Distinction

I found Bruce through a recommendation of a friend's wife, who is a director of social work for the state of Massachusetts. It was obvious from our first meeting that she had led me to someone who she believed had great character, and within moments I felt the same. I immediately felt very comfortabl...e with him, with his professional, matter-of-fact approach. One of the things that impressed me the most was his willingness to listen to my point of view. Bruce was quickly able to understand the dynamics of my pending divorce in a caring, yet tactful manner. He listened to my concerns, desires, and expectations, and then formulated a more aggressive defense, though very much within reason. Throughout the process, he kept me informed of each development and promptly responded to every one of my inquiries, as we worked together. In court, and even dealing with the other party, Bruce was very respectful and well spoken, treating the proceeding with the dignity that I had sincerely hoped for or imagined. All of these traits resulted in an practically seemless process, with a fair and equitable settlement. I would certainly recommend Bruce Watson to anyone who would care to be represented in the highest regard.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Attorney Watson was opposing counsel on a divorce case. Even though the case was extremely contentious, Attorney Watson has always been courteous, advocated for his client, and easy to get a hold of. He has been a pleasure to work with, and at one point, I even tried to refer a client to him that I could not assist because I trusted that he would do an excellent job in their representation."
