Unprofessional/ Waste of Investment

I’m only just now deciding to leave this review in hopes that I save others the trouble/loss. I paid Attorney Watson full retainer fee up in hopes that I could maintain custody of my child. Not only was she late to court but she was completely unprepared. I was truly better off going in on my own rat...her than hiring her. The decision came by mail weeks later and she again was completely disconnected from the case (she had no clue what the judge’s decision was and I had to send her a copy).I was devastated to say the least and due to the contract upon retaining her, she would not appeal on my behalf. There’s a reason why you can’t find many reviews for this lawyer. There’s no telling how many others there are, who have experienced the same unprofessionalism.

Replied last September 20, 2026

I am always prepared for court, and in 26 years of practice I only have seen custody lost from a client twice and that has been the result of crucial facts which were withheld by the client that were not favorable. It is very important that clients divulge all pertinent information even if it is negative. When we lawyers are blindsided with relevant information at trial that a client has omitted, we cannot present evidence to the contrary if not advised in advance. As lawyers, we do our best with such land mines, but undisclosed negative detrimental facts strongly influence the judges decision so you must advise the lawyer in advance. Also, I am rarely late to court, so it is highly likely that there was a traffic accident. As noted in my reviews, I represent my clients zealously. Also, it is very rare for a judge to delay their ruling, and issue a written opinion later. This normally means they weighed many factors and wanted to give careful consideration to their decision. We lawyers have no control over the timing of that final decision and since it is sent via mail occasionally clients receive it before counsel. This has only happened twice in my career and when it happened about four years ago, I was out of the country when the judge mailed the decision, so the client received it before I did so I did not know the Judge had ruled nor his decision since I was out of the country. You posted anonymously because your review and recitation of the facts is not true. The judge’s decision was based on the negative fact you withheld which was presented by the opposing party, and I was prepared & represented you zealously as I have the other 800 clients I have served in the last four years.

Best lawyer!

Ms Watson represented me in a civil case and I must say she is the best at what she does! Would highly recommend!

Highly recommend!

We are very pleased with the legal services provided by Ms. Watson. She immediately got to work on our case, provided us with exceptional communication, and was extremely knowledgeable on case law and next steps. She displayed empathetic and compassionate guidance as she outlined her plan for advocat...ing for our rights. We would highly recommend her services and will absolutely return to her practice should assistance be needed again in the future. A true asset to the Central Virginia community!

Breath of fresh air

Ms. Angela is kind, personable and eager to help! She was a breath of fresh air after speaking with so many other unpleasant offices. I look forward to working with her myself and would highly recommend her to anyone.

Honest, Intelligent, How Working and Incredible

Miss Watson came to my rescue within less then 12 hours she stopped a wrongful eviction I was facing and helped me through it and checks up on me to make sure everything is still going fine. This attorney here is superwoman! and I will be using her again. I love how she carries herself and gets st...raight to the point and also was able to handle everything over the phone with me that was so beneficial and helpful. She specialize in so much and this is who you want to call anytime if you want a great attorney. Her motto is "A practice with purpose... overcoming life's challenges one case at a time." Thank you!
