William Austin Watkins

Hired to a custody issue in September of 2010.Never returns phone calls. Never updates me on anything that is going on. Stated paperwork was sent to places, but they claim they never received anything from Him.Called today February 22nd, and still no phone call back.Thin he talked to me 2 times since... hired. I asked for my retainer back, and i was told he would call, That was 1 month ago. I filed a complainant with the Board. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE HIRE HIM.

Attorney Watkins recently represented me in a civil matter. His strong character and convictions were exemplified on numerous occasions and his persistence in following through to the end resulting in me receiving a judgment even greater than I expected. I have zero hesitation in recommending Mr.... Watkins.

After leaving a very unsatisfactory meeting with our then attorney my husband and I we were not being adequately represented and sought a second opinion. A friend had referred us to Attorney Watkins upon calling and speaking with him he immediately rearranged his scheduled the very same day to meet ...with us as we were under a deadline our prior attorney had failed to inform us of. Had Bill not been so responsive and knowledgeable of the laws governing our situation we could have potentially missed an important filing. From the initial meeting and throughout the entire process Attorney Watkins remained on top of the situation, kept us apprised and never once failed to return a phone call or answer any questions we had. We had what was considered to be a difficult case involving a problem that many said we would never prevail upon as cases such as ours hardly ever result in reversals. Attorney Watkins presented a strong defense on our behalf, his presentation was clear concise and delivered the points needed to make our case. As a result the judge ruled in our favor. Bill informed us of the decision almost as soon as it was handed down. He took the time to inform us of what our next steps were and remained with us through fruition. If you want an attorney with a no nonsense approach who is straight forward and addresses your concerns then I would highly recommend Attorney Watkins and would not hesitate again to hire him.

I'm not sure if he normally does traffic tickets, he was recommended to me by a family friend, but he did when I called. He successfully got the speeding violation removed for me. He was very nice when we met and based on the pictures and such that were in his office, he is also active in the communi...ty a lot. I can't speak for his performance otherwise, but for a speeding ticket in Northeast PA, I definitely recommend Attorney Bill Watkin.
