James Watkins

We hired Mr. Watkins on two separate occasions. In both cases he exceeded our expectations. We would, without question use him again, should the need arise.

A.D.

I have used Mr. Watkins on several occasions in the past. I consulted him on a matter involving child custody and I hired him to be my lawyer for my divorce. It went very smoothly with no issues at all. I have currently hired him to update my will and do a living will as well.

Best Attorney I've Ever Hired

Jimmy is an excellent attorney. I was arrested for DUI and he was able to to plead it down to reckless driving and I kept my license. No other attorney I spoke with was able to able to help me keep my license and keep a DUI off my record. I highly recommend him. Mr. Watkins was recommended to me thr...ough a network of friends who had similar positive experiences with DUI, divorces and criminal matter. This guy know his stuff and is very easy to work with. The fees were very reasonable compared to other big shot attorneys in Atlanta.
