RUN

I do not recommend !!!! Horrible communication and a lack of professionalism. Calls and emails go unanswered, no matter what time of day you call, and when responses are given, they are NO HELP. Instead of receiving clear updates, I am repeatedly given the runaround with no real progress. This has be...en going on for 3 years , and This level of service is unacceptableAND DISGUSTING I DO NOT recommend this firm to anyone seeking reliable legal representation.

Posted by Jamin | December 23, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Highly recommended

Attorney Willie Powells and his professional team of consultants represented me on a criminal charge I was falsely accused of back in 2012. Attorney Powellls worked with me hands-on and kept me informed every step of the way. Not only was he available 100% of the time but with the help of his staff h...e provided extra services such as transportation and scheduling to make sure my needs were met. Most importantly I felt safe and secure knowing he truly cares for his clients. In the end I was unanimously discharged of all accounts. I highly, highly recommend Attorney Willie Powells. Trust me you will NOT be disappointed!

The BEST Lawyer

Mr. Powell was very friendly, professional and courteous in this whole experience. He took the time to explain each and every step in the legal process to us. He was prompt in answering phone calls and emails and was always forthcoming with information pertaining to our case. Thank you Mr. Powells.

Posted by Kimberly | June 17, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Attorney Powells is most professional

What I absolutely loved about working with Attorney Powells is how transparent he was with the process and where we were in each phase of the case. My case took an extremely long time to get settled and he never once urged me to do anything that I wasn't comfortable with. He explained everything that... was going on and made sure I was making a sound decision that I understood and was very comfortable with. I recommend him to others often because he is simply an awesome attorney, and I've never said that about an attorney.

Legal counsel

Mr. Powell provided legal counsel on a civil litigation issue. I was lost, Mr. Powell explained to me the facts and legal process of resolutions for civil litigation. Mr. Powell's knowledge was very valuable.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
