Exceptional Service and Experience (Not your average case)

I endorse and absolutely recommend Bill and his team for any service. Bill was able to dismiss a serious case even during these unprecedented times. My case was more complicated than a speeding or DUI type case. I was beginning to lose hope during this pandemic that had caused my case to be continuou...sly delayed and was set to be delayed for a year. This had an adverse affect on me obtaining a job during this pandemic. Bill and his team showed their ability to understand my situation and worked tirelessly to have my charges dismissed. I have dealt with multiple associates within this group and each interaction had its own personal touch and I always felt that the team gave their full attention to my case. Even during this period of social distancing, Bill and his team showed a natural ability to consistently communicate effectively. Bill, thank you once again for everything!

DWI Defense in NC Superior Court

I hired Bill Powers to handle a DWI charge. Bill told me early on to be patient and trust him to get through the process. It took time with postponed court dates and the corona virus delay, but after slogging through the lower court we appealed to Superior Court on the basis of an unreasonable stop.... Bill Powers is a master in the courtroom. He has a presence, along with quick thinking abilities, that holds everyone somewhat spellbound. He was always very well prepared and determined to fight for me. His perseverance resulted in the State dropping the case. Early on I realized that this man does not give up. I cannot recommend Bill Powers highly enough as a defense attorney.

DWI dismissed best trial attorney in Charlotte, period!!!

I got a DWI in downtown charlotte and blew a .15. I consulted with Mr. Powers after being referred from a friend that had a DWI while lisence revoked/ 3rd DUI completely dropped. When we met he laid out the process for me and told me it would be a long road to victory but man was it worth it!! When ...I was younger I had a similar experience with the court system and the lawyer I paid did next to nothing for me and I almost got the same feeling after such a long wait before Mr. Powers pulled out the big guns in trial. Just listening to him speak for me made me understand why he has such good success. He dominated the courtroom and proved that I was innocent and the officer didnt have probable cause to place me under arrest based on the several factors of information in the officers testimony of the event. In my opinion I'm an intelligent/educated person (degree in math) and normally can tell when things aren't going to gi my way. With this case I thought we were at a dead end and there was no way I was getting out of this without an intoxilizer in my vehicle and having to apply for driving privileges, but Bill ended up actually educating the police officer during trial of how inexperienced the officer was on conducting a field sobriety test to begin with. The judge actually told the DA, "make sure that police officer is prepared the next time he comes into my court room". This man was a blessing and I will be sending him a gift for the work he did for me hes worth every freaking dollar, plus more. Fact: Hire Bill Powers!

Gracious what a kind review. That makes my day! It truly is an honor to help people. It's especially nice to take a contested matter to trial and win. That, frankly, doesn't always happen. We don't win all our cases. Complex legal matters take preparation, hard work, and dedication to detail. And even with that, there are times when the facts are just flat-out against us. It's true also that sometimes we disagree with a judgment or verdict. We want our clients to understand the process. We encourage active participation in the defense. That can be hard, as most people rather not think about the criminal charges and possible consequences. But more than anything, we work very hard to be kind, to be patient, and to express our honest opinion(s) about the likelihood of success at trial. That can be easier said than done. No one likes to be the bearer of bad news and there is little, if anything, we can guarantee in court. So to have such a kind review and to hear we did a good job, that's really what it's all about. Our goal is to provide superlative legal advice, all the while being kind throughout the process. Thanks again for the very nice review!! Bill Powers

Absolutely Phenomenal

Many words come to mind to describe how Bill was as my lawyer. Although impressive, caring, and accessible, all come to mind, I think Trusting is the most important. Bill represented me for some time during a very difficult case and through it all, I learned a lot about Bill. When I had questions I c...ould contact him and ALWAYS received immediate responses. When in the courtroom, he proved his profound knowledge of the law which from the prosecutors hesitant responses always was heavily respected. Any advice or explanation he gave me, he made so transparent I couldn't help but trusting every decision or idea he had. Over the time spent representing me in my case he proved that he really cared about what happened to me, I really would now consider him a friend. Thank you Bill for doing such a superb job and winning my case that I had no hope for until meeting Bill. If you need a lawyer, you are crazy to use anyone but Bill Powers.

We care deeply about our clients and their cases. It's hard not to get attached and develop friendships. I consider many, many clients good friends. They're good people. They come to us in times of need and worry. It's truly an honor and pleasure to help. Frankly, it's a tremendous responsibility when someone places their life, their livelihood, and their well-being in our hands. We take that charge and duty seriously. So to hear we were kind, that we took the time to listen, and that we showed compassion throughout the process, well, that makes my day. Thank you SO MUCH for the kind review. Bill Powers
