How Habba is regarded by peers and clients within the legal profession is not apparent in the online lawyer review sites where she maintains a presence.
Habba's appointment to lead Trump's multimillion dollar lawsuit has baffled legal watchers, since the former has only used high-profile attorneys in the past.
Soon after taking the Flynn case, Powell had accused the Justice Department of prosecutorial misconduct against Flynn; in a footnote to a June 2020 court brief, the department described Powell's allegations as "unfounded and provide no basis for impugning the prosecutors from the D.C. United States Attorney's Office".
On February 4, 2021, Smartmatic filed a defamation lawsuit that accused Powell, Fox News, some hosts at Fox News, and Rudy Giuliani of engaging in a "disinformation campaign" against the company, and asked for $2.7 billion in damages.
After an initial ruling in favor of Powell by a three-judge panel of the court, the case was appealed to the full court, which denied the mandamus request in an 8–2 ruling and returned the case to Sullivan's court.
A three-judge panel unanimously dismissed Powell's appeal on December 4, citing a failure to prove that the restraining order caused serious harm. The panel also indicated that the original lawsuit, in which Powell also sought to have voting machines inspected, was "considerably delayed" by the appeal.
In November 2020, Powell established Legal Defense Fund for the American Republic, a 501 (c) (4) nonprofit organization with stated purpose to collect funds to help prosecute fraud in U.S. elections.
The senator was subsequently convicted of seven felony counts of corruption for failing to annually declare gifts from VECO owner Bill Allen. The convictions were overturned on appeal, and Attorney General Eric Holder declined to refile the charges.
Precisely how Powell gained prominence in the legal team is unknown, even to some campaign officials. One official claimed Powell "simply showed up at headquarters". Giuliani and Powell alleged multiple instances of voter fraud in key states at a November 19 press conference.

Roy Cohn and Donald Trump attend the Trump Tower opening in October 1983 at The Trump Tower in New York City. Cohn became Trump's 'fixer' and protege after he advised the young real estate developer when he was being sued for housing discrimination in 1973.
Cohn's first big favor to Trump happened in 1976 when he secured a 42-year long tax abatement from the City of New York (during a time when the city was practically bankrupt) for Trump's Grand Hayatt Hotel on 42nd Street.
Matt Tyrnauer's new documentary 'Where Is My Roy Cohn?' explores their complex relationship, in which he said, 'Donald Trump is Roy Cohn, he's subsume the personality and world view entirely and that everything we see from Trump and recoil today is the Roy Cohn personality and point of view and tactical playbook'. +13.
