“I was searching for an attorney in Pearland, TX to take my divorce case. I found his practice on-line and of course I read all the reviews and decided to contact him and glad I did. He was very attentive and a great communicator via email, text, and when available also via cell phone through the entire process. He explained to me the different scenarios and we worked together in moving forward with a soft approach. Everything happened as he had explained even when we ran into a few bumps he again explained to me what the next steps would be and the options I had. In short, he communicates effectively and does what he says and what’s agreed on, I will seek his services on another matter next year and thankful for his help with my divorce.”

“My husband and I were in need of wills so I began a quest to get them drawn up. We had moved and our previous attorneys were way too far away, so I looked online for a qualified attorney in our area. I found several and made some inquiries. When I heard back from Stacia, I knew we found the right firm. She was friendly and knowledgeable with the “can do” approach we needed. We provided the necessary information and in no time, John Powell contacted us and prepared draft wills for our review. They were exactly as requested. The [The Powell Law Firm] made this process very easy. What made this firm stand out for me was that John took time and listened to us. Then he provided exactly what we needed and wanted. So I highly recommend this firm. They’re the best.”

“John is an amazing, efficient, practical, and compassionate attorney. It took me awhile to pull the trigger and actually file for divorce and then to finalize it, but John was there for me every step of the way, never rushed me, and was ready to go as soon as I was for each step of the process. I am a completely different woman from the one who was sobbing in the initial consultation, feeling so hopeless. I am now free from that marriage and super excited about my future, many thanks to John and his team.”

“John helped me in ways I never could have imagined. He was straight up honest and up front in my case. He’s the Johnny Cochran of divorce law! #satisfiedclient”

E.R.

“John is one of the most professional lawyers I have worked with. He handled my divorce case and would have represented both myself and my ex-wife in a fair and honest manner. She decided to go with her own lawyer and choose a larger law firm with multiple lawyers and soon found out they did nothing but cost money. Hindsight she wishes she would have had John as her lawyer as well. He was always fair, listens, communicates and gives feedback when asked. He is a great mediator as well, very knowledgeable and keeps you informed where the case is. If you need a divorce lawyer well, you won’t find one better than John.”

“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!”

“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.

“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.

“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.

“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.”

R.T.

“My divorce was high conflict and involved a subsequent custody dispute. The initial divorce was completed in only 4 months and the rest played out for the next 3 years. John Powell III stayed by my side through thick and thin and gave me wise counsel throughout, even when it was not what I wanted to hear. By comparison, my former spouse went through 4 different lawyers during the same period. Divorces involving children can get highly emotional and I appreciated John’s constant calm in the storm. This proved instrumental to a productive resolution for all parties concerned. I feel very confident having John in my corner should there be any further developments and would recommend him to anyone going through a divorce, big or small.”

J.C.

“I found the service provided by John Powell III to be efficient, professional and thorough. I really appreciate the knowledge and information he provided me during our consultation as well as through the entire divorce process that helped me make the most informed decisions for my situation. Thank you, John, for your time and your help with my situation. Your personal attention and concern made all the difference.”

H.B.

“From the moment I met John Powell III, I had a good feeling about his ability to represent me in my divorce. He was very thorough and discussed every detail necessary before allowing me to make appropriate decisions for the welfare of my children and myself. He also dealt with my ex-wife in a courteous and professional manner. The divorce went through without a hitch, and I have not had one regret in my decision to use John and his firm! “

I.S.

“I have referred people I know to John Powell III which in itself should clearly state my faith in him. Because of John’s work in my case, my daughter, who lives with me now, has been straight A’s and B’s for the last year and a half of high school and will be able to graduate on time. My son is now in his 3rd year at Stephen F. Austin and is also all A’s and B’s. Had the custody question gone the other way I seriously doubt the children would be where they are now. I now have a relationship with my grandson, and all the loose ends have come together. There is peace in the family now, as time does heal all wounds.”

K.S.

“Due to my wife’s actions, it was obvious that divorce was the only option in my case. The children are those that suffer the most from the broken family. John Powell III built the foundation for a successful case to place the children with me in a supportive home, and now they have gained from it.”

“My daughter was in danger from her father and her father’s associates. John Powell III was able to obtain orders from the court severely restricting his access to her, and protecting her from his harmful habits and friends.”

R.T.

“I came to John Powell III with a large problem but without much in the way of funds, yet he helped me and let me establish a payment plan. I continued to struggle with the difficulties involved with my daughter’s case, and John gave me strength through the back-and-forth of the legal battles by providing me the best legal council and advice.”

J.M.C.

“I had the unfortunate experience of going through a divorce. When I first met John Powell III he put me at ease with what to expect, answering any and all questions I had. Throughout the process, John was professional and polite, making an emotional and trying experience much more bearable. With John’s guidance my situation was resolved quickly with minimal influence on my family. I would highly recommend John Powell III for any situation that needs a lawyers expertise.”

K.O.

“John Powell III was recommended to me by a mutual family friend. I found John to be a very dedicated, efficient, and most of all, honest lawyer. John’s competence was able to avert what could have been a very ugly divorce. I would recommend him to anyone without reservation.”

S.C.

“When I needed to find a good divorce lawyer to protect my children and I and to keep our finances secure and safe, I found John Powell III. At the very first meeting I had a good feeling about him. He was very knowledgeable about the local courts and judges, as well as having an impressive knowledge of the law. He was able to turn what could have been a very ugly situation into one where my children are safe and provided for, and my ex spouse and I are able to communicate and co-parent.”

K.J.

“My spouse threatened to take everything we had built together; going so far as to hire some unreputable professionals to assist. John Powell III was not only able to stop that from happening, but to protect my rightful share of the property.”
