DON'T USE THEM

Terrible attorney's. I never knew what was going on with my case and I was never told anything unless I asked. When I complained in an email to someone at the office, Tim himself emailed me and was very smug and condescending. He'll sell you at the time of consultation, but don't expect much after th...at. He should really be a used car salesman. What a waste of money!

The Worst Law Office in America

Tim Powers firm spends more time posting fake reviews then they will spend on the clients. In fact, his sales pitch are the most time anyone at his firm will spend on you. Just look at the amount of fake reviews. Only way the firm can operate is via fake reviews, as past clients will never, ever su...ggest this firm.

Run far away from this office

If you are looking for someone to truly fight for your case run the complete opposite way from this law office. I got a consultation with Tim Powers where he will tell you he has experience with what ever city you got arrested in. Will talk some big stuff about being able to get the best deal or even... dismissal. What is going to happen is you will never speak or hear from Tim powers again you will get thrown to some other representative from the office. They are just going to tell you that all the evidence is against you and you are guilty and try to talk you into just taking a plea deal with things like “don’t you just want to get this over with” and “if you just take the deal you will end up paying less” the lack of concern you will receive is alarming and surprises me this place is even still in business. This office only cares about getting the max conviction for the county and prosecutors. You could with your eyes closed pick any other law office and receive better representation. Hope this helps anyone wanting to know how the process will go for you by choosing this office.

Fake as a $3 bill

I believed the hype about Tim Powers and hired him. I had a felony and he promised me that it would be reduced to a misdemeanor. He’s a good salesman and tells you exactly what you want to hear. I was with his other clients at my court date and they all said the same thing about him, worthless and le...aves you out to dry by lack of communication and lies. I ended up going to prison for my first charge. Don’t kid yourself and waste your time and money on this yahoo. Believe what I say.

All talk, no bite. Mr Powers nowhere in sight.

As an individual, I have nothing but respect for mr powers since I’m sure he has extensive knowledge of the law. As an institution, this is not the case. He gave a very promising consultation that earned the trust of my parents and myself. When confronted with the issue stated on other reviews about ...being “handed off”/represented by other individuals, he strongly denied this and assured me this was not the way his firm operated which led us to retain his firm. When it came time for my court dates, I had dates for both misdemeanor and felony courts. For the first court date, I was not greeted or represented by mr powers but the associate he handed my case off to. Fortunately the next time I had to appear in this court I was met by the same associate. When it came time to appear in the other court, I was greeted by another different associate of mr powers, carrying a large iPad(important for later). The best part: she was in the late stages of her pregnancy, and when in the back room of the court discussing my terms with me, used her iPad to communicate with the other associate that I was “being a pain in the a**” after only asking a few questions. The questions and concerns had to do with the fact that what mr powers had discussed with us during our consultation, were not happening. With the stress of court and the associate saying there’s nothing else she can do other than jail time, I was under the impression that I had no other choice but to sign what she was presenting me. In summary, my cases were handed off and I was represented by other attorneys. In theory, this is not a big issue. Mr Powers is running a business and trying to retain as many clients as he can. Since there is only so much one man can do, he is hiring others to handle cases under his supervision. The reason it is not ok and the large red flag is that as clients we never consult with or get to meet any of these individuals who would be handling our cases prior to signing. As clients we are baited by mr powers, and switched after signing to strangers. In hindsight, I offer you these thoughts. Most people don’t have the time, patience or resources to consult with many attorneys, especially if your issues require you to need a criminal defense attorney, means that you’re probably in one of the most stressful periods of your life. At the time, as a senior university student and this being my first incident needing representation, I was fortunate enough to have the resources to be able to consult with many attorneys both in Denton and Dallas. Mr powers puts a lot of efforts marketing his firm through radio ads and mailers to get you to his door then makes a lot of big “feel good” statements during your consultation in order for you to become a client. If you find yourself in a situation needing a criminal defense attorney, I would recommend that before you sign to retain mr powers, to walk through the door facing his office door and at least consult with the attorney occupying the office across mr powers, Mr Ross. In hindsight and having consulted with him, John Ross runs a smaller firm which I believe can guarantee you the time and personal representation necessary for proper criminal defense. Unless you’re a high profile celebrity, such as Russ Martin, which seems to be the only way to guarantee you mr Powers time and attention.
