Mr Powers is an outstanding attorney and his representation vastly exceeded my expectations. He was able to get my DWI charge dismissed under the most difficult of circumstances. His knowledge of case law and ability to capitalize on the opposition's mistakes are truly jaw dropping. Please don't hesi...tate to seek his counsel when the odds are stacked against you!!

Bill Powers is a top notch criminal defense lawyer. I've been a civil trial lawyer for over 23 years and I send my clients to him because I trust him and his office to provide a strong defense in tough cases. Experience counts and Bill has probably tried more DWI cases than 90% of lawyers in NC. He's... a very popular teacher at lawyer seminars and was the President of the 3,000 member trial lawyer organization for the state. He's aggressive but compassionate and he loves his clients and always goes the extra yard for them.

I'm being charged with a DWI in North Carolina, and live in Georgia. My license was suspended for a month in April and I haven't been able to drive since. I cleared everything I was told to clear and still nothing. My attorney wasn't any help so I contacted Bill Powers. On a Friday, he was able to se...nd me an address and the exact amount i needed to pay in order to clear my record in NC. In a hours! I highly recommend Bill's services. His staff is professional, timely, and understanding of your situation. Do yourself a favor and hire Bill.

I cannot say enough good things about Powers and McCarten! When I ran into trouble I was terrified! I contacted the firm and they got me in pronto! John & the admin teach patiently got me through the initial steps of the process quickly! Then Bill Powers took over. In our strategy sessions Bill broug...ht up several case laws that would help but he was honest - the odds were stacked against me. In trial, Bill picked up on one thing the prosecution's first witness said and he was on it like a great white shark on a harp seal! He used that statement to argue in my favour and the Judge agreed! We won in court & Bill got my case dismissed! His knowledge of the system & the law is immense! Bill treated me with respect, dignity & kindness. I will be forever grateful to him and would trust him with my life!

I was involved in an alcohol related injury accident, thankfully only involving me. I was referred to Bill by my God-mother's good friend in Alabama, who knew Bill from his involvement in local, state, and national legal groups. From the outset, Bill was unusually approachable and humble, treating ...me as if I was a member of the family. He dispensed candid advice at our first meeting, showed genuine interest in my health and well being, and convinced me, in action more than word, I would never feel like a case number. That feeling has remained for over nine months. He gained my trust from day one. I am not a patient person, yet his actions and his skillful work on my case allowed me to have incredible confidence and patience. Keeping my eyes and ears open, being absolutely honest with him, and having faith and hope, was a growth point, and was rewarded with the dismissal of my case. The State did a very poor job of managing their case, while Bill quietly filed the necessary motions and subpoenas to put their mis-management in clear focus for the end game, which was very short and sweet. I am a highly skilled professional, with over 30 years experience in my craft. It has been a refreshing dose of hope and faith in mankind to find a man who has such ability and fitness, clarity of focus, and a moral compass - hard to find in today's world. I cannot recommend BIll highly enough. It will be my pleasure to say in touch with Bill for the remainder of my days, hoping never to need him, but knowing if I do, he is there. Bill is the best, and will be my choice if that need ever arises.
