John gets it done

I have done business with John twice, most recently about a month ago. Both times John has proven himself effective and knowledgeable. Im sure most of us know that dealing with debt collectors can invoke all kinds of emotions from anger to depression. John took away those emotions and that made it ea...sier for me to rest at night knowing that my credit score would remain intact. John stayed in constant communication with me and answered all of my question promptly. He also achieved the desired outcome quickly which was a welcomed surprise. . John is a true professional. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Have no fear! John Watts is here!

John Watts is unlike any lawyer I have ever met. He is personable, knowledgeable, respectful, and an all around great guy. I met John because I had been sued by someone I didn't even know, for a debt I didn't know existed. Panic set in. I was horrified, and had no idea what to do. That is when I cal...led John. He explained things to me in a manner that was easy to understand and quieted my fears. He took my case, and won! He then helped me sue them, and won again! John always took the time to meet with me, or talk with me on the phone. He was always prompt at returning phone calls, answering emails, or sending updates. I never questioned whether my lawyer was really working for me. I pray that I don't have to, but if necessary I would use John Watts again, and again, and again. If you need a lawyer who will be on your side, and in your corner...look no further!

Deborah, Thank you for taking the time to leave us this feedback. It is scary being sued -- especially by some company we have never heard of for a debt that we don't know supposedly exists. You did great -- we love representing consumers who want to understand what is happening and what their options are going forward. We could not have won the case or sued these jokers in federal court if you had not been strong and willing to fight so congrats to you! Thanks for letting us help you and for your kind words.... Best wishes! John Watts

I was terrified!!!!

I had been contacted by a shady organization trying to scam me for money. I was scared because of the threats of criminal action. Once I met with Mr. Watts, he eased my worries, explained the law and how to "put the ball back into my court". I was so pleased with his professionalism and knowledg...e. Thank you Mr. Watts! You will definitely get my endorsement!!!!

Billie, Thank you for your review. Some of these debt collectors don't merely cross the line -- they can't even see the line anymore. We were happy to help you and thank you again for your kind words! John Watts

Highly recommended for debt collection cases

I had consistent harassing phone calls from bottom dweller debt collectors for a very long time but just learned to deal with it until one threatened to sue me. I came across John's website (alabamaconsumer.com) which was full of articles on the subject matter that convinced me the law was actually o...n my side. I hired John to take my case and the process was flawless, kept me constantly updated on what was happening with the case and what I needed to do. He won my case and would highly recommend him to anyone with his area of expertise in debt collection law.

Travis, Thank you for asking us to help you -- we enjoyed doing so. And thank you for your feedback. While some lawyers don't like our approach, we take the position that giving away lots of information helps inform consumers. And our best clients are folks who have educated themselves and want to have a good discussion of their options. Thank you again for letting us help you and we wish you only the best.... John Watts

The Jack McCoy of Consumer Debt Collection

I contacted John in early 2013 when I was being sued by a junk debt buyer. I am an attorney and even I was confused, anxious and overwhelmed by the process; I could not imagine how terrifying this would be for the average consumer. John was patient, constantly kept me informed of case updates, and... always explained my options. John took the time to meet with me in his office and he explain to me, step by step, how the process worked and what we needed to do to defeat this junk debt buyer. I did exactly what John told me to do and we prevailed. He, never once, batted an eye over the 10,000 questions I asked him. John is extremely professional and an outstanding attorney. I would recommend him to any colleague, family member or friend. He is THAT good.

Thank you for the kind words and feedback. Practicing law has become so specialized that there are so many areas I know nothing about. But I do have some knowledge in this area. Glad you had a great experience with us -- we do our best to educate our clients so you understand your options. Thanks again for your feedback and letting us help you. John Watts
