Great attorney !

I hired Mr. Powell to defend me on a DWI case. It was a complicated case and Mr. Powell was with me through the entire grueling process. I received 9 months probation and Mr. Powell fought for me and I was able to get an early termination of probation after 6 months.

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.

Best Attorney Ever

By far the greatest attorney I’ve encountered! George Powell worked magic for my fiancé who was accused of 3 aggravated robberies and he got them all dismissed. My Fiancé even had priors and still he managed to prove to the court he was innocent without us even having to take it to trial. He is perso...nable, punctual, and always there when you need him. We will forever be grateful to him and his team!
