I firmly believe in defending our constitutional rights. I am a Texan through and through. Please let me fight for you.

I enjoy helping people.  As a lawyer, especially a criminal defense lawyer, we must always remember that the client comes first.  That means diligent, competent and zealous representation.  I've tried many cases and handled all types of criminal matters.  I looked forward to helping you, your loved ones or referrals.

I am committed to protecting your rights. I'm an experienced lawyer, former prosecutor, and former peace officer. I've handled cases from the lowest level trial courts to the United States Supreme Court. Even though my cases can be complex, however, my clients appreciate the way I can explain them in an easy to understand manner.. I’ve handled hundreds of criminal cases at the trial level as well as over 300 criminal cases on appeal or in other post-conviction areas (habeas writs, DNA actions, etc.). I’ve argued cases before the Texas Supreme Court’s criminal branch as both a prosecutor and a defense lawyer. I’ve also handled cases in federal appellate courts and, twice, in the United States Supreme Court. These are all criminal cases.. I helped lead a legislative review committee for criminal law bills and explained those bills to Texas legislators--many of whom had little criminal experience. I was also selected by the Texas Bar president to sit on the State Bar committee for the Rules of Evidence. I served in that capacity for years, helping to review and improve our Texas Rules of Evidence.. In 2018 I expanded my practice into the area of personal injury. Too many of my clients had been injured by reckless drivers or unsafe job conditions. Given that most civil attorneys have very little courtroom experience, I found that the transition helped my clients enormously.. Now I bring this knowledge and experience to people like you, relentlessly representing clients in all courts and on all types of criminal charges and personal injury cases.

I am Attorney and Former Judge George Powell, the Founder and Managing Partner of the Powell Firm - Texas Trial Lawyers PLLC.  I am a criminal defense and personal injury attorney licensed to practice state law anywhere in Texas; federal law in the Northern, Southern and Eastern Districts of Texas; 5th Circuit Court of Appeals (New Orleans); the Northern and Southern Districts of Maryland and in the United States Supreme Court. I am also the Former Judge of the 351st Felony District Court in Harris County (Houston), Texas. I am here to help you.

I am a native Houstonian but earned my undergraduate degree from Columbia University in New York City.  Texas and New York certainly have their differences. The experiences of living in both places has been a tremendous asset to me.  Likewise, I have been both a prosecutor and an attorney in private practice. Seeing litigation from different sides has helped me offer informed legal aid and direction for my clients.. During the 10 years that I served as a prosecutor and felony district court chief in the major offenders section, I handled a variety of criminal and civil cases, specializing in white-collar crime, civil litigation, DWI, and many others. As a prosecutor, I began to notice that many defendants weren’t receiving proper representation from their attorneys—and most suffered convictions, prolonged sentencing, and higher fines because of it.. It wasn’t long before I decided to launch my own law firm to offer defendants zealous but honest representation. I became board certified in criminal defense law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and established my own law firm in order to provide my clients with legal aid to guide them through the rigors of defense law litigation. To that end, I’ve successfully represented countless clients facing charges ranging from DWI’s to murder—all backed by my experience arguing on both sides of the courtroom.

I am a cantankerous, determined, persistent, knowledgable and skilled attorney in my areas of practice.  I do not have a reverse gear.  I only know to go forward, to work hard, to thoroughly investigate, to use my superior knowledge of the law and the regulatory environment to client's advantage.  I am aggressive, but businesslike.  I am very much at home in the courtroom.  I do not go to court looking schmooze and trade pictures of pets.  I go there to take care of legal business, and to prevail over the state and all its minions and resources.  I fully expect to do so.  Those expectations are founded in fact and experience.  I was the point of the spear in traffic for decades.. I do not claim to be a generalist, or to be functional at all outside my realm: traffic, criminal law, and administrative law as it pertains to getting and keeping your license, and in clearing up your criminal record as much as the law allows.  Call me.
