Ben the powerful!

Ben is by far one the best and brightest lawyers I have ever hired. He was very helpful and thorough with the details of my case. Not only did he treat me like a true, valued client, he was able to get the results i desired and truly made a great impression and an overall excellent experience. I woul...d highly recommend Mr. Powers to anyone in need of law advice or help. Thanks again Ben!

Coolest Lawyer Ever

Received a citation for DUI and I was freaking out. Went to Ben's office for a consultation and left with a lawyer confident that he could get that charge reduced to reckless driving. Fast forward a few months and he did just that. Not only did I get a lesser charge, I received fairly minimal penalt...ies. Being that I was facing a couple days in jail, 1+ year of probation, plus an exorbitant amount of fines and fees, walking away with 6 months probation was a blessing. In addition to doing all that he could to get a lesser charge, Ben also was very willing to work with me as far as his compensation was concerned. I appreciate all Ben has done for me and while I hope to never need another criminal defense lawyer EVER AGAIN, I would definitely give him a call if I did. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone in a similar situation!

Hire him

I hired Ben Powers for a case and he was excellent. He knows the law and was able to help me get my case expunged. If you need help with your case give him a call.

Caring, Knowledgeable, Diligent = Total life saver!

Ben was absolutely wonderful. During one of the scariest times of my life, he was able to guide me through it and was extremely comforting along the way. He was super proactive in following up and making sure all the details were taken care of throughout the process. There's no way that my case would... have had the outcome that it did without Ben's diligence and knowledge of the court system. I can confidently say that there is no one else I would have trusted more in this situation and I am so grateful to have been referred to Ben. Stand up guy, for sure.

Fantastic Lawyer!

Ben defended me in a DUI case and beyond exceeded my expectations with his handing of my case! His personality is very calm yet confident which also followed him in the Court Room. He was extremely thorough and always made himself available to address my concerns. I was very pleased with the outcome ...of my case! I highly recommend Ben!
