I live in Miami, FL, but I hired Ryan Powers to handle an unusual, complicated and highly personal family law issue in Pekin, IL ... based partly on reviews from this site but also on the way he conducted our initial consultation and after comparing his interpersonal skills (and rates) to three other... attorneys I interviewed on the phone, all of whom I met through Avvo. Ryan guided me to a successful conclusion of my case, with the results I wanted from the start and much faster than I had hoped. He was clear about the legalities of my unusual case, and he communicated regularly and was available quickly every time I needed him, providing answers to direct legal matters and sage advice when I needed that as well. He told me when to stand my ground and when/how to negotiate through a tricky agreement. As my representative in Pekin, I also appreciate how Ryan conducted himself with the other person in my case. Family law can involve sensitive, personal issues, and Ryan handled my case professionally and delicately. I have never met Ryan in person, as we conducted my case via email and phone (rather unusual and cause for initial concern on my behalf). However, by their actions and regular and clear communications, Ryan and his office staff gave me enormous confidence that I was being represented in the best possible way long distance. In Powers Law, I had a strong attorney and caring people looking out for my best interests from thousands of miles away. I cannot recommend Ryan Powers more highly, and I would hire him again without hesitation.

I had an agreement set up with my ex husband and I was completely side swiped with it. I scheduled a consultation with him and explained my dilemma. He took my case and helped me amend the agreement to better suit the best interests for not only me, but my son as well. He was very upfront and brutall...y honest with everything, from cost to likelihood of different outcomes. He eased my nerves about the whole process and made sure I understood every detail of what I was agreeing. I would highly recommend him.
