Great Lawyer!!

Mr. Watkins was a great lawyer an he's a better person. He's very intelligent an he knows what he's doing. I was facing 2-20 years in jail an he got me probation I would send my family or loved ones to him if they would get into any legal trouble. He's a great lawyer an he's def is a good guy an trus...t worthy.

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.

Great Lawyer

I happen to meet Mr Watkins by accident and just from our consultation he sounded like he was very knowledgable and I could trust that he would do everything in his power to make sure I was going to be happy with the outcome. When he said he would be there...he was! When he said he would call...he ca...lled. I would do business again if i ever need representation with Mr Watkins with no hesitation!

Good lawyer

Mr. Watkins successfully defended me in the DUI case I got in 2011. He worked with me in setting up payment arrangements I could afford which was very helpful. He attended my license revocation hearing and kept me from losing my drivers license. He attended all my court dates and got my case dismisse...d. He is a very courteous and professional attorney which I would recommend to anyone.

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."

  • 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.
