Areas of Practice

Criminal Law

 

Criminal Law is designed to punish - and punishment usually involves depriving someone of their freedom. Therefore, criminal law is an extremely important area of our practice.

Criminal cases can include: assault; burglary; conspiracy; crimes against children; DWI; evading arrest; felon in possession of a weapon; murder; theft; unlawful carrying of a weapon; white collar crime and many others.

If you have been charged with either a state or federal crime, and your freedom is in jeopardy, call The Powell Firm. With many years of experience practicing criminal law, and years of experience as a district court judge, George Powell is uniquely qualified to help you challenge the State’s evidence against you - and, if you qualify, help you clear your record of past cases.

Real Estate Law

 

Real Estate Law governs who may own and use land. Many people engaged in buying or selling residential real estate are uncomfortable with the various legal terms contained in real estate contracts.

The Powell Firm can be of great benefit in your real estate transaction. George Powell is an attorney, a former Judge and a Real Estate Agent. He has a unique insight into real estate sales transactions and he can help you in the process of buying or selling your property.

Personal Injury Law

 

Personal Injury Law is designed to protect you in the event you are injured by the act, or failure to act, of another person. This would include cases such as: auto wrecks; 18 wheeler wrecks; dog bites; slip and fall accidents and many others.

Business Formation

 

Establishing the best type of business entity for your particular purposes is very important in the formation of your business - whether you are registering a DBA, incorporating or forming a partnership or limited liability company.

The formation of your business entity will determine the personal liability of the founders, the way in which your taxes are paid, as well as various other important details. The Powell Firm is prepared to assist you in the formation of your business.

Estate Planning

 

Estate Planning is the area of law focused on the transfer of an individual’s, or a family’s, assets in anticipation of death. An estate plan includes the client’s financial assets as well as personal property.

The purpose of an estate plan is to maximize the wealth transferred to the intended beneficiaries. The Powell Firm assists our clients by focusing on their accumulation of wealth, tax implications and personal objectives - to develop their best estate plan.

Litigation is the process of resolving legal disputes through the court system - from the filing of a law suit to the trial of the case in a courtroom.

Litigation involves every aspect of a contested case: demand letters, discovery, negotiations, motions, trial and possibly an appeal. The Powell Firm is ready to assist you in litigating your case to success.
