Criminal Defense 75%

If you are suspected of a crime or charged with a violation of law, you may require the services of a criminal defense attorney to present your defense or negotiate a penalty. As different rules and procedures exist for different offenses, you should seek a criminal defense attorney who has worked on your particular type of case to provide you with the best defense. As a criminal defense attorney I have many years of experience and knowledge in this area of law practice

Child Custody 17%

If you are getting divorced and have children, part of the divorce agreement will involve determining where and with whom the children will live. Aa a child custody lawyer I can help you negotiate custody, visitation and other factors in divorce cases either by agreement or in court.

Child Support 8%

If you are a parent and you divorce, the parent the child lives with often receives money (child support) from the parent no longer living with the child. Child support pays for the child's physical, emotional, and educational needs. As a well-informed child support lawyer I can help parents negotiate and calculate child support, either by agreement or in court. The national guidelines to calculate child support amounts exist and I am familiar with this guidelines

Posted by Misty tompkins | April 26, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Worst mistake you will make is hiring Cindy Powell

I paid her $1200 when she assured me how easy my case would be for her. I received every charge and was fined the maximum amount for each crime. No charges dropped, no fines reduced. She will tell you what you want to hear to get you to court. Then when you get there you'll be like but you said? And ...she will say I would have never told you that. She's a lair. And laughed and giggled with my arresting officers. I was like I hired my arresting officer as my attorney. I wouldn't use her again for a jay walking case. Save yourself the money and horribly embarrassing mistake of showing up to court with her as your lawyer

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
