Impressive, Absolute Best

In August 2011 I was charged with a DWI. Along with the DUI charge were charges of speeding in excess of 100mph and failure to maintain lane control. There were injuries involved and reported BAC of .19. Although it was a first time offense, the aggravating circumstances potentially meant jail time... and the loss of driving privileges for two years. The ultimate outcome of the trail was not guilty on all charges. Based upon the evidence provided by the state, Bill was able to argue convincingly to the judge that the prosecution could not provide proof beyond reasonable doubt that I was guilty. Watching Bill work during the hour and a half long trial was one of the most impressive things I have ever seen. His knowledge of DUI laws and law in general is impeccable. His arguments and counters were as if he knew exactly what the prosecution was going to say before they did. It was a year and a half before the case actual went to trial but during the entire process, Bill and his team was very responsive to my questions and empathetic to my concerns during that time frame. I had gotten to a point where I felt dejected enough that I was ready to not see another continuance and just get it behind me but Bill encouraged me to keep my chin up and trust him to do his job. I am glad that I did. I definitely recommend Bill Powers be your attorney of choice.

Bill Powers - A pleasure to work with. The only guy to consider calling for DUI/DWI

I recently engaged Bill Powers to help with a legal matter about which I had much stress, and could have conceivable, changed the course of my life. Bill encouraged me through-out the process to stay positive, and let him take care of the matter before the court. I also felt the Bill knew exactly wha...t he was doing, and the when he entered the court room, he was confident and in charge of things. I actually felt a little bit sorry for the DA and assistant DA's once I got to know him and was able to watch how he worked within the system (really impressive). My case was dismissed almost a year to the day of when I was arrested. I couldn't have been more pleased or more sure that the money I spent was so worth it! Looking back, I would have probably paid double up front if I'd have know what the outcome was going to be. I didn't think I even had a chance ...

Great Job From Beginning to End!

Bill did a great job in representing my case. I was charged with a DWI over a year ago and I immediately called Powers and McCarten to discusss my case with Bill. He walked me through the process that was about to set forth and he put me at ease in regards to my disgust with the charges against me ...by explaining my rights and his plan in regards to representing me. I was discouraged many times during the process, but Bill and his staff kept me informed of the circumstances surrounding my case until the very end. His staff was very knowlegable and they were always available when needed. Bill was able to try my case and receive a not guilty verdict. I feel that Bill was very professional in his approach on all levels and I would definately recommend his services to others.

The amazing attorney Bill Powers does it again!

I cannot express enough my gratification to Bill Powers and his team at PowMac. Almost 2 years ago I was pulled over in Waynesville, NC for a DWI. From the very beginning I thought I was set up by an officer that saw me and a friend leaving an establishment on main Street in Waynesville. After ent...ering my friend’s vehicle and pulling out of a parking space, I took about 5 seconds to turn on my lights and apparently that was too long of a period to be driving without lights and I was pulled over. I was asked to do sobriety tests in a gravel parking lot with a steep grade, I did as I was instructed until I was asked to give a breathalyzer and refused. I was then immediately handcuffed, arrested and taken to the police department for booking. It was all completely unjustified. After much research I called Bill and asked him if he would represent me. Bill has an incredibly friendly, nice, informative and extremely knowledgeable demeanor. He took the time to review all parts of my case and answer and address any questions and concerns I may have. He even took my court case on a day that he had a vacation planned with his family! Bill Powers is an awesome attorney and a great individual all around. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any questions regarding his services. E. L. [Number Removed by Avvo]

Great Representation, Brings Great Outcomes!!!

After blowing a .20 while carrying a concealed weapon I never thought that I would have a clean record again, but Bill refused to loose. He had very realistic advice and was very upfront with me from the start about how I should expect things to go. He was able to win both of my cases, one of wh...ich went to the Superior Court when it was appealed after our initial win. I am very grateful to Bill and his staff for all of their hard work and dedication to my cases. They were very easy to communicate with and always answered any questions I had in a timely and professional manner. Thanks Bill!
