Awesome lawyer that is highly recommend

I found and decided on Jennifer after thoroughly looking at other attorneys for my case. I can honestly and gratefully say it was the best decision I could have made. Jennifer was totally helpful and knowledgeable from the first consultation over the phone to our meetings in person, so much so that e...ven before my sentencing I recommended her to a close friend in a similar situation. Although I took responsibility and admitted guilt from the very beginning with my first contact with the Police, and possibly made it more difficult for Jennifer as a defense attorney. Jennifer's 18 years of experience truly showed in representing me and getting me the best possible outcome given my circumstances.

Jennifer Watkins amazing DUI attorney

Ms. Watkins is amazing, I was arrested for a DUI, Driving Under Revocation, Leaving the Scene of an Accident/-Damage, Careless Driving, all dismissed. No jail, unsupervised probation, no community service, minimum fines, she convinced the DA he couldn't prove the cases and got the DUI and all those ...other charges dismissed. The DA did decide that he could prove Reckless Driving, so as part of my 6 months of probation I am not allowed to drive a vehicle. This could have ended up much worse. I can't say enough about Jennifer, she asked me at the beginning what I wanted as an outcome, I told her that I just wanted it all to go away. And she absolutely came through. If you're in trouble with the law you need her on your side.

Though and kind

Jennifer was always considerate and kind, asking how I was feeling after my car accident and during the court procedures. She held her position with the DA and did not let him bully her into a plea that we were not comfortable with. Jennifer responded quickly to my emails, texts, or phone calls..., even after hours. I would highly recommend Jennifer to my friends, as she did a great job and is very knowledgeable of the various laws and procedures.

A passionate, extremely helpful lawyer

Jenna made it possible for me to go on probation, as it was an offense that demanded jail time. Before my court, we talked and I could tell she knew exactly what she was doing and even cared about me as a person. I will definitely hire her in the future if needed, but hopefully I won’t need to.

Don't hire an attorney without speaking with Jennifer Watkins!

Jennifer Watkins is a highly experienced, reliable, and competent attorney. If you are looking for an attorney who is a true professional AND actually cares about you & your case, look no further. I am a highly skeptical person and turned away offers & opportunities to work with other attorneys who...m I contacted during my search because after reading some reviews and speaking with them, a level of trust was notably absent. I must say that I was also skeptical of the reviews I had read regarding Jennifer, but after speaking on an initial consult I was impressed by how knowledgeable and genuine she was. Her level of direct, honest, and caring communication was nothing less than 100% consistent throughout the process. She took great care in making sure I understood everything that was happening, going to happen, and my available options & best strategies. If you think I'm making this attorney sound too good to be true - go ahead and call by bluff...by calling Jennifer. Jennifer, thank you!!!
