Exceptional service

Jennifer Watkins was an absolutely exceptional attorney for me. Not only was she able to get multiple charges dropped, she was a strong emotional support during an incredibly stressful journey as well. I highly recommend her services.

Great attorney

Jennifer took the time to make sure we understood the case and how she would handle everything. She kept us informed, and made us feel comfortable as the case proceeded.

Works Miracles

When I was charged with a repeat DUI offense, I was beside myself with shame and dread for my future. I knew I was probably toast, but also knew that I would need representation if I didn't want the entire book thrown at me. I contacted and spoke with several lawyers, but ultimately made my decisio...n to hire Jennifer Watkins before the end of our phone conversation. Aside from the details of my case, she took the time to get to know me as a person. Her human touch, combined with her knowledge of the law, went far toward putting me at ease about my situation. Our case wound up lasting nearly eight months. Throughout that time, Jennifer explained every step of the process in ways that I could understand and was quick to return my calls whenever I had any concerns. She advised me as to things I could do to help my case and to present myself to the court in the best light possible, and forced me to remain optimistic despite the long period of uncertainty. Towards the end, I was looking at mandatory jail time, although Jennifer had worked out as light a sentence as I could hope for. Then at sentencing, she was able to use some late mistakes made on the prosecution side to our advantage and managed to keep me out of jail altogether. I'm still amazed by that, and so thankful that I hired Jennifer Watkins as my attorney. I'm now able to move on with my life and free to live it. I don't plan on again getting into the sort of trouble that would require it, but would not hesitate to call on Jennifer Watkins for legal representation in the future. I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone who finds themselves in legal trouble.

Jennifer is the best attorney I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She kept me completely apprised of everything that was happening with my case along the way. She was completely prepared and had me completely prepared when we went to court. She is extremely intelligent and articulate. I like...d her from the first moment I spoke to her on the phone. I never had any doubts about her ability to help me out of the trouble I had gotten myself into. She presented all the supporting facts to the judge on my behalf in such a way that she was able to prevent me from going to jail. I will forever be indebted to her.

Excellent attorney! Would definitely recommend.

Jennifer got me the best plea I could ever hope for. Because of her arguments the judge cut my sentence in half allowing me to get back to my normal life in less then 2 weeks. She's always there to answer my calls and texts 24 hours a day and 7 day's a week. Best Lawyer I've ever had and I've had a... lot.
