Best Attorney in Charlotte

Bill worked on a very difficult DUI case and won for my coworker. He is beyond brilliant. Picked the right judge, on the right day and gave such a brilliant argument - he won the case. I honestly believed there was no chance. He is a miracle worker. No doubt about it. Rene

Does his job very well and very quickly

I was charged with possession of pyrotechnics (apparently even possession of bottle rockets is a crime in North Carolina) but I was going to be out of the country on my court date. I took my case to Mr. Powers and he had apparently talked to the DA the next day. He got me permission to sign up for a ...Cognitive Behavioral Intervention course within days; I signed up for the earliest class and I had my case dismissed in under a month. I never did receive replies to some of my questions, but he did everything I needed him to, so it wasn't a problem.

Great Lawyer and Person

Couldn't be more pleased with the representation on a criminal matter I recently received. Bill got the case dismissed on our first court appearance and did so proficiently and professionally. I highly recommend his services as I think you would be well served.

Thank you so much for the kind words. What a pleasure it is to help people through sometimes trying times. We appreciate the trust people place in our firm by choosing Powers McCartan, PLLC and are honored to call many, many clients “friend.” It’s important to understand that the calendaring of cases, especially in Criminal, Traffic and DWI matters, can be a complex and sometimes frustrating process. A lot depends upon the type of case, the relative complexity of the different issues involved and the number of other matters on the docket or term. We do our utmost to help work with clients in scheduling, so as to avoid conflicts. At the same time, when we can knock something out in short order, especially with a good end result, well, that just makes my day. For the record, we do NOT win all our cases. Sometimes no matter how hard we try, even with compelling legal or factual issues, things just don’t go our way. Put simply, that's tough. It's hard sometimes being the bearer of bad news to good people. Having said that, we will always share what we think with clients. We provide information, both good and bad, even when we know it’ll be hard for clients to hear. That’s what I’d want if I were a client. To all past, present and future clients, thank you for allowing us to help! Bill Powers 704-342-4357 Bill@PowMac.com www.PowersMcCartan.com

Unbeatable Case...Or so I thought

Bill Powers represented me for a case last year that I thought there was no chance of winning. I thought my life was over. I blew twice the legal limit and was facing some serious consequences. He calmly reassured me in every meeting that we had that there was always a chance, it would be tough, but ...there's always a chance. Sure enough, when he saw an opportunity with the right judge, Bill seized the opportunity and my case was dismissed. I won't go too much into detail but there was no way I thought that would happen. If you or someone you know is in trouble, call Bill immediately!

Outstanding Job

Never in my life had I been arrested or been in any difficulty with the law, so when I was arrested for a DUI in Charlotte, I was at a loss for what to do. There were many issues surrounding my case that I felt were wrong, but emotion is not the right way to deal with legal issues. An attorney frie...nd of mine referred me to Bill Powers to get the proper legal advice. In my initial consultation with Bill, I knew that I was in the right hands. He clearly understood the law and how it was applied in North Carolina, but even more importantly, he listened to me and my situation. He guided me through the confusing, lengthy, and embarrassing legal process and advised me on what my options were and what the ramifications of each decision would be. I always knew where I stood. Bill told me to be patient. He explained what could go wrong. I trusted his judgment and the final result was “case dismissed”. Even if the result had gone against me, I could not have had better legal representation. Bill Powers gets my highest personal recommendation. Thanks again Bill.
