The lawyers at Tim Powers took care of me.

I had a legal matter randomly come up in Denton county and came to tim powers to help me resolve it. The legal process and communication with Denton county was very long due to COVID-19. I wish the law office would have kept me better informed while during the process because the situation made me ve...ry anxious. But if I ever had a specific question the people at the front desk did what they could to help me out. The result of the case will be a dismissal, which makes me very happy.

Hire this attorney

I hired Tim to represent my daughter. Tim communicated well and kept me up to date with the status of the case. I would use him again if needed.

Promises not made

My case was 10 years ago this November for purchase and furnish to minors. I went to Tim Powers based off his radio ads and his initial letter after I bonded out. When I met Mr. Powers; he was completely professional. He explained the serious charges I was facing, and that being a first time offender... with a clean record outside of this one incident he would fight for me to be put into a youth probation program. Which after completion the charges would be dropped and my life would go back to normal. I was under age and did not actually purchase nor furnish the alcohol, which made me believe what he said. Mind you I was a young stupid 19 year old who thought protecting my friends was the right thing to do little did I know it was the worst thing I could ever do with my life. Mr Powers kept me in the loop with just court dates through letter mail. When my final court date came he approached my mother and I with a bargain from the prosecution. Instead of being put into the youth program I was made example of with being punished under every stipulation outside of jail time. Mr Powers showed up late and said that it was the best he could do. I dont believe today that what he said then was true. I believe I was just another dollar sign. I remember immediately after finishing my cout ordered requirements. I was sent a letter for sealment of my records just another way for Mr Powers office to get more money from a client he did not properly represent. I am disappointed and disgusted with the fact now 10 years later I am having to try to fight and if possible clear my name. I do not deny underage drinking with what I thought were friends 10 years ago was smart it was the dumbest thing I ever did, Protecting them from getting in trouble was even worse since in reality I never purchased that alcohol. I hope for any one searching for a lawyer with a similiar charge; they stay weary of Mr Powers and his broken promises.

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!

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.
