I had blown a .14 and was distressed about my DWI case. Bill Powers saw some immediate possibilities in attacking the case, and he seized on the state's weaknesses in a hearing in which he got the DWI thrown out because the officer lacked probable cause to stop me. In a masterful argument, he showed ...that the officer could not correctly gauge my speed and that he could not have had appropriate probable cause to pull me over. The judge agreed and dismissed the case. I recommend Bill Powers for EVERYONE in a bad DWI situation.

After enduring the immediate repurcussions of a DWI arrest in Meckelnburg county on Super Bowl Sunday, I was scared for my future as a young sales professional. I immediately consulted a friend's father, and former judge for advice and legal defense, when I was contacted by Bill Powers, himself. Bill... immediately calmed my nerves and brought me in for a consultation. Right off the bat, he was honest with me regarding the potential outcome of trying a complicated case like mine--one with a high alcohol content. (.22 to be exact). Bill's mentality to fight as opposed to laying down and pleaing, paralleled my own optimistic perspective of life in general, thus I hired him on the spot. Bill has this incredible presence of confidence and realism that say more than enough to enourage you to trust in his expertise. I consulted with my friend's father, and he too agreed Powers was a phenomenal choice. This entire year i've carried the burden of the mistake I made 9 months ago on my shoulders, and this past week, the confident bet I made on Powers was put to the ultimate test. After two continuances, my case was finally tried..and not to mention, through Bill's lunch hour!! I am still dumfounded by his poise and recognition of alternative routes to take in questioning my arresting officer. Bill's ability to think on his feet and use the law to support his every step, is unbelieveable and incredibly inspiring. His knowledge and commanding presence in the courtroom are just two factors that ultimately contributed to the dismissal of my tough case. He is a mastermind at what he does, and his confident, positive energy is truly contagious. I have Bill Powers to thank for plowing through a huge roadblock on the rest of my life!! I'd bet on Bill any day. You should too!

Unfortunately this was not my first Rodeo in getting pulled for a DUI in Charlotte. Before I had used the services of Bill's partner Chris McCarten and was truly impressed with the firm Bush & Powers. My original thought was if Chris works with Bill then Bill must be a stud as well. My case was con...tinued for quite some time but I remained calm as Bill was there to field any concerns or questions that arose throughout the process. Finally my case was heard and I was sure to face significant jail time if found guilty. It was a World Series of DUI cases as the case laws were being thrown back and forth in a mind-numbing yet Chess-like manner. The real difference being that the State was using the computer to look up cases that Bill was simply stating from his memory. At one point, he even stated "and the prosecutor is probably looking up such and such case which doesnt apply here because of the nature of the case." And sure enough they were looking up that case that he had already dismantled and disarmed before the judge. I told him all along that I got the best horse and intended to ride him til the end, but I truly had no idea that he was that good. Without a doubt Bill Powers is a master of his trade and it is inspiring to be near him while he practices his passion. In the end, case dismissed and a life changing moment for my family and I. Forever grateful to Powers & McCarten.

I, of course, was extremely nervous after I received a DWI citation in Charlotte earlier this year. I had alot at stake, alot to lose all because of a ridiculous Checkpoint stop. I was only in Charlotte for one evening as I am a Florida resident, which made things even more difficult. At that moment ...things looked pretty bleak for me. So I knew what I had to do , I had to retain the best that Charlotte, NC had to offer, or so I was hoping for. Bill Powers was very up front with me right from the start. He listened to what I had to say and accepted the case, which eased my mind initially. It took some time and money and plenty of prayers but when the day was upon us Bill Powers took care of business!! I have to admit that I was a bit sceptical through the whole ordeal ,{ I was cited in March of 2010 and the case was dismissed in July of 2010.ATTY.POWERS HANDLED MY CASE IN UNDER 4 MONTHS !! This is extremely timely fashion for such a case in such a ridiculously strict area!!! }BILL POWERS FOUGHT FOR MY RIGHTS AND WON MY CASE QUITE IMPRESSIVELY , I MIGHT ADD!! I would recommend his services to all who need A GREAT ATTOURNEY ON THEIR SIDE!!! Thank You Atty. Powers for a job well done! Well worth my money and time.

My DUI case was very sensitive and could have cost me my career! I was recommended by 2 friends with similar successful careers that advised Bill Powers would be the best option hands down. They both told their DUI stories and how he had them both dismissed with his phenomenal tactics. How he didn’t ...just lie down and take some plea-bargain like most attorneys that he would fight for me. So I def took their recommendations and am very thankful that I did! I sat in this courtroom for 4 hours watching DUI case after DUI case go in front of the judge and their attorneys just pleading for some sort of jail, community service, and suspended license package. Not one attorney tried to get a fighting chance for their client and each bargain only lasted about 10 minutes. This was definitely not Bill’s style. He took 2 hours to question the DA’s witnesses and pretty much had all those agreeing w/ him that they didn’t have a reason to even arrest me. I couldn’t believe how he did it. He was polite but viscous and I loved every second of watching his talent in action! The judge was even asking the defense if he had anything to rebuttal (trying to help him) and there was nothing more to be said. The DA just kept stumbling over his words and fidgeting with papers b/c he was so perplexed and conquered by Bill’s argument. Bill was so much more educated and precise with questioning and his follow-up statement that it was like watching him conduct a symphony in the courtroom! Bill even had attorneys lined up in the courtroom to watch his craft first hand and taking notes too. Bill Powers is worth every penny I would recommend him to ANYONE in any DUI situation!
