I was absolutely scared to death at the prospect of facing a DWI charge. My husband and I knew I needed an attorney, but who? Hours were spent researching for attorneys on the internet. We liked what we read about Bill Powers in reviews much like this review that you are reading now. We made a...n appointment and met with Bill to discuss my case. I think Bill could see that I was terrified, and he did his best to put me at ease. He was confident, but not arrogant, and obviously an authority on the subject of DWI. As he talked about the case and ways he might approach the case, we both became much more relaxed and reassured. We had an appointment with another attorney scheduled for the next day. On the way home, we cancelled that appointment; we'd found the right man for the job. One of the last things Bill told me at that first meeting was not to worry. Did I worry? A little bit, but I trusted Bill. At each court appearance, Bill walked in the court room confidently; he is completely at home and comfortable in the court room. He knows the ropes and networks; he knows the judges. It is clear that he is well-liked and respected. Many times I saw other attorneys consult with him. If you have a DWI case, especially if it is a daunting case that seems overwhelming to you, call Bill Powers. Believe him when he says these cases are not like fine wines; they do not get better with time. The process may take some time, but do not worry. He kept us apprised of developments in my case. Bill won a dismissal of the charges against me. What a relief! I gave him a big hug. Thank you for a great job! When all is said and done, I will have no record, no points on my license, and a valuable lesson learned. I can't say thank you enough. The entire operation is top-notch. Everyone we came into contact with was professional and just good people. You can do hours of research, or you can take my word for it. Bill Powers is the best!

I went to Bill for my 3rd DUI. I was facing 1 year in jail and who knows how long without being able to drive. I was apprehensive that any lawyer would be able to help me by this point. Bill, Chas, and Michelle all just kept saying stay with it and that there is still a chance. They were totally prof...essional and gave me the best advice of my life. We went to court with a judge that would more than likely have taken me to jail at the end of the trial, but Bill persevered on and never gave up. Within 30 minutes of the trial he had all charges dropped and has given me a 2nd chance to finally straighten up. I have unfortunately had lawyers across NC and SC, Bill Powers is the best attorney I have ever had the luck of knowing. Thank you so much!

He is a very intelligent and detailed lawyer. I called Bill on August 1st after I went through a checkpoint in Huntersville. I blew a .14 and had to do all of the sobirety tests. I was arrested and was let out on no bond. When I called Bill, I felt the weight lifted off my shoulders. I felt very... conifdent that he would represent me the best he can. We went to trial 3 times and it was postponed for different circumstances and then we had our FINAL day in court. He stood up and fought hard for my case saying that the checkpoint was not right and several other unconstitutional things that were done. The next thing I heard is that is was DISMISSED. It was a great relief to me. Then he called us that night and told us that the DA was not going to APPEAL the case and that it is over. I screamed thank you so much. I would highly recommend Bill Powers to represent you for a DWI case.

I recently retained Mr.Powers as I was facing my fourth DUI charge and serious consequences. Mr. Powers not only worked hard for me to get the best result possible... He was able to take my case to trial and get a not guilty plea!... Along with 2 other DUI cases before mine. To anyone who is in need ...of representation, Bill Powers is absolutely the best of the best!

At the time of my arrest, I had been teaching for 6 years and was currently enrolled in graduate school for administration of education. Needless to say being arrested for DUI was a huge deal for me! The accusations had me fired from my summer job as a life guard as soon as they heard about it, and... I was terrified of the consequences if the school district I work for found out. This was when a friend of mine recommended Bill Powers. He said that he had run into some similar trouble and Bill had been a good guy, in getting his case dismissed. From the first time I talked with Bill he was supportive, knowledgeable, professional, and understanding. Bill calmed my fears and let me know that things were not as bad as they seemed. He provided information and recommendations for what I needed to do, and he and his associates took care of everything throughout the whole process. The first time I spoke with Bill he said “it’s not as bad as it looks, this could be a long process similar to a roller coaster with lots of up’s and downs; but I will be honest, if you want to stick it out, from what I can see so far I think the odds favor us in this one.” Bill also promised to be completely honest with me; he said that if he felt things shifted or it was to a point where we were clearly wasting time and/or money he would be straight up and tell me. This was huge! Being a teacher I do not have the biggest salary in the city being paid to me, and I didn’t want to blow what I had chasing something that wasn’t going to happen. Thankfully for me it never got to that point. Bill and his associates made sure to appear on my behalf for anything they could, so that I didn’t have to miss a large amount of school. Throughout the entire 19 month ordeal I missed 3 days! One day was for the original trial, and the other two were for the appeal. I was arrested in May 2009; my case went to trial in November 2009. This first trial did not go in my favor, but this was not for lack of Bill’s effort or preparation. Before I could even get up from my chair in the court room, Bill had already filed an appeal. He explained to me outside after the trial, that few cases similar to mine were won in the first trial. He explained the appeal process and what our game plan was going to be proceeding forward. The appeals process was a waiting game, I was finally called to appear in February 2011. When we got to the court room, Bill and I sat in a conference room and reviewed our strategy. Bill explained what he was going to do, but continued to ask me things about the original incident. It was through my responses to some of his questions that ultimately provided the aspect of the case that would determine the outcome. Bill never packed it in on me! He worked up until we went into the appeal for me. After the first day of the appeal, the judge denied our first motion; but asked both prosecution and defense counselors to provide further legal research on our second motion in the appeal. This second motion was based upon the information Bill got before the first day of the appeal. When we returned for the second day of the appeals process the judge ruled that the portion of evidence which was crucial to the prosecution’s case was to be suppressed going forward. The next step was going to be a jury trial, Bill felt extremely confident if he could argue this matter in front of a jury, without the suppressed piece of evidence we would have a real good shot! I was very encouraged and ready to wait some more for our next court appearance. But before we got out of the courtroom the prosecution dismissed the charges! It was over, after all of the accusations, waiting, uncertainty, and stress. Bill had done it! Bill Powers saved my career as a teacher, and as an aspiring administrator. Not to mention the consequences that could have been imposed by insurance companies. I would recommend Bill Powers with zero reservation to anyone who has an inte
