Honest and personable attorney who gets results!

Attorney Gene Watkins is honest, trustworthy, accessible, and personable. He was very timely in helping me with my case and was effective in helping me get results. I strongly recommend that you allow him to help you with your legal matters.

Effective and sound representation

I worked with Sherman Watkins on a recent wrongful u-turn ticketed by an officer. Gene Watkins successfully had my case dismissed and I didn't have to show up for court. I will use them in the future and highly recommend them for clients who need solid and effective representation.

Highly recommend

Employment Law: I was referred to Mr.Watkins by a friend. During my consultation he listened to my concerns attentively. The attention he gave to me and my case is exactly what I was looking for. I wasn’t just another client I mattered to him and he fought for me. He was honest and to the point. You ...will not be disappointed with him on your side! Thanks again

Unknown lawyer | Jan 28

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"While Gene "Tony" Watkins is known for good criminal defense work, he is also known among his peers as an attorney who has practiced almost all types of law. Bankruptcy, Contract Disputes, Family Law, Discrimination, you name it. He is not afraid to get his hands dirty. If I have a question of law (other than criminal) that I don't know the answer to, Tony is one of the first people I call. His overall knowledge is outstanding."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
