Posted by Chris | April 07, 2017 | Hired Attorney

Done deal

From the start of the interview he gave me his full investment of my time and his. Heard word for word what I was describing of what my troubles were. Understood what needed to be done at the moment of my ending of my story. Game changer for all that has been on the short side of a bad situation. T...hank you for being in the bull pin for me and my family.

Trusted Advisor

Gene (Tony) has his clients best interest at heart. This is key for anybody in a legal situation, he takes each matter at heart and works to get the best for you in your situation. I immediately gained his trust and he worked countless hours, took my calls anytime of day and got me the results I was ...looking for which was a dismissal on my case and nothing on record. Im appreciative for his efforts and forever in debt to his service for me

Domestic violence case

Hired Mr.Watkins for a domestic violence case.He was very thorough,and informative through out the entire time I was in court.He handled my case very well.Was originally charged with a felony, but he helped get it reduced to a misdemeanor, with deferred adjudication.

Best Lawyer in Harris/Galveston/Brazoria County!

Even though Family law was not his primary discipline, Gene (Tony) took my case, which was a change of custody order on a Divorce. Not only was Tony thorough, but he took on my case, and even followed through with me until the order was finalized, ensuring no bridge left uncrossed. I recommend him ...to ANYONE in need of a lawyer that will fight for your rights!

Professional, Knowledgeable and Thorough best describes Mr. Watkins.

Mr. Watkins reviewed our case in a very professional manner, put forward his advice and laid out what the prosecution would do. Due to Mr. Watkins thoroughness he had every avenue covered and countered arguments into our favor. His working knowledge of the District Attorney office proved invaluable... and resulted in the case being dismissed. Should we need an attorney again Mr. Watkins is our first call.

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.
