WHEN THE STATE SPEAKS CONVICTION, YOU NEED AN ADVOCATE WHO SPEAKS DEFENSE.

The legal system wasn't BUILT for regular people to navigate alone. It was DESIGNED for those who understand its unwritten rules, who know its pressure points, who recognize its traps before they spring shut.

When you're facing criminal charges —the STAKES ARE TOO HIGH to walk in unprepared. That's not speculation—that's FACT.

I built Powers Legal because I watched good people—INNOCENT people—get STEAMROLLED by a system that doesn't care about their side of the story. A system where prosecutors count on your fear, where judges have heard every excuse, where the opposition is counting the minutes until you make THAT mistake that costs you EVERYTHING.

MY JOURNEY wasn't the comfortable path most attorneys take. New Orleans RAISED me—taught me to FIGHT for what matters and never back down when the odds stack against you. While others inherited their legal careers, I BUILT mine—grinding through Tulane Law while working full-time, and conquering the Washington Bar on my FIRST attempt.

I've seen the system from EVERY angle. At the Louisiana Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal, I didn't just read about appeals—I SAW them. I watched how trial mistakes DESTROY cases months or years later.

In Judge Zainey's chambers at U.S. District Court, I witnessed the machinery of justice from the INSIDE. I didn't just study how judges think—I watched how they DECIDE, what evidence PERSUADES them, what arguments make them LISTEN and what makes them tune out.

I brought that New Orleans fighting spirit to the Pacific Northwest in 2023. While other attorneys learn from hypotheticals, I learned by DOING, by FIGHTING, by WINNING when the odds said I shouldn't.

When you're FIGHTING CRIMINAL CHARGES, you don't need an attorney who pleads out every case. You need someone who's torn police reports apart line by line, who's exposed contradictions in officer testimony, who's convinced prosecutors their "solid case" is built on sand, not stone. When your FREEDOM is on the line, you need an attorney who treats your liberty as if it were their own.

I've built a tech-forward practice not to impress you with bells and whistles, but because it ELIMINATES the barriers between your case and justice. I don't waste your money on fancy offices and unnecessary staff—I INVEST in systems that let me work more effectively FOR YOU. That means more of my time goes into STRATEGY and EXECUTION rather than billing and bureaucracy.
