Awesome Team to have on your side

Me. Powell's team went beyond what they were committed to do and recovered property damage as well. They handled my case quickly and was there for me anytime I had questions. Gladis was awesome. I will always call Paul Powell!!

Great Service

Paul did exactly what I'd expect a skilled attorney to do. I was left without anywhere to go once my insurance company put me in a tough place after my car accident. The insurance company knew I wasn't at fault, but they still wouldn't help. Paul was in constant communication with the insurance co...mpany and fought on my behalf. He fought for the money I needed to undergo medical procedures that alleviated my pain. Thanks to him and my medical providers I feel much better. I can't thank Paul enough.

Kindness too hard to find these days 100% Your Man

Wow !! that really sums it up but I will start when I first came into the office and I had just been in an auto accident and as I stand there checking in a man standing to my left in normal jogging clothing that I wasn't really aware of until I turned around to the side and he immediately he took ...my hand and said I'm Paul.. Mr. Powell and his team we're 100% behind me and there for me at a phone call away or a drop in at the office if you want a lawyer that cares that knows what he's doing he's your guy. He handled my car accident case as well as my daughter-in-law's accident case he even settled hers first. He'll tell you the truth and will give you your options .gives you time to process those options .he's very patient .he truly is a very kind man as well as a he'll of a lawyer..I am proud to say Mr Paul Powell is my lawyer.

Fantastic Job!!!

I have never been in an accident before. I called Paul's office and met with him the same day. He was great and calmed my fears down quite a bit. I had a lot of anxiety. He made me feel like everything was going to be okay. In the end, he was right. Paul has done everything he said he would do f...or me and more. My case took about five months to settle, but he told me about his plan each step of the way. I know Paul has a busy office it seems, but I have never had a problem getting a call back from anyone in his office. I didn't know what to expect out of an accident. I got more money than I thought I would. I hope I never need Paul again. But if I do, or any of my friends and family members do, I would tell them to call Paul. He was a definite blessing.

Powell and team are professional, delegent with my care

I am a current client. I tried working with the other insurance company and they basically told me to pound sand and hire an attorney. Powell Law Firm was reccommended by a friend, so I called them. They were on my case the first day making sure I had the proper health care, vehicle, etc. If I leave ...a message, they diligently call me back. They communicate with me constantly through emails and phone. I don't understand the issues others have because I have not experienced that at all. They didn't have to take care of the personal property, however they did. I feel confident I made the right choice and they have taken very good care of me. I highly recommend calling them to be sure your rights are protected.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2020.

Reprimanded issued in NV, 2020

updated on 06/03/2021

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
