      Great Result from Excellent Lawyer

      Posted by

      Dennis believed in my innocence and fought to defend me on 4 cases. He got 3 dismissed and a short deferred adjudication on 1. He was always on time in court and returned all my calls promptly. Thank you Dennis

      Very Professional

      Posted by

      Mr. Powell was hired by my husband and I to represent my son. He diligently worked with us, demonstrating confidence and integrity; getting my sons' charge lowered from a felony to a misdemeanor with deferred adjudication. We are thankful that we hired Mr. Powell and we would gladly recommend him to our family and friends.

      Case dismissed

      Posted by

      Dennis was able to get my cases dismissed during the pandemic which was very difficult. He stayed on the prosecutors and didn’t take no for an answer. I would recommend hiring Dennis to handle your case.

      I would recommend Dennis Powell in a heartbeat !! Dennis’s long history of experience in the court room and professionalism made me feel I was in good hands. He thoroughly explained each step & my case was dismissed “ Motion to Supress! He was affordable and provided excellent communication ( easy to talk and relate too) through out the whole process.

      Charming lawyer

      Posted by

      Dennis believed in my innocence from jump! He asked lots of questions about the charges and my connection with codefendant. He obtained documents and affidavits that proved I was innocent. At first the prosecutor seemed reluctant but she reviewed all the evidence and documents that Dennis gave her And finally agreed that I was not involved. She dismissed the case. Dennis said no big deal because I was innocent. It was a big deal to me. He’s wonderful, extraordinary!!!

      Mr. Powell did exactly what he said he was going to do after hearing my case. He said he wanted both misdemeanor and felony dismissed because he knew I was innocent. Extremely nice and honest. And also very affordable which put the cherry on top. Mr . Powell is going to be my go to guy if I ever need a lawyer.
