Very happy client

I was involved in a vehicle accident and Jennifer and her staff have gone above and beyond to help me with my situation. Her knowledge and kindness are of the upmost degree, and with Her confidence and guidance throughout the whole process I received the best possible outcome with my case. Her dedica...tion, professionalism, and compassion are unmatched and I would highly recommend her if you are looking for representation.

Proficient and she cares

On November 25th 2019 I was involved in an accident. It was my first accident which was bad but to make matters worse I was charged with a DUI. On the Basis that I refused a test. I was taken to jail had my license suspended and could not work in my field with a suspended license and with a a DUI... my driving career was over. I had reached out to a few Lawyers but Jennifer not only responded she heard my case got directly on getting reports and was eventually able to get my case dismissed. She even fought the plea deal offered after we had won our motions hearing. Telling me that in my case anything less than an outright dismissal would be unacceptable which meant alot. In the end she saved me about 4000 dollars because she was willing to fight my case. She even fought for the arrest to be removed from by record so that I don't have any issues with background check. I would highly recommend Jennifer she is a highly competent and adapt lawyer. Thank you Jennifer

Jennifer will go above and beyond for you!

Where do I start with the overwhelming gratitude I have for Jennifer at Watkins Law Firm LLC?! My experience was beyond amazing and Jennifer went above and beyond to make me feel supported, empowered, and hopeful. She was punctual and responsive and didn't waste one minute on my case. She listened wi...th empathy and compassion and knew exactly what to say to ease my anxiety through the entire process of my case. Jennifer was not only an attorney, she was a person who believed in me and the importance of my place in this community. She often reminded me that I am worthy of a second chance and that I deserve to be valued. In the end, Jennifer honestly saved my life.

Peace of Mind

When I called Jennifer, I was pretty lost and unsure about how to handle everything. She was very calm and understanding of my case. I had a couple of charges against me and the unknown soon became known as Jennifer worked some magic and had all of the charges replaced with a lesser charge making my ...life much easier. She answered all of my questions through the process and was very attentive and was always available. She won my DMV hearing, which is rare! This meant no interlock device! Overall, Jennifer made this process for me and my family much easier and gave me some relief while dealing with this. I would recommend Jennifer over and over again to anyone who is lost and dealing with a DUI charge.

AMAZING Experience

There are no words to describe how incredible my experience with Ms. Watkins was after I received my first DUI. It was terrifying, embarrassing, and traumatic but I was lucky enough to have Jennifer help me through it. She looks at the bigger picture and provides support and incredible advice. She ta...kes the time to give you an idea of exactly how things will play out and does an amazing job fighting for her clients. She understands that we are not perfect but makes it a goal to guide her clients in the right direction. She has not only encouraged me to take responsibility so that I could move forward, but has also helped me to not allow this to ruin my life. She was available every time I had questions or concerns. She would also follow up consistently to make sure I was completing her recommendations so that she could relay that to the court. If you have the pleasure of being a client of Ms. Watkins, you will see the immense amount of experience and knowledge she had. There was never a question I had that she couldn’t answer herself or get the answer to me within a small amount of time. The court would like to see the defendant getting help, taking responsibility, and bettering themselves and the community so that the instance never happens again. Jennifer will absolutely put you on that path. She will make sure to get you the best possible outcome for your case and the best possible outcome for maintaining the stressors that come with the charges and outcome. I am truly grateful for Jennifer Watkins having been a part of not only my case, but the positive future I have ahead of me.
