Judge Powell is an excellent judge. He is able to navigate the volume of cases in the district court such that everything is handled efficiently and timely. He is fair in his decisions and well versed in the statutes and caselaw. By far one of the best judges.

Hands down one of the best judges in the state - if not the absolute best. Wonderful temperament. Fair to both sides. Very smart and very hardworking. If I had a choice I would choose to appear before him everyday. Even if he rules against you, he’s so nice when he does it that you can’t even be mad.

I tried a Zoom case in front of him recently - and listened to a few others while waiting. I found him extremely competent and fair and made the correct rulings in my opinion. Damage awards were fair which I say as a Plaintiff's lawyer. He is always complimentary to the lawyers and litigants. This is a great Judge.

Still too low on damages. Not sure these judges consider what the client ends up with after doctors and lawyers get paid, or that the only reason the plaintiff is in court is because he's getting screwed by the super low offer from the insurance company

Judge Powell does NOT know and rule according to the law. Based on the transcript I am reading he in on record stating that he take his lead from a crooked attorney that has bamboozled the landlord/Tenant court and stolen homes with his help. Nope - NOT GOOD - he is a part of the problem in the COUNTY- you cannot accept ex-parte information and rule when the documents are fraudulent.
