Judge George Powell is Like no other
Judge George Powell was literally heaven sent!! He was able to get my husband a bond set and probation reinstated after our previous attorney had him stuck in Harris County with no bond and trying to sign for 7years TDC. Judge Powell was very understanding and helped talk me through and gave me hope ...

Amazing lawyer
Mr. George Powell is an amazing attorney. Extremely attentive, he will always communicate when he will give you a call back when he is busy, very supportive, and assured me everything will be okay. I recommend him to everyone. This man knows what he is doing.

Crying tears of Joy!
Very professional, informative and precise. Relationships go a long way too. This firm is respected and heard. If your lawyer isn't confident the courts will just treat you as another criminal . There are levels to this and they represent top tier!!
