Vice President

Mr. Powell provided our organization with exceptional service throughout a long and challenging case. He organized an outstanding team to assist him and exhibited excellent leadership to that team. Mr. Powell kept us up-to-date with ongoing communication, laying out all the facts at hand and the lega...l actions in play. We felt very much engaged in the case and very supported by Mr. Powell and his team. In the end, it was Mr. Powell's stellar courtroom skills that helped us win the case.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
