Best Legal Experience I've Ever Had and Heard Of! So Responsive, Assertive and Gets Action! Forget the Hammer, He's the Bomb!

Tim Powers and his team (Kate specifically) was absolutely awesome to deal with! I found myself in a family domestic violence situation falsely accused and facing some serious felony charges and Tim was diligent in pursuing the facts, evidence and turning it around in my favor so I didn't even have ...to go to court-the DA dropped the charges! Kate was fantastic. They both regularly answered my e-mails and questions after hours and put my mind at ease about my situation. All in all, I believe it took 3-4 weeks from beginning to end for my case to be absolved but considering what my potential charges were this was nothing! He has a radio show with someone on it just like my story and one time I called into his office and heard the radio show and it's no lie-my situation ended up EXACTLY like that person on his show. You hear a lot about some hammer attorney in town-forget about him, Tim is the bomb!

exceptional lawyer

Tim Powers is an exceptional lawyer. He is speaking to me in a medication conveyance case in Denton County. .He is most proficient and amazingly solid. He has been tried and true and reliable. Despite the fact that I live out of state, Mr. Forces and his office have effectively kept me up to speed on... the advancement of my case. I began being extremely eager and needed quick conclusion. Tim let me know that the better results take quite a while and I should have been persistent. He was completely right. It assumed control more than 4 months to have the medications tried by the state lab and once the outcomes were known my lawyer went in "fight mode." The outcomes couldn't have been something more. I was educated for the current week the case had been released. I was confronting up to 20 years in jail and couldn't be more eased. Much obliged to you.

We thought we were paying for Mr. Powers to represent us, not an Associate.

Mr. Power's office represented us on a DWI case. Our initial meeting he was fantastic, Tim told us how he wants to personally represent us & walked us through his strategy. We paid his retainer & spoke to him one other time. Mr. Powers would not return our calls after multiple messages. Instead we c...ould only speak to his front desk receptionists or office assistants. Next, we were assigned to one of his staff Attorney's. Not someone we would have picked, however we had already paid a retainer. We then spent months being put through the system & received a typical plea bargain (BTW-If we wanted to go to court vs the plea, it was a whole new fee). Mr. Powers sold us hat he would personally represent us, however he pushed to us to an staff associates. In summary , we thought we were paying for Tim to represent us, not an Associate.

Great Results / Great Representation / Great Attorney

Tim Powers is an outstanding attorney. He is representing me in a drug delivery case in Denton County. .He is most knowledgeable and extremely reliable. He has been dependable and trustworthy. Although I live out of state, Mr. Powers and his office have successfully kept me up to speed on the prog...ress of my case. I started out being very impatient and wanted immediate closure. Tim told me that the better results take a long time and I needed to be patient. He was absolutely right. It took over 4 months to have the drugs tested by the state lab and once the results were known my attorney went in "battle mode." The results couldn't have been better. I was informed this week the case had been dismissed. I was facing up to 20 years in prison and couldn't be more relieved. Thank you.

Could't have asked for a better result

I really appreciate all that Tim Powers and his law office did for me with my drug case. I’ve listened to some real horror stories about the lack of representation by some attorneys - especially in Denton County. I’m so very fortunate that my brother brought me to his firm. That the representation h...ey gave me was excellent. I realize that the respect that the D.A. has for Tim and his office is the reason for the leniency that I was given. He also took the time to explain everything to me despite my unfamiliarity with the legal system. It is unusual to me for someone I’ve known for such a short time to show me the kindness that Tim Powers and the staff at his office showed me. My case is now closed, I have no criminal record and everything is clear. But I will forever be thankful that Tim fought hard to get me a good result that would not plague me forever.
