This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Absolutely outstanding! Could not be more pleased.

I contacted Ms. Cheryl Watkins again recently about some questions I had regarding the estate planning she helped me with earlier this year, and was greeted with the same enthusiasm, professionalism, and care as always. The strategic yet simple way that Ms. Watkins walked me through the pros and cons... of revocable trusts, the will, the trust certification etc., eliminated all anxiety I had before contacting her. I originally called with the business at hand being the most important agenda, but by the end of the call, I felt like I was talking to an old friend that had my concerns and wishes at heart even more than I did. I would recommend Ms. Watkins to any person seeking services concerning their wills and trusts as I did, and especially to anyone who is looking for someone they can leave their worries with, knowing that they are going to be taken care of completely. Thank you for your guidance and especially for your heart and concern Ms. Watkins. I feel as though I've made another lifelong friend!

Excellent attorney!

Ms. Watkins is an exceptional attorney that has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to estate planning and administration. I recall having an issue trying to decide whether to file a petition for a formal administration or summary administration because there wasn't a lot of personal property but th...ere was some land. I called Ms. Watkins and she knew what questions to ask which helped me make a good decision. She also advised me on the pros and cons of filing each petition. She was a great help and I would refer her to anyone needing an estate planning attorney!
