BEST IN TEXAS
Judge Powell worked with me for 3 years on a felony case that was dismissed. He was confident in his abilities, which in turn improved my mood and opinion about the situation. Very attentive and he is respected in the courtroom, which is the most valuable thing in my opinion. Highly Recommended.
