Irresponsible and unreliable

I had hired Jeff to help me revise my custody agreement. When my ex's attorney attempted to contact him for 2 weeks in regards to a slight change. When they threatened to file an emergency hearing he finally agreed but didn't tell me anything about it. I had to find out from my ex. Don't even get me ...started on trying to get my money back. If I could go negative stars I would.

Dedicated

I could not be more thankful for Atty Jeff Watson. When dealing with family matters, situations can be touchy and emotional. He guided me through each and every step and always took the time to listen to my wants and needs and worked his hardest to achieve my goals to the fullest. I couldn’t imagine ...having anybody else represent me in my situation. I highly recommend his services.

A God sent

I hired Jeff Watson for my child custody and divorce. He has been nothing but amazing. Anytime a problem arised I was always able to reach him and he instantly calmed me down and took care of it. During a very stressful event, he was on top of the situation and had it resolved fast. Jeff Watson is... extremely dedicated to his clients and very passionate about what he does. I would not want anyone else sitting beside me and representing me in the court room other than Watson. I highly recommend him.

Unprofessional

Our first encounter I spoke with mr. Watson concerning my situation we set up a time for consultation he then asked me to wire him the money ahead of time I was referred to him I by a close friend he canceled on me A hour before our meeting and I thought that was very unprofessional!! then sent me a ...text from a other client concerning their conversation.. I fought felt very violated by that and disappointed.. I then requested my money back from him he told me he mailed me a check.. I never seen it!! requested him to wire me my money back immediately. very unprofessional attorney..
