Won me everything I was wanting!!

I was referred to Mr. Watkins by a friend, a friend that I am now indebted to. I must have called 15 lawyers trying to find the perfect one to take on my case. Exhausted and ready to give up, Mr. Watkins came my way. Every lawyer before Mr. Watkins stated how hard my case would be and/or I shouldn't ...even pursue anything and just accept my losses because it was going to be too difficult. However, my family and I KNEW we had a case. We knew I had been wronged but no one would take the time to listen. The first conversation I had with Mr. Watkins, he believed me. He too knew there was foul play. Ergo, he took on my case. When I met Mr. Watkins in person he was very well dressed, sharp-minded, and had a firm handshake - something I believe truly says a lot about someones confidence. Throughout the length of my case, he and his professional staff were quick to respond and always polite. He handled my case so well and was a sharp shooter. By the time my case was coming to a close and we settled on an agreement, Mr. Watkins had won me pretty much EVERYTHING I was wanting. If I would have listened to all the lawyers before Mr. Watkins, my future and reputation would be in shambles. Now I can close that chapter of my life knowing a fresh, positive start is on my horizon. I highly recommend Mr. Watkins to anybody. I cannot thank you enough, Mr. Watkins.

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."

  • 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.
