I thought I had a hopeless case of DUI and hit and run. I was ready to just plead guilty and take my punishment. I interviewed several attorneys and Bill Powers really made me feel confident that there was hope. He is very tall and has a commanding presence. I felt he would fight for me and boy, did ...he. His combination of knowledge, experience and boldness allowed him to recognize a situation and get my case dismissed at my very first court appearance.

I am from South Carolina and was charged at a traffic stop while on a hunting trip in North Carolina. I have never been charged with anything in my life so this was a very stressful and distressing situation. I had no idea who to call to represent me out of state. I called a highly respected attor...ney in my hometown in SC and he immediately recommended Bill Powers, "stating that Bill is one of the best if not the best DUI lawyers in North Carolina". When I spoke with Bill he compiled all the details from my traffic stop, clearly explained my options to me and then stated that based upon the circumstances of my case he strongly felt we could win in court. He made it clear that in court he would aggressively defend my case. In fact at the time he had recently won a case very similar to mine. In that first conversation, Bill provided clear direction, confidence and most importantly he made me feel better about myself. My case went on for over a year and I must admit that I did struggle with how far I should challenge my case. Throughout this period Bill and his paralegal assistant Michelle were extremely responsive in answering any of my questions and keeping me informed on the status of my case. After seeing Bill Powers dominating presence in court I would tell you to NEVER GIVE UP if Bill tells you that you have a case. It is very challenging to convey how impressive Bill was in court. His knowledge concerning DUI laws, traffic stop procedures and sobriety testing were amazing. He provided video of the intersection where the traffic stop had taken place, which certainly helped win my case. In fact after presenting my case, one of his peers in the courtroom actually said to him, "I was taking notes." Based upon Bill's compelling, aggressive representation, the Superior Court Judge dismissed my case. My family and I are extremely grateful to Bill . I was proud to have him as my attorney. Thank you Bill and Michelle for being there during a very stressful time in my life!

Wow! I just got my case dismissed and I am still in shock. I feel like I just won the lottery. Let me take a step back for a second...I reside in N.C. I made a huge mistake by drinking and driving. Got suspended from the Fire Dept for a year. Lost my license for that initial month. Talked to a fe...w attorney's locally, All they kept saying was plea-bargain or lesser change. Then I was really depressed. I kept researching and watching online vids of dui defense attorney in Charlotte. I came across Bill and gave him a call. His paralegal assistant Michelle screened me a bit and later that day I got a call back. I spoke a bit about my traffic stop and then Bill started to point out things and that I do have a case. Everyone has a fighting chance because there are soo many areas of one little traffic stop that can win the case for you. You can win a case on just the littliest thing. Like an officer leaving his blue lights on while giving you the eyes follow the pen test, Or even unlevel pavement under your feet while the sobriety test is administered to you. The weather...Soo many things to take into account. Just let me tell you that Bill knows it all. He even took a video camera to the scene to film. He then used it in court which made a big impact. I went into court today..."This is almost a year later by the way"...I was sitting there thinking negative..."Im screwed...A year has gone by and if I am guilty today all the, fines, alcohol classes, community service. This is now going to kick in and life is going to suck....All I can say is try hard to stay positive. Bill told me to hang in there and never give up...He kept saying..."I want to win this". I do believe him now....Lol. It is tough to put your trust in a stranger and pay them a sum of money then roll the dice. It is not a gamble with Bill. He does seem to really care about you and is very confident that he can win your case. Of all the people in that court room today. I am pretty sure that I was the only winning case. I sure heard that word guilty a lot. Anyway, Now I can start my life over and go back to the Fire Dept. Don't have to worry about this anymore. Thank You Soo Much Bill Powers For Everything!....

I would like to give my utmost recommendation of Bill's services to anyone charged with a DWI in North Carolina. I choose to retain him after seeing what others had to say on avvo.com and after seeing him work in court, I am glad that I trusted the recommendations of others. It was obvious that he is... an extremely respected attorney in the community based on the reactions of the prosecution and court officials when they found out that he was representing me in my case. He was very polite, yet extremely viscous in proving my case. He preformed like a rock star. He took my case (which other lawyers wanted to try to plea-bargain) and got it dismissed in a very dominating fashion. He used a combination of the law, science, common-sense and his top notch skill as a trial attorney. A handful of people followed us out of the courtroom to get contact information from Bill for cases that their friends and family were involved in. Mr. Powers knows the law, and he was able to put the law to work in my favor. I found him and his staff to be extremely pleasurable to work with, and he truly does care about the people that he represents. He even gave me a ride back to my hotel because he didn't want me to waste money on a cab. If you are arrested for DWI in North Carolina you will need a high powered attorney and you would be silly not to call Bill first.
