Experience

As I was looking in my newborns eyes and rejoicinging in the news of my Dismissal.Thankful for people like Judge Powell! The true meaning of an Attorney, one who defends his people and fulfills his motives of proving the facts and understanding leverages. He is a Towson Tiger and I shared that connec...tion with him and even if we didn't the bond would have felt the same. He has an established reputation in the courts with Judges,Bailiffs, District Attorneys,and other lawyers. His office is conveniently located in the downtown area worked with me payment wise and trust me for anyone who knows that Legal fees can be very expensive. I am overly satisfied with his hard work to get my two felonies dismissed. I am now able to continue on with life and it's because of The Powell Law Firm!

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.

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. Initially, we were nervous and a bit skeptical, but Judge Powell reassured us that he had the expertise to get the case dismissed. There w...ere times when we were ready to settle, but he advised us to push for trial, and in the end, the case was dismissed. His knowledge, expertise, and honest guidance were invaluable throughout the process. We highly recommend him to anyone in need of a skilled and trustworthy attorney.
