Best DUI Lawyer in NC

Bill was the best attorney I could have possibly gotten. On our first meeting, he sat with me for several hours, getting all the details about my side of the story, going over the police report, and explaining to me very clearly exactly how he wanted to approach the case. He walked me through every s...tep of the process, and was incredibly supportive and reassuring. Everything that came along with my DUI was so exhausting, stressful, and drawn-out (it took almost a year to get everything settled), but he was always available whenever I needed him. When it finally came to the day when my case was heard (on the 4th court date, all the other ones had all been continued), Bill knew exactly how to approach the case and the specific judge that I had. I honestly don't think I could have hired a better attorney, and was so thankful that I was found not guilty. That outcome was totally and completely due to him and his ability as a trial lawyer. I cannot recommend him enough to anyone who has to go through the absolutely miserable experience of a DUI.

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY!!!

I received excellent service from the first time meeting with Bill at his office, to the day he was able to get my case dismissed. His office employees were very curteous to me and made me feel very comfortable. I had never gone through anything like this before, so I was scared to death! But he alwa...ys put me at ease and I definitely trusted him. He would tell me the truth and go through the different scenarios with me. I was fearing the worst, but hoping for the best! Which he gave me his best and won my case! My case needed to be continued several times, therefore I was able to watch other attorney's handle their cases while I waited. NO other attorney performs in the court room like Bill does! When he gets in front of the judge, he knows what to say and knows the law better than any other lawyer! There were always lawyers following him out of the court room asking him questions on how and why he was able to win so many cases. You need a lawyer that the judges, policemen and the DA's know. I wasn't aware of that until now. He is well respected in the law community and it shows. I found out he actually teaches the classes and writes books on the Alcosensor, Interlock and Field tests! A judge even referred to his book in the court room! I completely recommend Bill Powers and his firm!

Great Lawyer

I had no clue what all was involved with a DWI. Bill was very knowledgeable and was very honest about everything upfront. I had a .08 and had no clue how difficult everything would be. I was able to get the case dismissed, thanks to a great attorney and can leave this nightmare behind me. His sta...ff in the office were very friendly and very informative and quick to answer any emails. I had to do majority of this from out of state and they were there to help in any way they could. Highly recommend!

Bill Powers is the BEST attorney!

I was very impressed with the responsiveness from the very beginning. I was really scared about my case because this was my second DWI. After I hired Bill I sent an email with my concerns and let him know how scared I was and I received a phone call from him while he was on vacation! He really cared ...about my case and wanted to make sure that I knew that he would do everything in his power to get the outcome that we wanted. He and his staff kept in touch with me by email and by phone every step of the way. He even appeared with me in court even though it was 2 hours away. My case was a very difficult one considering my very high BAC so I ended up being found guilty in the end but I believe that I couldn't have found a better attorney to take on the case. I found him on this website and all of the outstanding reviews are completely true. With Bill Powers as your attorney you don't only feel like you have the most knowledgeable attorney but that you have also gained a friend who truly does care. I am still dealing with the consequences of my actions but thanks to Bill getting my probation transferred I am now living in a new city with public transportation so I can still live a full and happy life. Thank you again Mr. Powers. I would highly recommend you to anyone I know!

Excellent Attorney

If you are looking to hire a criminal defense attorney, look no further. Bill and his entire staff at Powers McCartan did an incredible job with my case. If you have ever been arrested or charged with a criminal offense you know how distressing the situation can be. Bill made me feel much better a...bout everything and anytime I had any questions regarding the case his staff always got right back to me. Thanks to Bill and the other attorneys at Powers McCartan my case was dismissed. If I ever find myself in trouble again, Bill will be the first person I call!
