John has saved me twice and worked miracles. He saved my life over 2 different DV cases. At first I questioned myself my life and john but after I realized he is not a joke in that court room I felt at easy. I trusted John with my life that was upside down and he turned it back to normal. He treats you like family. And he also worked with me on the price. I owe alot to this man. An amazing person and the best I have seen in a court room. I recommend him to everyone. Thank you John for everything especially my second chance and get out of jail free card. Keep up the good work..

I called John Powers with an urgent situation on behalf of my mother. From the get-go, I was put at ease. He took the time to listen to my story and did not make me feel rushed. Throughout our case, the communication was exceptional. Very important to me was knowing that if I needed to speak to my lawyer, I was confident that I would always get a timely call back. It was refreshing to find an attorney who always keeps you in the loop, and his advice was always perfect. Mr. Powers was thorough, extremely knowledgeable in what he does, and his instincts were spot on. I was confident going into the case that I had chosen the right attorney, and he delivered 100%. My family is very grateful to him and the representation he gave us. I was also very impressed with his office staff who were always polite, professional and patient when I needed to call them. I would 100% recommend Powers Law to family and friends. I feel very fortunate to have found such an exceptional attorney, as well as an attorney I can trust.

Being a nurse, it was very important to me that I found the best possible attorney to represent my case. John was very professional, efficient, and easy to communicate with. He was always available to answer any questions or concerns that I may have had throughout the court process. After a lot of hard work and fighting on my behalf, Mr Powers was able to get my case dismissed entirely as if it never happened! I would highly recommend and use again if I were to ever find myself in need.

There is no one more dedicated to helping people than John Powers, Esquire. I came to him so shaken up and upset, worried that my life was falling apart. He immediately put me at ease with his warm personality and knowledge of the law here in New York. We worked together on my legal issue and he made sure I was aware of all my rights, before making any decisions. Mr. Powers was there for me, day or night... always in touch, in case I had any questions or concerns or new developments. He repeatedly went out of his way to explain things that I didn’t understand due to ‘legalese’. I’ve known Mr. Powers for over 20 years and I’ve never found anyone better than him! Do not hesitate to call his office if you have any legal issues, questions or concerns. He is the most knowledgeable and intelligent lawyer that you’ll ever find. He gives his all to help his clients. There is no lawyer more dedicated than Mr. Powers! Give him a call. It’ll be the best decision you ever made!

I have spent the last year with Mr. Powers assisting me in my legal matters. Today was our final day in court and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. John was diligent and professional. I was being tried on my 3rd DWI and was looking at some decent jail time but, thanks to Mr. Powers, have not only come out practically unscathed but served no time in jail and have no criminal record. I can’t recommend him enough as a lawyer and just someone to have by your side throughout your legal circumstances.

I hired John when my 20 year old son was arrested and facing very serious and potentially life-altering charges. John knew from the start what needed to be done to get the best possible outcome. He walked us through and kept in touch with us the entire time. If a phone call was placed or an email sent, John would respond within 24 hours. Everything he did or advised us to do was in my son’s best interest and it paid off. At the onset of my son’s case he was looking at years in prison. In the end he was sentenced to days in the local jail. One person was surprised at the outcome of the case and told my son he “must have had a good lawyer”. Honestly, he actually had a great lawyer. Thank you, John....for everything.

I was convicted of a second DWI and John did everything he could to help lower the charges and keep me from going to jail or doing any community service. He was able to get it down, initially, from 5 years to 3 years probation with a felony on my record. As my case was nearing to an end, John was able to lower it to a misdemeanor and 2 years probation with good behavior over the next 8 months. He truly cares about the outcome of your case. I highly recommend him to be your lawyer.

