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.

Best attorneys EVER!

I had a dwi. I moved out of state before my case went to court when I finally did get notice of a hearing, I went alone then I hire this law firm. Because I now live out of state I didn’t want to be driving 1000 miles to many hearing dates, they took care of me, really! When it was time for my final... appearance I went spoke to my attorney Hailey and immediately fell in love with her personality. She gave me worst case and best case scenarios and believe it or not.... I got so much better than she even anticipated. Why? She is awesome. The judge even said to me that I had one “hell of an attorney cause, you got the best deal I’ve ever seen young lady”. This group of attorneys will WORK FOR YOU no doubt about it.

Hayley Brown is very knowledgeable and resourceful.

I am glad that I have chosen the Law Offices of Tim Powers to represent my case. I never have had in trouble with the law, I was charged with domestic abuse by prosecutor. Tim powers and the team ( Hayley Brown) has helped me through the process. My case was dismissed and dropped. I am so grateful ...that this firm law can get the job Done and Prevail.

Court first timer but Excellent service and people

I've never been in trouble with the law and I never thought I'd be in trouble with the law but life just happens and I'm always wise when it comes to making a decision especially when it's to present or protect me. I had a conflict and had to go to court for it and I looked at every option I had and ...at first I thought I could just do it on my own but I kept getting letters from Tim Powers Office on their service and how they wanted to help me out and explained that they can guide me through everything I needed to know and prepare myself for all the conclusions I had, at first I didn't pay attention to well to their letters because of course I had other letters with different Offices, Attorneys, etc. but for some wise and real reason Tim Powers never stopped mailing me so I just thought "why not" so I picked up my phone and gave Tim Powers a call, they were so precise and very professional with introducing themselves through call and explained to me that they didn't want me to just choose them right away but to give them a chance to talk to me and explain how they wanted to help me out through my lows in my life and get me back up on my feet, so I went in and put an appointment and they always let me come in at whatever time was best for me I was on my schedule not on theirs. I finally got convinced and hired them for my case and throughout the beginning to the end I had their full support no matter what, they were so real with my options but professionally, I loved it! They had such a great relationship with the Denton court judges and lawyers etc. they explained to me what time my court was, where it was, how to dress, and what to expect before even going into the court, they handled all of my paper work and read through it with me all I had to do was listen to them as they explained every single paper I was going to be given and the options on what to respond when spoken to. I was clueless about everything but they made me feel like I had nothing to worry about that's what there here for me for so they can help me through my lows, once inside the court my attorney was already there waiting for me with all my papers ready for me to come inside with them, they told me to take seat and they went up at the stage or desks and started filling out papers as they greeted themselves to all the other attorneys in the room, each and every time I went to court all I did was sit back and watch my attorney move and fill out paper work until they called me up to sign papers or talk to the judge it was amazing, soemthing I thought was gonna be so hard was so easy! I remember Tim Powers office would always call me a week and a day before my court was just to make sure I remembered it was great, before going into court I remember I was on my way to the court I was wondering if I could wear a jacket so I emailed my attorney and asked and they responded so fast! Now I have finally finished with court so much faster than I thought and I can't ever pay back what Tim Powers helped me through my lows in life, they deserve every star you can give them and everyone should go at least talk to them and let them see the light and guidance they have for each of our futures, avvo.com this is my story, Tim Powers ALL THE WAY!

Awesome lawyer!!

I came to the law offices of Tim Powers with somewhat of a very complicated case. Facing a very lengthy prison term. His whole staff was very helpful in telling me exactly what my options were. For over a year they worked with me and had several court hearings. Grace is an amazing lawyer and really w...ent to bat for me when it came down to my plea. The judge even told me i was very lucky to have her as my defense and his outcome would have been different had i not. I was given probation and the chance to be a free man with my family. I highly recommend the services Tim Powers has to offer.
