Very Responsible and Good to Work With

Mr. Powers went out of his way to help me with my situation that was conflicted with a prodigal son. He worked very well with an excellent divorce team at our settlement conference, we did not have to go to court as a consequence of unresolved matters. I highly recommend Mr. Powers.

Very Professional Family Law Attorney

My ex wanted to take my children out of the country. To make a long story short - I wouldn't have my children anymore without Randy. I really appreciate all of his help

Posted by Kasandra | July 6, 2016

Thank you Mr. Powers!

Mr. Powers is one of the most amazing, caring and thoughtful lawyers I have ever met. Not only did he help me with my case but he also gave me and my family constant reassurance that he would do his best as we were going through a tough time. Mr. Powers worked vigorously on my case and did all that he could to take care of my legal needs. He worked so hard on my case we were able to get an appeal in a matter of weeks. I feel that he gave his absolute best to me and my family and I am forever grateful for all of his help. I recommend Mr. Powers to all people looking for a great family lawyer!

Rhonda Panken

Family Attorney | Mar 15
Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I worked together with Randy representing the Father of a toddler, in a hotly contested interstate custody matter, where the Mother absconded with the child from New Mexico to New York City and filed for divorce, custody and limited visits for the Father. Randy was a pleasure to work with and helped the Dad regain custody of his young daugther. Randy was persuasive in Court and in oral argument, in matters of strategy with both adversaries and on behalf of the client, in his written papers, and in negotiations. I was impressed with the sound guidance and patience he provided to our mutual client. The case was decided favorably for the client and made new law on interstate custody in the State of New York. Randy was a big part of this client's success."
