Super helpful

Chris helped me tremendously by helping to navigate the legal process. I appreciated his communication, follow up and kindness through the process and would absolutely recommend him.

DWI Dismissed

Chris was well prepared and did an excellent job representing my case. Very knowledgeable and up to date on laws that were pertinent to the case. I would VERY highly recommend Mr. Beddow for any DWI case you may have.

Chris Hired = Case Dismissed

In summary, my experience with Chris and the entire Powers Law Firm was incredible. 1. Chris's intelligence, plan, and hard work met my satisfaction x10 and beyond. 2. I was confident and comfortable the whole time and did very little work. 3. The entire team is so intelligent, professional, and... easy to work with. 4. Communication was top notch. 5. No judgement and everyone was on the same team. List could go on, but this is what you are looking for in someone who is helping direct you in life changing decisions. Thank you Chris and the entire Powers Law Firm.

DWI

I have never had an experience like this. First time having a lawyer that wasn’t court appointed. Wow what a difference. Having someone advocate and care for my case was awesome. The DA tried several different tricks and he was prepared for them all. I would recommend and use Chris again. Needless to... say the verdict was not guilty. I am still in awe. What an experience. Top notch attorney.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
