Look Around

I'm sorry, I don't like doing things like this and hardly ever leave reviews but I think it is best that if you need a lawyer, and are going to spend a LOT of money, do some research and really check out the comments. Tim is basically a really nice guy, yet I have no idea how good of a lawyer he is. ...He showed me a LOT of interest until my check cleared. Then I basically never saw him again. Almost 3 years after getting a "deal" that I really didn't want or like, from one of his assistants who I told I wanted to take it to trial and she would have none of it, I am still having tons of problems with my drivers license and all that they will do at the office every time I call or go back there is just look it up and verify what the DPS has told me already. Then just a blank stare and silence and a " good luck with that". This is after they told me in the beginning that I had done everything I needed to do and that there would be no problems. So, I'm on my own, like I have been since I hired them. You are going to pay them a huge amount of money and wind up doing almost all of the legwork on you're own. And the best of luck to you trying to get hold of Tim once you have paid. They are very good about contacting you when you owe them money though. Anything else and you will be lucky to get a call back after you have called them seven or eight times. I'm just really disappointed. 4500.00 plus additional fees and I think they spent a total of about 30 minutes in the courtroom, which is right next door, and they won't even consider helping me with my license issue. Like I said, check has already been cashed. I'm sure for another 4K they might actually help me get my license issue handled. I hate being sarcastic but I am really upset.

Did not represent me to the best of his ability

Well he made promises that he couldnt keep. Didnt show up to my court dates and had his associates come in his place. Because of his incompetent i had to serve 5 years on probation and it ruined my life

Tim Powers is a horrible Attorney

Tim had an attitude with my family members when they called for answers as to why my bond had not been set. He was short with me, and upon removing him from my case he presented a refund and itemized statement detailing the way my retainer was applied. I was billed for every time he spoke to anyone o...n the phone on regards to my case. His fees were outrageous and unfair. I will never recommend his services to anyone.

terrible representation

The reviews about this attorney mishandling DUI cases are true. Make sure you do your research and do not sign a contract? I know facts about my case & I initially spoke to Mr. Powers then all of a sudden months later my cases was handled by one of his staff members grace in which she had my case con...fused with another case, incorrect facts gave me the wrong court date & didn't even know my name smh. On top of that instead of reviewing the facts of my DUI case this office advised me that the DA did not "like" the way that I spoke to the officer that arrested me even though I am clearly innocent of this crime I was charged smh? Mr. Powers is a former prosecuter so naturally he's going to believe that your are guilty until proven innocent. Not to mention the first staff member my case had been handled to quite the firm b/c of punishments that Mr. Powers felt like his clients deserved. Be very careful, extremely careful. Your first time speaking with Mr. Powers might be your last. After you have paid them then everything doesn't matter anymore. If your case is given to Grace you better run & run away fast & never look back!!

The law office of Tim powers is a joke. The hype you up during the consultation and that's all their good for. The DA had no evidence and still received 16 months probation. They did nothing but take my money. And he set it up to where I can not appeal my case. If your looking for a lawyer I would re...commend looking elsewhere! He is glad to take your money and leaving you in the dark! He will not negotiate your case with the DA. Tim powers is the DA's whipping boy and yes man!
