Waste of time

I met with Mr. Watson and ended up not hiring him. He spoke down to me, asked me questions but then interrupted me as soon as I started answering (he never got any answers by doing this) and told me I would lose my case. His whole attitude was very condescending. I walked out and hired another lawyer.... Not only did my lawyer feel confident that I would win, but she won my case with very little effort!

Great attorney

Russell was appointed by the courts and did an excellent job. I was given a suspended sentence on 2 grand larcenys.

Caring Attorney

Mr. Watson finished out my divorce case. I had been with another attorney who really let me down in the handling of my custody case. Mr. Watson, in light of my financial situation, gave me good sound advice which allowed me to move forward with the divorce and rebuild my life again

A lawyer who has gone above and beyond.

He represented me as a young adult when I had some legal issues. Since then I have recommended him to 4 friends and coworkers that hired him for their divorce. 15 years later, I still trust his judgement, hard work, and council for any legal issues I may have, including a current speeding traffic tic...ket.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
