Gratitude goes a long way

A special thank you to you for your time and assistance with our son. I know it’s your expertise, but it was our son’s life that was on the line. We felt you went above and beyond and we just wanted to express our gratitude. Never wavering and after the case was resolved you went even further to ask ...us to keep you “in the know” if something else arise. It’s rare these days to get this kind of service and we’ll never forget it. Thank you so very much and may God Bless You!

Crap human being!

He never returned my call when I needed help. He let an innocent man sit in jail when he could've helped. He's scum of the earth!

Best Decision to Hire Ben

Amazing. Ben is not only a phenomenal lawyer but an all around great guy. He genuinely would always listen and calm all my fears. His passion for helping others and knowledge of the law shines through. Hiring Ben was the best decision for my family and couldn't be happier with the outcome.

Highly Recommend !!

I hired Ben to represent me for a DUI I received in Williamson County, TN. Through his expertise guidance and diligent work, we were able to do the impossible and reduce my DUI to a reckless driving with probation only. He consistently updated me regarding my case and was always available to answer m...y questions. In the words of the judge himself, he is a "miracle worker". I would recommend him ten times over.

Hire Ben Powers, an attorney who actually cares!

When the dreadful day came that a family member required legal counsel, I was completely devastated. Fortunately, Attorney Ben Powers came highly recommended from a family friend. Unsure of the steps, I reached out to several attorneys, and Ben was the first to respond. Attorney Powers quickly answe...red and met my family in court within the hour. His legal advice was both comprehensive and empathetic. Ben broke down each count that my family member received and treated us with such respect. All of this, and we ended up not even needing his service! He could have easily taken advantage of our family's desperation, but he primarily spent hours serving us, without pay! I hope we will never need his service again, but if we do, his number is locked into our phones, and his well-mannered disposition is forever locked into our hearts! I HIGHLY recommend using Attorney Ben Powers!
