Best Lawyer/Person you could ask for..

I am not the type of person that is very familiar with the law, mainly because I've never been in trouble prior to this, but Jennifer helped me through a very difficult situation more than I could have ever asked for. I was pulled over for swerving outside of Estes Park after hearing that my dad was ...in a terrible car accident and was hospitalized. I had no intention of driving that night. Needless to say my swerving on the road as a result of drinking was very obvious. This all happened only months after I lost my boyfriend from a heart-attack, the man I thought I was going to marry, the man that I had been dating for half of my life (I'm 23). I felt very hopeless and at a very low point in my life. Jennifer not only made me comfortable and much more ease with every step of the process of almost getting a DUI, but also got my charges dropped from a DUI to all the minimums of a DWAI (with no fines aside from the court fees!). She was incredible. She saved me from something that I spent many sleepless nights worrying about. I could not thank her enough. She is a wonderful lawyer and even better at showing she truly cares. I could have not asked for a better outcome nor representative for myself in the courtroom.

After working with jennifer

Not knowing anything about the law and what happens after a DUI, Jennifer was very skilled about helping me understand what was going to happen throughout the process. I'm glad I had Jennifer on my side through all of it, she is great at her chosen for profession. Trust and believe in her she is tha...t good, she will help you get through it all.

Knowledgeable, Personable, Gets The Job Done

I recently sought out the law services of Jennifer Watkins for a DUI I received. Hiring Jennifer was the best decision I could have ever made. She exceeded all of my expectations and went above and beyond for me. She is extremely personable, yet incredibly professional at the same time. She is also v...ery knowledgeable, knowing exactly what steps to take to create a successful outcome. When I received the DUI, I was on probation from a previous incident, and I found out I was facing 2 years in jail. I had immense anxiety as I faced the uknown of my future. I decided to hire Jennifer on for this case as well. Her years of legal experience, as well as her calm, soothing demeanor shown through, as she guided me through exactly what needed to be done in order to assure the best possible outcome. Her approach to law is straightforward, innovative and creative. Through her hard work and determination, she was able to get the DA to revoke the probation violation charges! Jennifer Watkins literally saved my life. For the DUI, she was able to get me the lowest charge possible, making me able to move forward with my life with expedience and ease. I highly recommend the law services of Jennifer Watkins.

Real Person - Very Effective.

I hired Jennifer to resolve a traffic matter for me and she was able to reduce it for me so there was little cost and no impact on my driving record. She usually handles DUI's but in this case she knew the system and I felt taken care of. The value of the service actually resulted in saving money.
