Call John NOW if you are being harrassed or sued! Excellent attorney!

When I first received notification from LVNV that they were suing me, I was devastated and did not know where to turn. I was embarrassed and was afraid they would contact my employer. After many nights of no sleep, I googled “what to do if sued by debt collector” and I immediately found the inf...ormation John had posted on their website regarding what a debt collector can and cannot do. There is so much information there! I spoke with John on the phone and realized right away LVNV should not have sued me. After disputing the debt, LVNV had the suit against me dismissed. While this was good….it got GREAT when I talked with John again and he filed suit against LVNV. They should not have sued me in the first place and they should have removed it from my credit report. Because of John, I got a very nice settlement that was VERY unexpected! I not only feel great for having beat LVNV, I also hope that more people will contact John so he can fight back for you and teach these debt collectors to do their research before they jump! THANKS John!!!!!!!

John Watts was a lifesaver for me and he can be for you, too!

A short while ago, I felt like I had the weight of the world on my shoulders. My husband had lost his job twice in the past few years, and our financial situation reflected that. Debtors and creditors alike were calling me night and day - with some threatening to sue. The last straw happened when ...a creditor decided to contact my manager at the office since I was not returning his calls. I got online and saw John's website, which offered a lot of helpful information for the situation that I was going through. After I made my appointment with John, I began to feel a little relief. The consultation was free. So, what could it hurt to meet with him and discuss my situation? I am SO glad that I made that appointment with John. In talking to me during that first meeting, John discovered that not one, but two collection agencies had used illegal practices to collect an alleged debt from me. During that first meeting, John made me feel very comfortable and just seemed like a really good guy trying to protect consumers. He was - and still is - very down to earth and very eager to help you. John filed a lawsuit on my behalf. The letters and phone calls immediately stopped, and within a few months, both companies ended up settling out of court. They knew that what they had done to me was illegal. John caught them at their game. Just yesterday, John handed me my settlement check from these two collection agencies. These people who were trying to get money from me ended up having to give me money because what they were doing was illegal. I would have never known this if I hadn't contacted John Watts. Throughout the entire process, John kept me updated and answered my emails and phone calls in a timely manner. He treated me more like a good friend than a client. Last night, it felt really great to be able to lay my head on my pillow wihthout worry. -No more worry or sick feelings in the pit of my stomach....just a sense of peace...Thank you John!

Susan, It was a true pleasure to represent you. Momentum is a powerful thing -- whether in our favor or against us. It certainly feels very tough when everything seems to be falling on us at the same time. Collectors calling night and day. Especially calling our work, etc. I'm so glad you did your research -- your "due diligence" -- and figured out your rights and then you took action. Many just learn. But you learned and took action. That's why these jokers left you alone and why they paid a settlement -- because you took action against them. Thanks for the kind review -- we really enjoyed representing you. So glad you felt peace afterward -- that's what we are looking for! Thanks! John Watts

Compassion and Results

We were targeted by a bully debt collector and felt very intimidated. John helped us understand our rights and explained to us how we can use the legal system to stand up for ourselves. He walked us through every step and we could not be happier with our results.

Best Lawyer In Alabama

John is very personable. He made my husband and me feel like he actually does his job because he cares- it's not about the money. It's about taking on companies that get out of line! It's taking on companies that get away with nonsense and make your life more complicated than it has to be. John was m...indful of my health issues too. I just cant say enough good about John. I didnt even get this good of service with our family attorney of more than 17 years. If I needed John- he made his self avalible without delay. As for the durration of our case- that was excellent too! I was expecting this to drag out at least a year or better- not for us, it was just a matter of months.

Jamie, Thank you for the kind words. We enjoyed representing y'all. It takes people like you standing up to the companies to make a change. To make them alter the way they do business. Thank you for doing that and for letting us work with you. Thanks also for taking the time to leave us a review! John Watts

Review- John G. Watts

We received a summons we knew was incorrect, but the credit agencies were not interested at all in reviewing our request. I reached out to John Watts and was immediately put at ease that there were options for us. He clearly explained our rights under the credit laws and listened to my concerns. ...He was diligent in filing our complaints and interceding for us with the credit company, and was able to correct the situation far above what we had hoped. He was so easy to understand and trustworthy. I would recommend him to anyone struggling with credit card companies - you need someone to help you with your rights as a consumer.

Sue, Thank you for the review! We try to lay out the options -- that's what I like when I'm needing help. To understand my options in plain English. Thanks for letting us help you and for being such an easy client to work with. And we appreciate you leaving us feedback also! John Watts
