for David Watts

He consulted with me, explained the process; gave me a plan of action; answered my calls; consoled and calmed me as the case proceeded; followed up with me when either he or I needed it. He is direct, to the point, and thorough, yet comforting.

Criminal defense lawyer | Jul 27

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. David is an excellent criminal attorney. Few criminal attorneys possess the experience and the work ethic that David does. David's knowledge of criminal law is surpassed only by the amount of effort and hard work he gives each and every client. I would recommend Mr. Watts to anyone in need of a serious criminal defense attorney."

Criminal defense lawyer | Feb 16

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"David Watts is on a short list of lawyers I would contact if I ever found myself in a position where I required a criminal defense lawyer. I have tried no less than three cases with him as co-counsel and am always amazed at some point during a case when he considers or actually utilizes a tactic lesser attorneys never would have thought of. I fully endorse the work of David Watts."
