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.

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!

Railroad Conductor

At one point, the estimable Mr. Powers told me that, regarding my case, my wife (R.) was the only person who was on my side. Really? What about my lawyer? (Believe me, R. remembers this incident well. Made her pretty mad, actually.) At the time of this review, Mr. Powers has, including mine,... three reviews, and TDCJ inmates do not have Internet access. So, I'm not writing this from prison.
