I was informed of everything going on.

Vince and Sherry were great at keeping me informed of anything happening with my case.

Straight Shooter

I've known Vince over 30 years as a friend and confidant. He is someone who is not going to tell you what you want to hear but the truth based on the facts. Vince is a great lawyer and I'm happy to say I have not had to have him represent me in court. I did however need to work with him on a fami...ly matter that was quite serious. Vince's calm, thorough guidance was comforting and extremely helpful. He is my go to guy for legal advice as well as a personal opinion when I want an honest, fact based opinion.

Excellent Services

It was a pleasure to work with Vince Powers. From the beginning, it was very obvious that he actually cared about my situation and wanted to do whatever he could to ensure that I received the justice that I deserved. I felt adequately prepared and informed throughout my entire case. All of my call...s and emails were answered in a timely manner. He is highly intelligent and brought that knowledge to my case. I would highly recommend Vince Powers again and again.

highly skilled

i have never met such a caring LAWYER. he's selfless and actually does care about your situation. he is responsive to every call and email. i would recommend him to anyone without hesitation. he is respected in the community and other lawyers need to take notes, attend his trials so they can learn s...omething. employment cases depending on the nature can be hard to fight, but i am thankful that I finally had a voice to speak for me. before consulting with him, the employer ignored my plea for help.

Outstanding Services

I would highly recommend Vincent M. Powers for legal representation. He is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. He went out of his way to accommodate us at the time of our son's death. He was perceptive and could anticipate what steps to take in order to resolve our issues. He was sensit...ive to our emotional needs, as well. All emails or phone calls were answered promptly. His support staff was also very helpful and professional. Mr. Powers was clear in explaining the matters at hand. He has the experience and background to be very effective at what he does. He continues to more than willing to help us navigate the system to find resolution to concerns that have arisen due to our son's death. I would hire Vincent M. Powers again.

  • 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.
