Former Customer

If I could rate Mr. Watkins below 1 I would. Absolutely unprofessional and unresponsive. Do yourself a favor and stay away. His 'legal assistant' Lucianna Respondi is just as bad. STAY AWAY!

Ignores deadlines

We hired Michael and chose to keep his representation even after we changed real estate agents. We had an inspection and he ignored our deadline causing us to miss negotiations with the sellers. Extremely disappointed and will not recommend. Also, during the course of our case, he talked down about o...thers in his industry which is bad professionalism.

The best there is!!

My sister and I hired Michael for the sale of our home and he was nothing short of amazing. He is professional, knowledgeable and available. He handheld us through every step of the transaction and answered every question we had with confidence. I have since referred him to numerous friends and fami...ly and will continue to when any opportunity arises. Michael comes highly recommended!!

After reviewing our case management software, there is no record of any active or closed clients named Ken that were paid clients of Watkins Legal Group. We apologize for any confusion however, our office does not possess any record of retention for any Kens or Kenneths. We wish you the best on whatever your legal endeavor may be.

Recently, I have had Michael on many of my Real Estate purchase transactions. I am impressed with not only his professional acumen, but his sincere care for his clients. I close many purchase deals every year in NE Illinois. I refer Michael when I can without any reservation. He does a great job!
