He Got my case dismissed!!!

Judge Powell has been amazing. Has made sure to keep me updated and prepare me for what to expect. His attention to detail is exceptional. I have never been in a situation to have a felony and I honestly was terrified, but Judge Powell made sure to take care of the case and showed so much support and... reassurance. His assistant is amazing also she has answered any questions I have and judge Powell and his assistant go above and beyond. The most exciting news is that today he got my felony charge DISMISSED!!!!! He 100% stands by his word and works miracles. I can’t thank him enough for everything he has done for me, he's Amazing

Respectfully, appreciatedrespectfully, appreciate it

When my son and I were searching for a lawyer who has specific (verifiable )experience, as it pertains to my son's court case. I was extremely pleased when a recommendation to consider Attorney, George Powell crossed my desk. Not only was his credentials exactly what we were looking for. His consul...tation was clear, concise, focused, and to the point. I found him to be a great communicator and proficient in the court processes and procedures, We will refer him to others.

Attorney/Judge Powell really helped our family by working hard on my behalf to get a dismissal. I would highly recommend Attorney/Judge Powell he was available anytime we had questions. He kept us in the loop throughout the entire process and made sure we understood what was going on.I highly recomme...nd him for your defense.

Criminal Defense

Attorney Powell is the best criminal law attorney I have ever worked with. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me and my husband in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable atto...rney at a great price, then go to George.
