This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Experienced Travis County Defense Lawyer

When my cases felt overwhelming, Michael Watson was the advocate I needed. He knows the law, but more importantly he knows how to talk to clients—clear, direct, and respectful. From our first conversation, he outlined a realistic strategy, set expectations, and kept me informed. He prepared me for ea...ch court setting, explained my options in plain English, and never once made me feel rushed or confused. What could have been a frightening process became manageable because he stayed ahead of issues and focused on solutions. I’m grateful for his professionalism, calm presence, and diligence. I highly recommend Michael Watson to anyone who wants a lawyer who is both strategic and human.
