Our History
A TRUSTED
FULL SPECTRUM LAW FIRM
WHETHER CIVIL OR CRIMINAL,
WE HAVE THE EXPERIENCE
Civil Actions
We've recovered millions for our clients in personal injury suits and insurance cases. Our attorneys have represented insurance companies and know how to fight for you.
Criminal Matters
We have decades of criminal and trial experiences, with several hundred cases in Alabama courts. We focus specifically on South Alabama and know how to represent our clients well.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
The Powell Law Firm PC has always endeavored to treat each and every client the way that we would like to be treated. Each client should be provided personal attention and communication should be of utmost importance. Most complaints against attorneys are based on lack of communication between attorneys and clients.
It is our philosophy that when extensive, honest communication exists in an attorney/client relationship it enables both sides to be informed, knowledgeable, and comfortable and therefore leads to success in most cases. Affective legal representation should be a team effort between lawyer and client.
