Outstanding & smarter attorney than any I have Met, interviewed or hired-8 years later

I was ensnared in a corupt child protective services juvenile matter (DCFS) and my 2 children which started in Dec 2007. although it was dragged out in local juvenile court over the next 2 years in a manner which was done as a punitive means by the temp judge- He helped ensure my children weren't tak...en away thru that time. I knew my civil rights and those of my children's were violated from day 1- I am blessed that he responded to my massive blanketing of law firms, and that he is an expert in the field of suing CPS DCF for violations of rights. I learned that the smartest attorneys, one's that know they would accept a civil rights law suit against a government group but get actively involved at a much earlier stage can work miracles. He is the most down to earth, well grounded attorney I have still yet to meet. Outside of standard qualifiers when hiring an attorney The best lawyer you could ever get is one who is relatable, and smart enough to see how to beat them at their own game. "Bob Powell got me and my familyb1.6 million dollars from the City of Los Angeles". ...

My Angel Robert Powell, Heaven sent!!

This the is the greatest attorney of all time, nothing but god sent. He made me realize my calling and have a business because of his heaven sent sole, compassion. He made sure my child was never in the care of the unethical people the devil sent. He made sure she was set free from corrupt practices ...from judges and social services. He is following the land of the laws, he is honoring the Constitution of the United States. Mr. Powell is honoring the Bill Of Rights, puts a stop to violation of citizens 42 U.S.C 1983. What a honor to have God send such a person . I have a dream that one day some in higher places such as judges would follow his lead. Thank u from the bottom of my heart, let freedom ring!!!! I want to become a Civil Rights Attorney and working towards it because of this great attorney.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Robert Powell on a complex civil rights litigation involving the illegal removal of children from their parents. There is certainly something to be said for working on a case with an attorney who was the attorney in the appellate court cases you are citing to the court as authority in support of your case. Powell is an elite attorney in this area of law."
