I hired her in 2017 about July for a standard parenting plan, who then proceeded to do nothing until i knocked on her door that november, furious gonna fire the lady. They assured me they would hop on it and get things done. the following summer around august nothing still has happened except my daughter being taken out of the country. They charged ME to do their job. In which i looked up applicable laws wrote a letter and got my resolution, christmas after spamming her garbage answering service 27 calls i finally got her to answer to which i give her 30 days to do something. Nothing of course was done, by the time March 2019 is over she is fired and i find she charged me $2400+ to do nothing. In addition she thought it necessary to contact my mother to plead for her status as my lawyer. A person she was not authorized to communicate with about my case or her dealings with me. Yes I filed a grievance and no I am not at all done.

Connie fought for me even when I was not fighting for myself. She kept the emotions out of the proceedings, but was compassionate when I needed it. Would recommend her and her staff for anyone going through this turmoil.

I thought long and hard about how I wanted to have redress from this attorney, who I believe overcharges. I tried reaching out to her after my matter finished in court, but she ignored me. I had a family court matter that I needed to be adjudicated in Washington. It was mutually agreed between my ex-spouse and me, a straightforward case. The case was initially in New York State, but since no party no longer lives there, I thought it would be wise to have registered in the jurisdiction in which the children live, as they will be graduating high school soon. My ex and I came up with an agreement, just needed a lawyer to handle the mechanics and file it. Neither of us had to appear in court; there were no hearings, no trial. Connie charged me 7500 dollars for what was a routine matter. Stay away from this attorney; you will be asked to sign a ‘minimum fee’ agreement, not a ‘retainer’; I wish I had paid closer attention, my mistake can be your learning experience. If she works 1 hour or 50, you pay the same. I think she violates Washington statutes about excessive fees, but I have a life and decided to move on. Learn from my experience, find another attorney, this one had the paralegal draw everything up, using forms that anyone can download from the state (fill-in forms). I only talked to Connie for about 20 minutes during the entire process, is that worth $7500? For a routine matter? No, it is not. Find another attorney that has reasonable fees. I speak as someone that has had lawyers in the NY metro area were the rates are much higher and have represented myself in court on both child support and custody. There is no way she earned that $7500, I specifically asked for an accounting (along with my complaint about the fee) of all the time spent, both by email and in writing. I was ignored, so now I take to the forums.

Connie has helped a couple people I know with their DUIs. She helped them get better deals and was there anytime they had questions.

Connie help my wife and I with a family issue. Connie was very knowledgeable about the law and the procedure. She was very upfront and honest with us. She resolved the issue in a timely manner . I would recommend Connie to the fullest with your family law issues

Connie has worked with me for years and has never let me down. She is a smart attorney and a great person. I would recommend her to anyone .

If you are looking for a lawyer that is compassionate, yet an aggressive advocate for you and your child/children, Connie Powell is it. I had a negative experience with a previous lawyer, which had shaken my faith in attorneys. Attorneys are in a powerful position to play a positive or negative role in the creation of your future family life when it comes to divorce, custody and child neglect issues. It’s incredibly important to have someone who will be an advocate for you, yet remain honest about the tough stuff. Connie is that person. She is an assertive, determined, backer who will do your heavy lifting in the courtroom. Moreover, she is meticulous in her paperwork/evidence and can be trusted to have it done on time and correctly. This is exceedingly important, as I learned from the previous lawyer’s mistakes, it can make or break your case, as well as determine your family’s future. Connie is one of those rare Lawyers who actually cares about you and your children. You honestly cannot go wrong with her. I am in absolute gratitude for her dedication to my case and it's outcome.

Connie Powell is an excellent attorney. Connie completed a divorce process in record time. She is knowledgeable in so many different aspects of the law. As a close friend I trust Connie to represent me or any one I know with perseverance and determination to get the results you need!

Went through a hard divorce. But got ahold of Connie Powell and she was great helped me with all my paperwork. Went over the case and was. Dry realistic for the gate. Hopefully won't need anymore lawyers but if I do I know where to go

When CPS came after my wife and I based upon malicious allegations, I was referred to Connie Powell by several other attorneys, and for good reason. She and her team are the best. She is expert, professional, and tough...very tough. She was both a shield and an advocate, and after retaining her we felt relief....and for good reason, she got the investigators off of our back...and today we received a certified letter from CPS stating (correctly) that the allegations against us were unfounded.

Connie represented me for a relocation that almost went to trial and was amazing. She was great with keeping me informed on everything that was going on with my case and I knew that she was really fighting for me! She is a very down to earth person and is very easy to relate to. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!

Connie represented me in a divorce. She was impeccable and I did not have to worry about my case. She took care of my case and worked to get my situation resolved.
