John is the real deal

I strongly recommend John Watts to anyone having legal problems. He is so polite and nice I told him he was not what I was expecting! I called him about a lawsuit and was near the deadline to file an answer on and I had no clue how to handle even that simple step. Within two days he had resolved the ...entire case and is even filing the answer for me. The settlement was for about half of the suit amount. If you are ever sued by a collection agency you need to call John Watts!

Mike, Thank you for the review -- appreciate it! Funny about not what expecting -- I like people to be nice to me so I do my best to be nice to others. :) You did a great job taking action -- so many people wait till time runs out and then they have a huge problem -- a default judgment. Very happy to have the opportunity to help you out and again we appreciate the kind testimonial very much! Have a good one! John Watts

Mr. John Watts - Great Lawyer, Exceptional Person

Mr. Watts and his staff have been a beacon of light at the end of a very dark tunnel (for anyone going through a home foreclosure) but especially for me. There is a bounty of free information on his website, alabamaconsumer.com, where he also answers questions and even refers people to other attorney...s if they are out of state. His videos are both informative and reassuring; and in my case, (post-foreclosure) other attorneys were either uninterested or believed nothing could be done. I would absolutely recommend a consultation with Mr. Watts, because at least you will know where you stand and what options may be available to you. That knowledge gives you real piece of mind, so you can move forward and make informed decisions. Also, Mr. Watts puts no pressure on you to hire him. He answered numerous questions and gave me a tremendous amount of guidance before I made the decision to hire him. I cannot say enough about him and his knowledgeable and compassionate staff, Carolyn and Melissia. Thank you to all of them.

Thank you Jennifer for the nice words in your review. Especially after a foreclosure in Alabama, it is tough. You start getting threatening letters to move out and then you get sued to force you out. I'm glad our information was helpful -- we try to provide as much practical information as possible so folks can make good decisions on what to do. And it makes it better when we chat so we can focus on options rather than covering the basics. Thanks again for your very nice review and I'm happy that Carolyn and Melissia were so helpful to you. Best wishes! John Watts

Smooth experience in stressful situation

I'm writing to help anyone dealing with creditors, harassment, and anxious about protecting your assets. I found myself in this position and after watching several of Mr. Watts' videos, decided to give him a call. The videos were so informative I went into the initial consultation feeling confident a...bout describing my problem thoroughly. I found him to be a very personable and knowledgable person and he did a great job of easing my anxiety. John Watts and his skilled staff have stood on my behalf three times and they have won all three cases without my appearance in court being necessary. Thanks Mr. Watts and thank you to the hard working staff as well.

James, We appreciate your review! Thanks for taking the time to leave it for us. Its always nice to know someone finds the videos helpful -- I know I like to find information when I'm looking for information so that's why we share the videos about consumer protection issues. I understand about anxiety -- for any of us if we are in a new situation and we don't understand the "rules of the game" then it is not a pleasant feeling. Glad we could help reduce your anxiety. It has been our pleasure to help you -- often times these debt collectors will come after us even when we don't owe the money. Hopefully these jokers have gotten the message to not mess with you -- that you are not going to ignore the lawsuits like so many do. Thanks again for your very kind review! John Watts

Extremely helpful and professional

I contacted John Watt's office after receiving a letter from an attorney regarding past debt. I was so confused and disturbed by the letter; I didn't know what to do. After watching numerous videos on You Tube of Mr. Watts explaining different legal matters, I filled out a contact form on his websi...te. Within an hour, his assistant contacted me. She listened and set up a phone interview with Mr. Watts. After speaking with him, I had a plan of action and felt more at ease. Mr. Watts was kind, polite, and non-judgemental. He still follows up with me concerning the matter. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to speak with him to obtain sound counsel.

Vicki, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Usually these debt collection letters come out of the blue -- I know in your case that is the situation. I'm happy that everyone followed up with you and treated you with respect. As far as a plan of action -- that is critical to have in order to have some peace of mind. The collectors are counting on us NOT having a plan and instead simply being forced to react. But you had a plan of action and you have worked that plan very well. It has been a pleasure to work with you and thank you again for your very nice thoughts about our firm. John Watts

I Represent that John Watts legal services are EXCELLENT!

I was sued by Midland, a company who had "purchased" an old debt of mine, and was attempting to collect on it, and as the single income of a family of 8, I was terrified. There was no way we could pay that, and although I wished to make good on my debt someday, I wanted to pay my debtor, not some thi...rd party. I found John Watts website, and watched several of his videos. Realizing I was probably not confident enough to fight the case myself, I contacted his office, and after speaking with one of his assistants, and then with John himself (all done very quickly after I contacted them I might add) I hired him to handle the case. His team kept in constant contact throughout the process, and was a joy to work with, and due to his work, Midland requested dismissal before it even went to trial. All in all, John is one of the good ones. I cannot begin to thank he and his office enough for all they did for me and my family.

Brian, Thanks for your comments and review. I'm happy that our team kept you informed -- they are wonderful at that. Makes my job easy to have a great team around me. Very glad Midland decided to go away so that you could put this behind you. We enjoyed representing you and thank you again for your very kind words! Best wishes! John Watts
