Jamie Kerr was the mediator in my divorce, and he is very impressive. His attention to detail is amazing and was able to make a difficult situation that much easier with his knowledge and demeanor.

I'm very glad that I chose Jamie to represent me during my divorce process. Jamie & Emily did a phenomenal job of responding to my questions, giving me solid advice along the way, and made me feel like I had someone in my corner. We had assets and children to consider during the divorce, and Jamie/Emily made sure that I got what I deserved. I would definitely recommend them to anyone else going through a similar situation.

Jamie did an amazing job helping my client and I get through a difficult mediation. He possesses a keen understanding of family law and is extremely patient. I would highly recommend Jamie for any difficult mediation.

Bill and team really are the best. While my very high-conflict divorce was finalized six years ago, my ex continued to drag us back to court over minutia every year since then; that is when I hired Bill. At ever corner, Bill had my children's best interest in mind. Any advice he gave me, was prefaced with "What is going to be best for your kiddos is..." Bill has the utmost integrity, is an unflappable professional, and he is a genuinely good person. I highly recommend Bill and his superstar team.

Jamie and his paralegal Emily handled my divorce with focus and diligence. I could count on them to point to me important subjects that we needed to focus on and were ready to tell me honestly and in plain English what I needed to be ready for. They were reliable and punctual. It was my first experience with the attorney and it was a very good one.

I needed help bridging a difficult time and Bill, Jamie and Emily helped me feel comfortable in talking through what I wanted to achieve and helped me progress through the divorce process in an expedited and easy (as possible) process.

Going through a divorce from a 28 year marriage, I needed a strong and reputable attorney to represent my best interests and help me come up with the best solution for a difficult situation. And my ex is a very difficult person. Bill did just that. He has the experience and knowledge to best handle a divorce.  Always friendly and willing to listen, Bill handled a stressful situation with a positive attitude and was able to deliver the results I was looking for. I highly recommend Bill for family law.

Regardless of circumstances, there is nothing good about divorce, or fun about it by any means. That said, Jamie and his team were exceptional every step of the way and I would recommend him without a doubt. He had patience with me as I navigated a difficult divorce situation and ensured I was fully informed of my options and rights throughout the process.

When I decided to move through it all in the most financially responsible way, he was able to provide advice that kept money in my pocket instead of extra legal fees for either party.

Jamie was great to work with, and Emily, his paralegal, was also fantastic. The two were always quick with responses and communication and always kept me in the loop with process. I couldn't recommend Jamie more, if you find yourself in the murky waters of divorce.

Can't recommend Bill Powers and his staff highly enough. Mr. Powers handles all elements of family law--in the diciest situations, when the chips are down, you want someone who has been there before and who has the temperament and expertise to carry the day. Bill Powers is just that attorney, and he is backed up by an efficient and courteous staff. In our case, he saved our family. When family-law issues come into your life, don't make a move without calling Mr. Powers first.

We engaged Bill Powers to handle post-divorce modifications relating to a child-custody matter.  The results that Mr. Powers achieved on our behalf exceeded our expectations.  He and his staff exhibited the utmost professionalism and efficiency throughout the process. When children are involved in a family-law matter, you want the best.  Mr. Powers is the go-to guy in these situations--when your everything is on the line.  Can't recommend him highly enough.

Bill guided me through my divorce, that started out friendly but ended up very contentious. He dealt with the change and modified our approach on the fly while maintaining a high level of professionalism. Bill's staff was empathetic and efficient which made the process much easier. His advice to me kept the process moving and on track. During mediation, Bill did a great job of getting us to a settlement that I wasn't sure we could make happen. When the dust settled, I'm glad that I had him represent me.

I hired Bill to help with a modification to my current custody agreement. I did my due diligence and received consultations from three different well known attorneys in town. Bill was the only one who clearly laid out facts and scenarios for me to contemplate. His experience is also what sold me--and it showed when we finally made it into the court room. I worked with him on a mediation case and then we ended up going to court for a violation to the outcome of the new custody arrangement. Both times I feel that I won--and recovered some of my attorney's fees as well. Best case scenario with Bill Powers at the helm. Don't skimp--hire Bill.

From start to finish attorney powers and his staff conducted themselves with the upmost professionalism and attention to detail. I would highly recommend you retain the services of attorney William Powers and his team.

I am a very experienced attorney, When I had a problem of my own, I knew that family law was not within my areas of expertise. I looked for a capable, board-certified family attorney who would not escalate the problem. Bill did a great job representing me in a situation where I was not necessarily capable of exercising the kind of detached evaluation that I apply in my own practice.

I am so lucky that a friend referred me to Bill Powers for my divorce process. He is able to simply explain complex concepts, clearly outline various options, maintain a 'big picture' perspective and keep his amazing sense of humor throughout the process. We used the collaborative process and Bill was great about hearing my needs, concerns, and wishes. Is it weird to miss your divorce attorney after the process is over? If so, I'm weird. Because I miss getting to chat with him.
