Timothy Edward Powers

Tim is the best criminal attorney you can hire. Unfortunately i had to hire him for two cases in a about a years time and it was a very stressful and nervous time. Tim met with me and discussed my cases with me personally, not an aide or assistant attorney but Tim himself. Tim is always straight forw...ard and honest with you when it comes to your case. He will offer his opinion but always reminds you of the worst case scenario. Tim and his staff always responded to my emails or phone calls quickly with case updates. Most of my interactions with Tim and his staff were conveniently done through email and phone calls, which was great for me and my work schedule. I am happy to post that Tim (who personally worked on both my cases) worked to get both of the pending charges against me dismissed by the DA's office. Again keep in mind this was two criminal cases within a 12 month period that got dismissed. I would highly and frequently do recommend the Law Offices of Tim Powers for your legal needs. I know if i need a lawyer their just a phone call away.

I chose the Law Offices of Tim Powers to represent me for a possession charge I received in Denton. After the initial consultation, Tim quickly informed me of all my options and ultimately got me into the first offender drug program. Along the way, I called the office with many questions regarding my... case and each time I was thoroughly answered by Tim himself or an associate. Each individual within the office was extremely personable and made me feel like I was in great hands. Could not have asked for better!

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.
