Client review
We hired Judge Powell last year with the hope of getting my husband's case dismissed, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome; he delivered exactly that.

Best Attorney
I have known Judge Powell for years. Who knew I would ever need his help, after being charged with multiple cases? My cases were dismissed today before trial. I am so appreciative and I highly recommend him.

Great lawyer
Judge George Powell has been a great help to me and my family. He has represented me and several family members for years. I was recently falsely accused of a crime and Judge Powell came through for us once again. He is our lawyer for life! Call him if you need legal help.

Unlawful Carry that was lawful
I went into my situation very concerned. Falsely accused and attacked by county sheriff's. Judge Powell stood with me and made the wrongs right. Had the courts return my property and drop the fake charges that were against me. He was great and professional. Would not let me be taken advantage of.
