How to Pay for a Lawyer: Financing Legal Fees

No one plans on being accused of a criminal charge, getting arrested, or even receiving a criminal summons.

Most people understand choosing the right lawyer can affect the outcome of your case to a significant degree.

Few people save or have “rainy day” funds for hiring a lawyer during a time of need.

And yet, whether it’s for DWI charges in North Carolina, a serious assault, felony drug offense, or NC DMV issue, you and your case deserve the attention of an experienced criminal lawyer.

"When your future and possible freedom depends on it, we think you should have the lawyer of your choice standing by your side in court."

Client Reviews
★★★★★
I am so fortunate to have had Bill Powers on my case. Upon our first meeting, Bill insisted that through the emotions of anger, sadness, confusion, and betrayal that I remain resilient. He was available to answer questions with researched, logical, truthful answers throughout our two year stretch together... J.R.
★★★★★
Bill Powers and his firm were a true blessing. If anyone is contacting an attorney, it's more than likely not from a positive life experience. If there was a rating for "bedside manner" for lawyers he'd get a 10/10 for that as well. The entire staff were helpful... K.C.
★★★★★
Bill Powers’ staff has handled several traffic citations for me over the years, and they exceeded my expectations each and every time. Would highly recommend anyone faced with a traffic citation or court case contact his office and they will handle it from there. M.C.
★★★★★
Bill and his staff are flat out great. I (unfortunately) was a repeat customer after a string of tickets. These guys not only took care of the initial ticket for me, but went the extra mile and reduced my problems from 3 to just 1 (very minor one) on the same day I called back! I would recommend them to anyone. A.R.
