A No No attorney

Good luck to anyone that hires this attorney. As for our experience we lost a good percentage of my parents estate because of this attorney. He did little on our behalf, letting the opposing attorney do everything on behalf of my brothers. My Mother did not have to die but hiring this attorney ins...ured that my Mother did not have a chance. My sister and I had to pay all the attorney's fees while my sister in law (who was not a beneficiary, executor, or trustee) lived off of our my parent's estate and took all the cash that she received from cashing in the assets. Being an executor, beneficiary or trustee made no difference and this attorney did not want to hear about the sister in law removing all the cash, ending our parent's caregivers life. This was in addition to both of my parent's lives being ended by this sister in law.

"Jim is an excellent attorney—highly experienced, knowledgeable, and ethical. I’ve worked with Jim indirectly on multiple succession cases and have reviewed many contracts and wills he has prepared; his work is consistently superb and very thorough. As an attorney myself, I have complete confidence in Mr. Watson’s legal expertise and decades of experience. I wholeheartedly endorse Jim and recommend him without reservation. Whether you need a will, legal advice, or more extensive assistance with estate planning or contract drafting, Jim is a trusted and respected attorney you should consider in the SWLA area.
