Wonderful

Jennifer was extremely kind to me throughout this process and helped me get the best outcome possible. I am thankful I had her by my side! Cannot recommend Jennifer enough.

2nd DUI

Hi everyone! So I had Jennifer Watkins represent me while I was facing my second DUI! She was absolutely amazing!! She was able to get me the lowest penalties possible and on top of all else, She helped postpone my sentence date twice. Just so I could make it to my brother's wedding which was the mos...t important thing in my life! Since the very first day I called her she was nothing but helpful, sincere and truly cares about people and understands that mistakes happen! It was the first time ever I felt like someone actually cared about what happens to me and isn't there just for the paycheck! She is more than reasonable on her price for your second DUI when everyone else was a minimum of 5000! Long story short I wouldn't be able to write this right now if it wasn't for her and keeping me out of jail! I highly recommend her! Not only do you get a knowledgeable hard-working woman but she is also a friend you can count on! Good luck and with her your in good hands! Sincerely Matthew

I cannot thank Jennifer enough

It is never good timing for what happened, however I was in the process of moving and Jennifer did everything she said she could and more. She was able to get the deal that I needed in order to continue my life as normal as possible. She walked me thru what I should and should not do which was huge... as I was absolutely clueless. She was able to plea bargain so that I kept my license and was able to relocate on schedule by going to court for me. She was very professional and yet approachable throughout the process. I feel very blessed to have found Jennifer and I cannot thank her enough.

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.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
