Deferred felony

Mr.Powell is a very well respected lawyer, He provided me a great service ,during my case he was courteous to my wants and needs out of my case . He is very confident in what he does , and delivers, he never had me guessing he was very open , and honest during my case . In under a year he was able to... get my felony deferred to Judication , with a light probation !! I am so grateful he was recommended to me by a close friend , I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great , reliable, awesome ,respected lawyer, who is going to get you the best outcome possible!

You’re in Good Hands!!

George Powell is amazing! I did not know him prior to him helping my family, but he was all in and was able to expertly assist and solve my problem-prior to it becoming a bigger issue. He was dedicated to ensuring my family was taken care of and was in contact with us constantly from beginning to res...olution. I would highly recommend Attorney Powell to my friend and family. Nice to know he is on our side!

Wonderful Attorney

After looking for an attorney for a over year and a half, I was referred to Mr. Powell by a family friend. I contacted Mr. Powell on a Wednesday afternoon and he immediately starting working on my case. Three days later he traveled from Houston, Texas to Dallas, Texas to meet with my husband and I. H...e reviewed my paperwork and my case and reassured me that he would be able to handle my case and get it dismissed. He put papers on the docket, kept me informed, and he was always a phone call away. It took 5 months from him to get the case dismissed. Mr. Powell was always professional, polite, and courteous. I give Mr. Powell a 5 star rating for handling my case with his professional expertise.