I was in a bad situation after being arrested on a driving drug charge & I refused the chemical test....... Not because I was guilty but because the Officer wouldn’t accept urine as an alternative to the blood test.
Something that could of given the same results and I was more the willing to submit. Instead he arrested me & said I refused the test.
Originally I had legal aid Who didn’t show up to my DMV hearing on two separate dates resulting in my stupidity to continue without a lawyer & the revocation of my lincese.
I was also facing jail time & years of probation.
I knew I needed real help.
I met with John & immediately felt I was in good hands.....
he did not disappoint!!!
The DA who was stuck on the same offer during numerous appearances with legal aid,, went from 10 days jail & 3 years probation to a walk-thru & 3 years probation after my first appearance with John.
As this was unacceptable, He filed motions & was able to get me a hearing before trial.
*legal aid put in for motions Twice yet never filed any paperwork on my behalf.
I’m ashamed to admit this now but, After one of my appearances, I was annoyed with John because I thought he should of been doing certain things to elemnate some of my charges, Since I had the proof
After discussing this with him, he said he knew what he was doing even if I didn’t understand. I kept my faith in him & boy was he amazing.
He is a fierce advocate to have in your corner.
During my hearing into just 20 minutes of John’s cross examination the Judge took a recess to allow the DA to locate paperwork ....
it was during this break the Judge said To John
“I could proceed & let you continue beating up on the Officer but, there is no point since I’m dismissing everything.”
I have to say although I was extremely relived & happy,
I was a little disappointed he wasn’t allowed to proceed because John was mesmerizing to watch. I can’t say enough about his ability in the courtroom. He was extremely prepared & ready to win.
Honestly I believe the court knew John had just gotten started & if he would of been allowed to proceed, he would of been able to Prove the Trooper was lying & have him perjure himself.
I still have traffic violations to deal with but the majority of my problems are gone.
Because of his attention to detail,& his knowledge of the law..... He is a true expert on criminal law .... John’s expertises made it possible To be declared an Illegal Arrest!
No jail & No probation.
John is dedicated to providing the very best defense
He is BEYOND Extraordinary.
I couldn’t wait to write this review even before my case was over.... (which at this point should be in traffic court since the only charges left are traffic violations)
because I want the world to know how extremely amazing John is.
He was able to bring to light some of the Untrue things the officer was saying about me.
Once this is over, I hope I won’t have the need for legal help in the further but, if I do I know who to call & I will tell everyone I know to look no further
Hands down,
John Powers is the Man
This review doesn’t have enough stars for a man like John Powers!!!
My whole heartily thanks to John

Back in January of 2016, I was hit with 9 (yes nine) traffic tickets driving on the Long Island Expressway, including lapse of insurance (misdemeanor), invalid registration and inspection. In addition, my car was impounded and the car plates seized. Not a day I will forget.
I was referred to John Powers by another attorney who felt John was the right lawyer to take my case…and wow was he right! John was professional, knowledgeable and helped me throughout the entire process. He fought in court for the best results and delivered. My tickets were reduced from 9 to 4 lesser offenses, a small penalty and no points on my license. John is an excellent attorney and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
THANK YOU JOHN!

I hired Mr. Powers, as my attorney, in a criminal court proceeding. Mr. Powers is 100% dedicated to providing the best possible outcome and keeps you in the loop during every aspect of the proceeding. Mr. Powes has your best interests in mind and you can rest assure that you have made an excellent choice when you hire him. John is now my personal attorney, whom I trust 110% for any legal issues I may have in the future. I am very please with his ability to represent me in a very professional, respectful and aggressive fashion. Unlike most state appointed lawyers, John always kept in contact with me and filled me in with updates as it was happening. Whenever I called to talk to John, he always got back to me quickly. There are NO surpises or details left out when consulting with John. The outcome of my case was more than satisfying...I was estatic with the news that John had resolved my case in a way that I did not even expect. I deeply appreciate John's dedication to not just my case, but for his dedication to me as a person. I feel like he is more of a friend and not just a lawyer who is representing me. To anybody reading this review, I recommend John and his law group to represent you. I can not think of a single detractor nor do I have any complaints. John will be my go to attorney for any legal issues I have. Thanks John for all you have done for me!
