Very professional and knowledgeable

Jeff is an excellent lawyer and I have gone to him on many occasions for his advice on how he would approach difficult situations that arise in the law. I trust him and know he truly cares about the people that are seeking assistance from a lawyer. It is great to have such a professional and skillful... lawyer as a colleague.

Best decision we could’ve made

Mr Powers and his team took care of me from the time I picked up the phone and let them know about the accident to the moment the settlement check arrived. I didn’t feel like just a client but a person who was concerned about and cared for.

Vehicle accident

The stress and concerns that permeated my thoughts, after our vehicle accident, were alleviated with the first visit to Mr. Powers and the Powers Law Group. Total professionals - all of them. They took care of everything necessary to successfully settle our case. If I had a question, I was able to ei...ther email Mr. Powers or a member of his staff. They kept us apprised of our status in a very timely manner. I would DEFINITELY recommend anyone that is seeking legal advice, contact Mr. Powers at Powers Law Group.
