I would like to give my utmost recommendation of Bill's services to anyone charged with a DWI in North Carolina. I choose to retain him after seeing what others had to say on avvo.com and after seeing him work in court, I am glad that I trusted the recommendations of others. It was obvious that he is an extremely respected attorney in the community based on the reactions of the prosecution and court officials when they found out that he was representing me in my case. He was very polite, yet extremely viscous in proving my case. He preformed like a rock star. He took my case (which other lawyers wanted to try to plea-bargain) and got it dismissed in a very dominating fashion. He used a combination of the law, science, common-sense and his top notch skill as a trial attorney. A handful of people followed us out of the courtroom to get contact information from Bill for cases that their friends and family were involved in. Mr. Powers knows the law, and he was able to put the law to work in my favor. I found him and his staff to be extremely pleasurable to work with, and he truly does care about the people that he represents. He even gave me a ride back to my hotel because he didn't want me to waste money on a cab. If you are arrested for DWI in North Carolina you will need a high powered attorney and you would be silly not to call Bill first.

I received a traffic citation in Mecklenburg County for an Improper Lane Change. Living outside Mecklenburg County I consulted with a lawyer in my city who referred me to the Powers Law Firm. I could not be more pleased with their representation. Their lawyers got my case voluntarily dismissed resulting in no additions to my clean driving record and no additional costs for my insurance premiums. I cannot recommend the firm more highly and would certainly use them again D.P.

I can't thank the attorney's and staff enough for their help and guidance during this difficult time. I was informed of what to expect throughout the entire process. The courts changed things due to the pandemic multiple times and each time I was thoroughly informed and kept in the loop. The staff was always available to answer my questions (or return my call/email quickly) and help navigate my concerns with the entire process. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Bill Powers and his staff!

Bill Powers represented a family member in a legal matter and I couldn't be more pleased. It was a tough situation that could have gone either way. Mr Powers did an excellent job of communicating the complexities, describing the possible scenarios, and making recommendations. We felt he gave us his full attention and were very happy with the outcome.

When you're dealing with a legal issue, you want the best of the best. In my opinion, just having the book smarts is not enough. A good attorney needs to know the complexities of the law and understand the nuances of the local court system, and that only comes with experience. When I hired Bill Powers and his team based on a recommendation from a friend to help me with a legal matter, I found Bill and the team are the best of the best. They are compassionate and responsive. They treat you with respect. Bill sets reasonable expectations for outcomes, lets you know the best and worst scenarios, and you know he's going to try to get the best outcome he can possibly get for you. Bill and the team was able to get a complete dismissal of all my issues! Thank you Bill and team!

Recently, I had the good fortune of being represented by Mr. Bill Powers and his Powers Law Firm, P.A., located in Charlotte, North Carolina. I am a Maryland resident that was arrested and charged in North Carolina in a case with a complicated probable cause. After reviewing different law firms online, I selected the Powers Law Firm. My experience working with the firm, including the legal assistants and other employees, was excellent. The firm’s staff and legal assistants were all very responsive and helpful, and they always promptly returned my emails and calls. I was well prepared for my day in court, and I elected to have Bill Powers himself to represent me. I found that Mr. Bill Powers was very attentive to detail, and very good about sharing with me his extensive knowledge of North Carolina law. Once I was in court, it was apparent that Mr. Powers was very well respected by the judge, the district attorney, and the officers that came to court that day. And, Bill Powers was worth his weight in gold while representing me in court. My case was dismissed, and I’m very grateful to both Bill Powers, as well as his very well run law firm. If your case is very important to you, I highly recommend Bill Powers and his law firm.

I have only been working with Bill and his team for about a week now. He has done a phenomenal job communicating with me regarding my case and providing me with similar case studies. I have been nervous, anxious, and scared during this whole process but their knowledge of the law and willingness to fight gives me hope and encouragement. They are not here to drag you down but to work FOR you. It’s comforting when you know that things are being taken care of and your case is constantly being looked after. I KNOW I made the right decision with this law firm.

I endorse and absolutely recommend Bill and his team for any service. Bill was able to dismiss a serious case even during these unprecedented times. My case was more complicated than a speeding or DUI type case. I was beginning to lose hope during this pandemic that had caused my case to be continuously delayed and was set to be delayed for a year. This had an adverse affect on me obtaining a job during this pandemic. Bill and his team showed their ability to understand my situation and worked tirelessly to have my charges dismissed. I have dealt with multiple associates within this group and each interaction had its own personal touch and I always felt that the team gave their full attention to my case. Even during this period of social distancing, Bill and his team showed a natural ability to consistently communicate effectively. Bill, thank you once again for everything!
