Strong Representation In Family Violence And Protective Orders

Domestic violence is a serious issue for everyone involved. In addition to the obvious physical safety and emotional health concerns, domestic violence can have a significant impact on an ensuing divorce, affecting everything from child custody arrangements to the division of assets. If you are entering divorce proceedings in which claims of domestic violence are involved, make sure you work with an experienced lawyer who can help protect your interests throughout the divorce.

At The Powell Law Firm, our attorneys represent clients in all types of domestic violence and other family law matters. We have more than 20 years of legal experience representing clients in Pearland, Houston and other areas of Texas. Our lawyers take our clients’ cases seriously, staying in contact and explaining our clients’ rights and options throughout the legal process.

Protective Orders

The first step for a domestic violence victim is to utilize the full legal protections available. If you are a victim of domestic violence or are at risk, our lawyers can petition the court for protective orders on your behalf, to make sure you are safe from harm.

The problem of domestic violence cases is twofold. On the one hand, it is critical to make sure domestic violence victims are protected by law. But on the other hand, it is not uncommon for a spouse to make false claims of domestic violence in order to gain an advantage in divorce proceedings. We also represent people falsely accused of domestic violence to make sure they can exercise their rights in the divorce proceedings.

Domestic Violence And Divorce

Our lawyers work with clients to manage all of the implications that domestic violence claims have on the outcome of divorce and family law matters. One of the most important of these issues is child custody. A parenting plan will be altered dramatically if one of the parents has been accused or convicted of domestic violence. This includes matters of moving out of the area with a child, physical custody and other issues. Our attorneys also help clients with any other issues that arise regarding family violence and divorce.

What Our Clients
Have To Say

  • “I wanted to take the time to thank you [John Powell III] for helping me through a tough time in my life. Your guidance and voice of reason really helped me more than you will ever know. I had a previous attorney that I felt could have really cared less about me or the situation. Once on board with you, I felt an immediate difference and I was thankful for your quick response. I could not have finished this process without you and I am glad you were able to have so much hands on time with me. Again, thank you for everything you did for me and my son!”

    (S.R.)

  • “John Powell III was very helpful through the entire process of my divorce which involved a custody fight over my 3-year-old daughter. Mr. Powell has a strong working rapport with the Brazoria County family court. He was very patient, walking me through every step, knowing what to expect from my wife's attorney. We were ultimately successful and I would highly recommend him. As for my daughter, she is doing great. She has advanced to the preschool 2 class early, she is now 3.5 and now goes to school with the 4-5 year old's. Her emotional and behavioral issues have disappeared. Thanks to Mr. Powell's hard work my daughter will have a great chance at life.”

    (K.K.)

  • “Just wanted to say thanks for handling my post-divorce property division issue in a timely and professional manner. Especially your attention to detail and some quick-witted humor as well. Your firm was referred to us by a friend which can always be somewhat awkward but you made us feel at ease through the entire process. I would not hesitate to recommend your firm to anyone if the need arises.”

    (J.B.)

  • “Dear Mr. Powell: I want to thank you for your great service and express my gratitude. I am extremely pleased how everything was handled and I have the highest possible opinion about your professionalism, the quality of your service and your attitude toward me as a client. Thank you again, best regards.”

    (M.K.S.)

  • “I had what I learned was not your stereotypical divorce case. John Powell III was extremely understanding of the situation and worked with myself and my former spouse to navigate the legal pitfalls in our, and our children's case. Everything was resolved amicably and with minimal impact to our family. Without Mr. Powell's assistance I do not know that we would have gotten to such a positive place.”

    (A.W.)

  • “John Powell III is a compassionate and thorough attorney. My case was a complex custody issue that required work in two wide-spread counties. Mr. Powell was able to efficiently overcome this added challenge. He is patient and clear in explaining concepts of the law. Even after the case was closed, Mr. Powell was available to explain the final judgment and to help ensure we were following the Judge's intent. It is very comforting to know that if additional issues arise he is there to act as my advocate.”
