Client

After looking into quite a few attorneys and reviews, I decided to contact Jennifer Watkins Esquire in Boulder to help with a DUI citation. Boy, am I glad I did! She was extremely professional and helpful. Sometimes, even calling me just to see how I was doing. Going through a DUI can be very stressf...ul. She was almost always available to take my call or email. Incredibly quick responses if she was wasn’t immediately in the office. Her rates were very reasonable. I was confident from the start she would get the best result possible with my impossible case. She gave me advice and directed me with options to give my case the best chance to succeed. I followed her recommendations and finished every last item. The end result was amazing. If you want a lawyer who goes above and beyond and really cares about her clients and results, she’s the one for you. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.

Ms. Watkins delivered the best representation I could have imagined

In what can only be described as an incredibly stressful, dark, and difficult time, Jennifer was a shining ray of light. After calling several other attorneys who either did not respond or only succeeded in amplifying my fears and anxiety, Jennifer got back with me immediately. I instantly had the se...nse that she truly had my best interest at heart and would work to achieve the best possible outcome for my situation. She was not only an excellent listener, but also extremely kind, knowledgeable, thorough, and experienced. Her approach made me immediately feel seen for who I am rather than just another client facing a charge. All of the direction, action, and advice she offered was spot on and her responsiveness to my questions remained as speedy on the last day as it was on the first. She knows the law, the process, and at least in my case, the people that held my fate in their hands. Navigating the extraordinarily intense and complicated aftermath of an alcohol related offense is terribly bleak, frightening, and overwhelming. However, she guided me through it and represented me with a unique blend of optimism and realism for which I am eternally grateful. Although I certainly hope that I never require her services again, if anyone I know or care about is ever in need of this type of representation, I will emphatically send them to Jennifer.

Above and Beyond

Jennifer Watkins is a top-notch professional! She took the time to explain and answer all questions related to my case, and I had many questions along the way. It was clear that her experience in the field has given her a wealth of information about each step in the process. Her professional connecti...ons were very helpful as we needed them. Her communication was direct and efficient and her follow-through was focused on the best outcome. I found her to be an ethically and legally sure-footed attorney. Perhaps most importantly, she was genuinely caring and a true asset for my case.

Watkins Law

I highly recommend Jennifer Watkins to anyone in the Boulder area. From start to finish Jennifer was compassionate and understanding of the underlying issues concerning my case. Through the whole legal process she kept me calm and informed of what was going to happen. Jennifer Watkins is the be...st and the most HONEST attorney I have had in a long time in the Boulder area.

I was represented in the best possible way with the very best possible outcome!

Jennifer Watkins is a very experienced, well educated, compassionate, and skilled DUI lawyer. I was extremely fortunate to have her represent me. Never having had any interactions with the law before and having a pretty serious set of charges against me, Jennifer was able to create a case that allowe...d me to fully accept what I had done and to find a way to step forward into a new life after the accident. She really cares about her clients, she is worth every penny that she charges and I have recommended her to anyone I have heard was in need of a fantastic DUI lawyer. She is extremely through and competent in regards to her work, she is honest and trustworthy and that is something so special when dealing with the vulnerability and shame that can come from a situation like this. I will end by saying that I highly recommend her to anyone needing a great DUI lawyer! I can only imagine that all her clients feel very well taken care of, well informed, and talked straight to, she doesn't mess around. The fact that she is kind and empathetic is a real gift and makes the whole process that much easier to move through and have a successful outcome no matter what the circumstances.
