Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer. Electra Watson is the epitome of professionalism. She is extremely knowledgeable and she works hard not just out of duty, but because she truly cares about the people involved in the case. Even though I am a lawyer, if I needed a lawyer, I would not hesitate to call Electra Watson.
