John Watts is the Man

Honest straight forward real answers. That sums up my experience with John. I was being sued by a debt collector when I called John. He wasted no time getting back with me and explained my options and then followed up with everything he said he would do. He won my case and then sued them and won agai...n when they didn't get it off my credit report. I then was sued again by another credit card company and again he won my case. I would recommend this guy to anybody. I called his office one day and within minutes of leaving a message, I received a call back from him and his associates. They give you a sense of comfort after talking to him my concerns went away. You know you are in good hands the minute you talk to him.

Thank you Allan for your feedback and for letting us represent you. It is always nice when we can beat the collectors on their bogus lawsuits and then sue them in federal court. Thank you for sticking with us and letting us help you. Again I appreciate the kind feedback and review you have given us. Have a great day! John Watts

Stopped the Foreclosure on our Home

I would hire this law firm in a second, since they saved our house from foreclosure. A top notch no nonsense legal team that will help you fight the battle, but you must buy-in to the process. We almost waited too long to yell for help, so park your pride and reputation at the door, dive in and liste...n carefully to what they have to say. I have listed some important touch points below that will give you the best chance to work with them to win the battle that you are facing and overwhelmed with like we were. They don't guarantee results, but their track record speaks for it's self.. * These guys are really good. * Find help before it's too late * Ditch your pride.. take action.. * Hire Watts & Herring sooner than later * Do as they say.. follow the process * Don't procrastinate.. do it.. * They don't sugarcoat anything * You better be thick skinned.. * You are fighting for your survival.. * They will help you understand the rules that many lenders ignore and take unfair advantage of borrowers. * Most important.. Take Action!!! Thankfully our son found Watts & Herring on Google under AlabamaConsumer.com. They were terrific in helping us dodge a foreclosure bullet. Their people, process, intensity and guidance are terrific. Would recommend them all day long.

Thank you Toby for the very kind review you gave us. Facing a foreclosure is very scary. For many of us, when we face something scary we tend to bury our head in the sand and hope that it will go away. But your review is spot on -- you have to take action. Sooner than later. Thanks again for your kind words and your encouragement to people who are facing a foreclosure to take action. That's our mission -- help people understand their rights when it comes to a foreclosure in Alabama and then take the right action immediately. Appreciate you taking the time to review us!

John Watts - Excellent attorney with genuine kindness

Upon receiving a summons that I was being sued by a Debt Collector, I felt a sense of hopelessness. After a few days of self pity I took to the internet to see if there was anything I could do. I intently watched Mr. Watts YouTube video and was impressed with his knowledge and demeanor. He outlined ...what to expect in this situation and the available options. I was convinced that I had to take action and called his office and spoke with a kind lady Carolyn. She set up a free phone consultation in which John patiently explained what could be done and that there was hope, real hope. There was a genuine kindness and zero pressure.I was convinced John was the only option for me and hiring him turned into one of the best decisions I've ever made. He kept me updated every step of the way and the outcome I was hoping for was completed even faster than I'd hoped for. I would recommend this man to any and all to stand up to a debt collector company. Thank you John for lifting this burden.

Eddie thank you for leaving us your review. Glad the youtube videos helped and so glad you let us handle this situation for you. When we deal with debt collection lawsuits we like for folks to understand their 5 options. It is not our job to convince consumers to hire us -- instead we lay out the options and if it makes sense, then we are happy to help people directly by representing them. Thank you again for reaching out to us and for letting us help you and for taking the time to leave us your honest review. John Watts

John Watts and Staff, Outstanding Service Representatives

John and his staff are very professional, efficient, knowledgeable, and caring people. Not knowing anything about Alabama laws my family and I went online looking for foreclosure attorney's and John Watts stood out from the other firms. We told them our situation and were advised on how to move forwa...rd. Being Minnesotans we did not realize how different the laws are in Alabama. For the past few weeks we have been advised on what to do and how to present ourselves with this legal matter. My family and I would like to thank you John Watts and staff for your expertise on foreclosure legalities. We would also like to thank you for your care and concerns while we went through this battle, and for sticking with us and seeing this thing through. We appreciate all the advice that was given, the explanations of legal documents, making sure we understood the documents and Alabama laws, who to contact and what to say and ask for at point of contact. We thank you for the acceleration of your knowledge base as we only had a short window of time. I feel your staff went above and beyond the call of duty in assisting my family. I believe if we had not contacted John Watts it would have been very detrimental to our family. Mr. Watts you and your staff are outstanding! I have family in Alabama and if at anytime anyone of them have legal matters in your expertise's, I am definitely referring them to your firm. We thank you that this matter was resolved in a timely manner and for staff availability. From the first call to the last call staff was available in a timely manner, messages were returned usually the same day, and there was never a time the attorney did not reach out to us to make sure everything was going smoothly. We are truly grateful for the team at John Watts, you are the Best. God Bless, and Thank you

Brenda, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a detailed review! It is hard to understand the foreclosure laws in Alabama but if you are living in another state, it just makes it even more challenging. We appreciate you giving us the opportunity to help you. Sometimes clients hire us to file lawsuits or to respond to lawsuits with the mortgage company. Other times we can help folks out by giving them advice "behind the scenes". You guys were great in letting us know exactly what you needed from us and in listening to our suggestions. If you ever need anything, let us know! Thanks again and we love helping great people like you.... John and Randi

Helped me as I faced a debt collection lawsuit

I was struggling tryng to defend a lawsuit on my own. I had very few options as I was in debt and being sued with the very real possibility of losing the case. With the potential loss of the lawsuit I was facing garnishment of my wages which would have been catastrophic for my family. Because I was b...eing sued I started getting advertisement letters from attorneys. Mr. Watts advertisment letter was the second one that I received. The first letter was from a bankruptcy attorney. I made an appointment with the first attorney who only had it in his mind to steer me toward bankruptcy. That first attorney offered no options and said if I was not filing bankruptcy he could not help me. When I received Mr. Watt's letter I started reading it and actually began to see other options. His letter was very informative and helped me to understand the ramifications of the lawsuit that had been filed against me. His letter offered a free phone consultation so I called. Best call I ever could have made. With no strings attached Mr. Watts took the time to understand my situation and actually offered options other than bankruptcy. Mr. Watts is actually a problem solver and does not cherry pick his cases. He will listen to you and take action on your behalf. He worked diligently to bring my case to a very equitable resolution. I would not hesitate to call Mr. Watts for any legal matter.
