Free Consultation

When a family member encountered a problem with their mortgage lender, I searched the internet for some advice applicable to the situation. I found the Watts & Herring website, and the many exceptionally informative articles and videos that Mr. Watts has developed. He has, obviously, put a tremen...dous amount of time and effort towards educating us about the perils and pitfalls one may encounter in dealing with some lenders, as well as rights and remedies available to us. The gut feeling I developed was that "this is a guy who really does wants to help others". No kidding - this is not a paid political advertisement - that was exactly my feeling. My feeling was reinforced after calling his office and discussing the situation troubling me with Carolyn. She was warm and welcoming, provided me with helpful information, and then brought the matter to Mr. Watts’ attention in case further action was necessary. Would you like to know what John Watts' firm didn’t do? They did not tell me “sure, you need to retain us, sign this contract with us right away”. In fact, they didn’t charge me a dime for the help provided. If I should need to go further with this situation, there is no doubt in my mind whatsoever to whom I would turn - John Watts. A legal battle would not be fun, but I’d sleep a lot better knowing Mr Watts was leading us through it.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. I appreciate what you said. We know that facing mortgage issues can be very scary (its our house) and frustrating as there is so much mis-information out there. I'm glad you found the videos/articles to be helpful. So glad to hear you had a great experience with Carolyn -- she is very caring and helpful. I'm not sure how she does it as she stays on the phone all day long but I've decided not to ask any questions. :) About money -- we run a for profit lawfirm so we do need to make money to pay salaries, insurance, etc. but we only want folks to pay us money if that is in their best interest. Because we know we tell folks "You don't need to hire us now" when that is true -- it gives us confidence to tell people "You do need to hire a lawyer right now" when that is true. Hope you don't need us but if you do, Carolyn will be waiting for your call. :) Thanks so much for the kind review and best wishes! John Watts

John Watts Consultation

I found Mr. John Watts on YouTube. I was laid off from my job of 15 years and it took several months for me to find a new job. The new job came with a very substantial pay cut so I am no longer able to pay my mortgage. Mr. Watts made 4 DVDs available to me, for free, regarding all the options availab...le to me and how I should approach and work with my mortgage company. He also talked with me over the phone concerning this, for free!! I feel much more confident now and know I can call on him if I need to during this process. He is a very caring and kind person with extensive knowledge! I would recommend him to anyone!!

A great down to earth man !

I was being sued for a credit card debt that should have been covered by a sick and accident insurance, which the credit card company denied. Mr Watts is not only a great attorney, he is a great, down to earth , kind hearted man! He went above and beyond what is required to show these collectors they... are wrong. I never even had to meet him in the office. But I do plan to one day soon to shake his hand and let him know how much I appreciate his help. During the time he was taking care of these things for me, my daughter was having health problems and seizures, I mentioned to him that it would be hard for me to leave her to go fight this. He took care of everything and everytime I spoke with him he asked how she was doing. That really means a lot to a person going through these things. He has so much concern for you and your family, he seems more like a family member to you. Most attorneys don't seem to have that type contact and thoughtfulness to you when you are dealing with them. All this makes everything so much easier on a person knowing that the person you are depending on to help you at a hard time in your life, has that much thoughtfulness and care about your whole family. And yes knows what he is doing and takes care of the business ! I highly recommend Mr Watts ! But not only Mr Watts, but his complete staff goes out of their way to help you and make you feel like they are part of your family. Some things I wasn't so great on downloading on my email, so they helped with it and sent links that my smartphone would open for me!

Don, Thank you for the kind review and the detail you put into it. Being sued is stressful enough, then add to it not owing the debt, and having medical issues all at the same time. You did great and stuck to your guns which allowed us to help you so thank you for doing that. It was a pleasure representing you. Glad to hear Carolyn and Melissia were helpful to you -- technology is great except when it doesn't work! They are very good about finding alternative ways to get information out including the good old fashioned US Mail. :) Thank you again for letting us help you and may 2016 be a great year for you and your family!

He Stops The Harassing Phone Calls...

Recently John G. Watts helped me settle a debt collection lawsuit where I was being harassed by a company day after day for several months with excessive phone calls. I didn’t know that they were breaking the law until I spoke with John; he then informed me that my rights were being violated. I even ...received a cash settlement because of the collections agencies failure to follow the law. John kept me up to date on everything that was going on with my case. I thank John everyday that my phone is no longer ringing off the hook with debt collectors. I highly recommended John G. Watts to everyone who is having the same problem I was. THANK YOU JOHN!!

Excellent legal advisor

John helped advise me on a civil matter when my wife was hit by an 18 wheeler. The legal knowledge and experiential wisdom that he provided our family helped us gain a fair and equitable settlement from the trucking company which was clearly at fault in our case. I would highly recommend John due t...o his knowledge, experience and most of all his integrity. Not all lawyers are crooks and malcontents. John works hard for his clients to get them the best possible results - this was certainly the case for us.
