Excellent Service & Advice
Excellent advice and service. I feel we ‘won’ our case after Robson represented us. Highly recommend.
Posted by Jennifer | April 15, 2014
Elated with Services Provided
Mr. Powers was compassionate and understanding regarding my recent legal issue. He resolved the matter quickly and professionally with top notch communication, which I appreciate and respect a great deal. I will highly recommend his services to colleagues and loved ones if ever their situations call for solid representation.

An Honest Review
I am giving Robson Powers the highest rating possible because he truly met all of my expectations in the four above categories. I would like to note that in the "Knowledgeable" category there were some facts that were not in his scope of knowledge - in which case he conferred with an associate to provide us with the best course of action concerning our case.

an extraordinarily caring, honest and capable attorney
By working quickly and effectively, Robson Powers preempted my unnecessary arrest, charges, incarceration, and avoided the need to go to court. He showed great compassion as he worked with me, reviewed the evidence of my innocence and asked relevant questions to ensure crucial aspects of my involvement in the situation were considered. In addition, Mr. Powers demonstrated true humility (even a willingness to pray with me at critical junctures) which enabled him to effectively apply his skills both as my advocate and as an intelligent negotiator in this situation.

knowledgeable,
He helped me with my case, and kept me well informed on what was going on, and what my options were.
Posted by anonymous | November 8, 2012
Very satisfied
I was arrested and that same day he visited me in jail. He knew his stuff and always explained it to me. I can call his office and pretty much always talk to him instead of leaving a message. he explained everything to me and I got a great deal and can move on now. I definitely recommend him.
