About Travis

I am Travis Watkins. I grew up in Oklahoma City and graduated from Putnam City North High School in Oklahoma City, and after a short 4-year hiatus to attend William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri and Oxford University in Oxford, England, I returned to attend Oklahoma City University Law School.

My wife, Jennifer, grew up in Duncan, Oklahoma. We value our faith in God and are avid members of Life.Church. I have 2 kids, Knox and Emma, who are 9 and 8. 

I am a licensed member of the State Bars of Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas and have practiced law for 18 years. In my first years of practice, I was a successful litigator for mostly big companies. I was also a partner at a mid-size law firm.

In 2006, I shifted my primary focus to IRS Resolution work helping small businesses and individuals deal with the IRS and other tax authorities. I am licensed by the IRS to practice in every U.S. territory. 

If you have an IRS problem, I would love to talk to you about ending it for good.  I can be reached 24 hours a day at 1-800-721-7054.

Review Travis Watkins

Garnishments stopped!

Posted by

Travis Watkins and staff were wonderful. Travis was referred to me by a friend who went to law school with him and stated he was very fair in pricing and would work hard to help me. They worked with the IRS to get my garnishments stopped while I was in the process of proving I was not responsible for the back taxes owed, my ex-husband was. I was very impressed with the way this was handled so quickly. They were very diligent. Money well spent. I would recommend to anyone!! Stephanie

Had been worried sick. Appointment made quickly. Information so meaningful. We walked out knowing we’d made the right decision. Our issue was relatively minor and something that we know we made the right decision on. Wonderful experience start to finish!!

Due to life stumbles I found myself in a rather precarious situation with the IRS. After fretting over how to correct my errors for many months, I had heard a radio commercial for the Travis Watkins Tax Office. I scheduled an appointment and met Joey Akbar. I found his knowledge and advise to be spot on. During our meeting he pointed out several avenues to help me through this trying time of my life. After our meeting I felt that a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Very knowledgeable staff. I would highly recommend this office to anyone that may find themselves in the vise of Government Revenue Collectors.

I met with a representative of Mr. Watkins firm and he was very kind and helpful. I felt like my world was coming to an end and he assured me that there is a solution to my problem. He was not judgmental (because I know I kinda did this to myself) and I pray that things get addressed in the prompt timeframe he discussed!

An excellent lawyer who treats clients with patience, care, understanding, and utmost professionalism - an even better person and I wholeheartedly recommend for future services.

Tracy Tiernan, Car accident Attorney on Nov 20, 2017
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. Travis Watkins is, in my opinion, the finest tax attorney in the State of Oklahoma. I have witnessed this not only as a fellow attorney, but as a client of his law office. I retained Travis Watkins to handle a very serious IRS tax arrearage in 2015 after having a poor experience with a previously retained tax attorney. Travis and his team of attorneys worked tirelessly on my case and treated me with the utmost courtesy and respect from start to finish. In the end, Travis succeeded in securing for me an accepted Offer in Compromise that not only saved me over $200,000, but also saved my career and my family.
