Above and beyond

I was referred to Mr. Powell for a tenant eviction. He not only served them and filed the eviction but he stayed on top of the case giving my weekly updates going through the Covid eviction ban. He gave me his cell phone number for direct contact and was always available to answer my questions withou...t charging me for entry minute. He is very knowledgeable, experienced and helpful. I plan to use him to sell my house now that the tenants are gone. I would highly recommend Mr. Powell for any real estate needs!

Just Awful, Lazy and Will Take Your Money

We engaged him for a property eviction. After months and month of doing nothing we had to fire him. He kept my money like the awful person he is despite not doing anything. Stay far far away unless you want to burn your money away. He is lazy and useless. I would have been better off just burning my... money not to mention the lost money in eviction costs and time in lost rent.

To the best of my recollection I have not had any case or client that fits your description of events. However, I would be more than happy to speak with you and address your concerns. I take pride if the representation and care I provide to each one of my cases and clients.

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.

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.
