Constructing Effective Legal Solutions

The courtroom is always available when attempts to resolve legal conflicts cannot be settled outside of court. However, it is usually in a client's best interests to seek an out-of-court settlement in divorce and other family law matters such as modification of child custody. A well-versed lawyer knows the law and the courts in which he represents his clients. John R. Powell's years of experience give him that kind of crucial knowledge. This knowledge allows him to give a strong indication of how a divorce court judge or jury might rule if a question were taken to trial.

In well-managed settlement conferences, most spouses who are divorcing are capable of arriving at decisions that make sense for their families, save the expense of ongoing litigation and bring a private family situation to an efficient resolution in a timely manner. Attorney John R. Powell strives to solve legal problems for clients with honesty, integrity and old-fashioned hard work.

Sometimes a potential client brings a legal problem to the attention of attorney Powell in an initial consultation - and Mr. Powell is able to solve the problem at no charge in less than an hour if that's what the facts indicate.
