping them work through their unique circumstances. Your very kind words make our day! Thanks!! Bill Powers

Replied last December 06, 2019WOW, that's so nice. It really is an honor to help people. It's always great to win. For the record, we don't always win; but, we do our best to help explain the legal system, to be honest about the best and worst-case scenarios, and to be kind through it all. It's awesome to hear someone comment on our care and concern. The court system can be a scary, confusing, and discombobulating place. After so many years in the trenches, we very much understand the importance of explaining the process, meeting people at their point of need, and treating clients like friends/family, understanding we all make mistakes. We work hard to be approachable, personable, and professional. Thanks so much. You made my day! Bill Powers
