Hired Attorney Ralph W. Powers Jr.

Mr. Powers erased many years of anguish in only one office visit. He was respectful and courteous, a great listener, extremely knowledgeable, and provided excellent advice. He was down-to-earth and decreased our fear of lawyers. How we wish we had sought his advice earlier. Highly recommended.

Hired Law Firm

spent time on court issues repeatedly with/out results. I was assigned three interns with/in the time spent on my case. My fee's was much more than the dispute was about,and he knew that was not my will.I complain to Mr.Powers about it and he adjusted my bill,then tells me he shouldn't have taken the case. The case is costing me far more of the amount of what i was trying to recover. I was very miss leaded.

Hired Law Firm

Tai Lowry, an associate at this firm, has posted my picture online and in a Facebook group soliciting information and enticing people to harass me. She has made extremely vulgar, defamatory comments of a sexual nature. I am currently in the process of filing a complaint with the BAR association and proceeding with a lawsuit for defamation. This firm is fully aware of the harassment and defamatory comments made by their associate Tai Lowry.

Hired Law Firm

Please do not use this lawyer. He is very miss leading about what he will fully to when you actually goto court. Met with him a week before actual court date. When the day of actual court date came. He only did 1 out of 3 things we discussed. Told us during court he would explain after. He never gave a real reason and kept changing the subject. Please, do not use this lawyer or his firm. You will be paying more in fees then the case is worth to begin with. Very, very deceitful!!

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
