Not just another attorney!

I found John Watts while searching for information on personal debt statutory limitations and contacted his office. His assistant fielded my questions to see if she could answer them for me. However, because of the type and amount of debt I was dealing with, she recommended that I speak to John dir...ectly. He wasn't available at the time so she set a time for him to call me when it was convenient for BOTH of us which happened to be in the evening. (Not many attorneys will speak to you, especially someone that isn't already a client, outside of normal business hours.) He answered my questions, offered advice and determined my case would be best suited for a different type of attorney to which he referred me. John is very professional but down-to-earth and genuinely cares about his clients or potential clients. He wants to help solve your problems! If he feels you will be best served by another attorney, he will tell you so. Unlike some attorneys that are all about the money and want you to hire them even if their not specialized in the area of law that you require representation. I highly recommend John Watts!

Thank you for your review Michael -- I appreciate it. I'm glad the consultation was convenient -- we do so many of our consultations by phone as that is the most convenient and there is no reason to make you drive to our office, park, etc. And if we are doing them by phone, its just as easy to do in the evening. :) I told someone the other day that I don't have the broadest set of skills -- what I do have, I think I'm pretty good at but there are a lot of things where I want someone else to handle it as they can do it better than I can. I hope things worked out great with someone else and thanks again for the kind words you said about my firm. Best wishes! John Watts

Thanks Michael -- we sure enjoyed representing you and appreciate you being willing to stand up and fight back against abusive companies. So often these companies think they can destroy your credit with false credit reporting -- when they run into people like you it causes them to re-evaluate it. You messed up their "bottom line" approach. :) Thanks for letting us help you in your fight against false credit reporting and thank you for the kind comments you said about us. Best wishes my friend.... 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

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

Consultation

From my first conversation with Carollyn to my consult. conversations with John Watts It has helped me as I await my court hearing with midland funding. I am still nervous but I recieved good sound advice on how to handle myself in and out of court, the possibilities he did not give me alot of false ...expexctations but he gave me hope for a better outcome than if I had not spoken to anyone.

Natasha, Thank you for you nice review. Midland Funding sues so many consumers in Alabama and the biggest danger is not taking action -- the next biggest danger is simply not knowing what to expect. You were very wise to take action and then to learn "the lay of the land" -- what to expect before your trial and then at your trial. It was very nice to speak with you and I wish you only the best.... Thank you again for the kind words about Carolyn and about me. John Watts John Watts
