Provided peace of mind and superior services

I was involved in a complicated legal battle for items in my father's estate after his passing. Hiring Mr. Powell to represent my family was the best decision I could have made. Mr. Powell is very professional, courteous, efficient, and extremely competent. He shares information in a very concise man...ner and was available for consult and advice at all times. I was never made to feel like I was anything less than top priority, even considering my case was not a case in which extensive service and payment was required. He explains things very clearly and made it easy to understand the often complicated legal processes and documentation. It was clear to me when in court that Mr. Powell was (amongst the other attorneys) best equipped in both ability and experience. I strongly recommend Mr. Powell and will be sharing my story with anyone else who may require his talent. To me, he is what I expect an attorney to be and I know my money was well invested. We accomplished our goals quickly and easily, which allows us to finally have some closure in this tragedy.

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.
