Stellar Human in Serious Legal Circumstances

It's really challenging to find an attorney that 1) you trust, (2, has the experience, 3) does is because they care. I do not subscribe to those who manipulate the system - it comes back to bite - unquestionably, and the attorney does not care. Jennifer's note in her bio is very real - "ability to g...ive her clients adequate time, resources, and attention needed for their cases". I have worked with many attorneys. There are great, ethical attorneys, and there are attorneys who are in it for the money. This is not Jennifer Watkins. She really cares about her clients. Some of us may not be completely innocent, yet she is able to bring to light those factors that may impact the issue - hence thoughtfulness, dedication and compassion. I also work with Domestic Violence clients - being one myself. These issues are PARAMOUNT!! Folks don't get it until it h happens to them. There are people out there, like Jennifer who work to support us. Thank you Jennifer, for being there for us to help us sustain our facts and options. Many of us are SO grateful for your work and diligence in this field.

I appreciate Jennifer's approach to coaching me through a difficult time in my life, her compassion put me at ease and reassured me that I would make it through this process. She advocated for me, my situation and the best possible outcome given the circumstances - thank you Jennifer.

Helpful attorney

I had been in a car accident in Westminster. The police report had accused me of being the at fault driver and issued a court trial summons. He had also docked me for 3 points and a TIAB. Fortunately , I was able to locate Jennifer Watkins in Boulder through a google search. I immediately contacted... her. She was very polite, heard my case saw the documents and within in a hour she agreed to represent me in court. She was at the court hearing and was able to argue may case and make it a 1 point non moving violation and a fine. This was very heartening and I was relieved. I have never had to go to a court, so it was very intimidating . Jennifer, is very astute, sharp, pleasant, courteous and reliable attorney. She should be the first go to lawyer in Boulder in such instances.

Exceptional Attorney and Down-to Earth Human Being

“Ms. Watkins helped me not only avoid prison time but also helped me to receive the best sentence possible and was extremely helpful throughout the entire process in explaining anything I did not understand or know. She’s not only an exceptional attorney but is also an incredibly caring and compassio...nate human being who truly advocated for me as her client but also as a person and wanted to know my story. As professional as she is, most of the time I felt like I was speaking with an intelligent and kind friend who also happened to be a skilled, experienced, and knowledgeable attorney. Highly recommend, If I could give six stars I would. Don't even look elsewhere, hire Ms. Watkins.

Watkins law goes above and beyond. Jennifer truly helped me and my family when we needed it. She made sure everything was real clear and understood while moving through my case. I am so grateful to have had her represent me.
