William J Watson III

William Watson was hired to defend me from charges of threatening a neighbor (who had just assaulted and destroyed a part of my property) and possession of a silencer or sawed-off shotgun. The later charge was never dropped as I requested by supplying a receipt for the purchase of a fake silencer. Th...is receipt vanished in attorney Watson's stack of notes. When I sought its return the evening before my day in court, one of Watson's partners verbally assaulted me and shewed me out of the office. I was planning to defend myself partly using this piece of evidence along with a brief narrative explaining the situation. Having missed or cancelled most of our appointments, Watson showed up in court next day and proceeded with his application for "accelerated rehabilitation." The judge having only heard the prosecutor read a note from my accuser and from attorney Watson a plea for mercy, granted the application but added 50 hours of community service. Watson never used any of the material I supplied him and never returned it to me.
