So grateful to have found Watkin's Law Firm

I don’t believe I’ve ever written a review before but I really felt compelled to after our experience with Jennifer. My college aged son(18) was visiting Boulder and got himself into an unusual DUI situation. We helped him look on-line for lawyers in Boulder and came across Watkins Law Firm as well... as others. Since it was his problem to learn from, we had him take over from there. He chose Watkins to call. As we checked in with him, we were so impressed with how his lawyer helped him understand his situation and kept him completely informed along the way. Eventually we accompanied him to court and were able to meet his attorney, Jennifer Watkins. I can’t believe how lucky we all were to have her represent him. She was truly on his side and understood what the consequence could mean for him if this didn’t go well. She was positive and encouraging as well as a good teacher, not that it’s her job. In court it was reassuring to see how she handled herself and to see that she had a good rapport with the District Attorney and Judge. In the end she was able to guide him into a much more positive outcome than a DUI. As the parent of someone in legal trouble, I can’t say enough good things about Jennifer Watkin’s Law Firm. I am grateful I can share our experience here and hope to find other sites people use to find a lawyer so those looking can hear what a great attorney she is.

Great Attorney

Jennifer Watkins was an fantastic attorney. She was friendly, experienced and reliable with the intent to fight for you. She responded quick to any answers and knew what to do for the best possible outcome. Ultimately, Jennifer was able to talk and negotiate to the DA and got my case DIMISS!! Couldn'...t be more grateful for her expertise. Highly recommend for any services.

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.
