About Willie D. Powells III

When you are represented by attorney Willie Powells, you will immediately realize he is not your average lawyer. Your case will be under the care of a brilliant legal professional – and a person who truly cares about you, your family, and the outcome of your case. He is exceptionally dedicated to the people he serves and goes above and beyond to help them seek justice in every case. As a defense lawyer representing those facing charges, he understands the urgency and importance of presenting a powerful defense.
