Couldn't have had a better lawyer by my side

Jennifer Watkins was absolutely incredible. The day after I was arrested I contacted Jennifer just to get some information on where to go from there and immediately I could tell that I was in good hands. Her calming personality and her years of knowledge on how to handle these cases really made me fe...el comfortable throughout the whole process. She was able to get the minimum sentence imposed as well as minimum fines which took a great weight off of my shoulders. As long as you do everything that she advises then your process will be a lot better than you first expect. Jennifer has helped many others that I have met throughout this process and across the board everyone that I have heard from has been very happy with the work she has done for them. I owe a lot to Jennifer and thanks to her I will be able to have my old life back within a short amount of time. If you're looking for someone that will be by your side through everything then Jennifer is the right choice!

Amazing lawyer

When I received a DUI, I was terrified of the prospect of going to court and what the outcome would be. Jennifer took all of the worry away. She understands the law, is respected by other attorneys, and guided me through every step of the process. As my lawyer, she was always easily reachable and was... the only person who calmed me down in my high moments of stress. We achieved the best possible outcome for the case and even were able to drop two of the charges! I could not be happier to have had Jennifer by my side.

Highly Recommend

i had gotten my second DUI and i was not sure what the outcome would be, i was very worried about what would happen. i contacted Jennifer and she Immediately let me know what i needed to do and was there for me for anything i needed. She is ver professional and hands down knows what she's is doing. i... was looking at 3 month in jail but she lowered it a lesser sentence and got me on all the minimum sentencing, i honestly don't know where i would have been without her.

Great Lawyer!!!

Fantastic Lawyer!!! Jennifer Watkins knew exactly what to do after hearing my story. I got the feeling that she understood my situation and that she knew the ins and outs of the process. I also got the feeling that she wouldn't nickel and dime me. She charged a flat fee and it was well worth it! I ha...d rather serious charges and I believe Jennifer got me the best deal there was to get. No probation was just one of the results of Jennifer's work. I highly recommend her and if I ever need representation again I will be calling on her. Thank you Jennifer!!!

Absolutely the best choice!

I have had the pleasure of working with Ms. Watkins on two occasions now. Both times I was absolutely amazed with her ability to work the DA and achieve an outcome that was to my benefit. She knows the "in's and out's" of the law world and uses her knowledge to the fullest to get the best possible ou...tcome she can for you. I would highly recommend her for your case criminal because she is a pleasure to work with, she won't make you feel like just another case, she will fight hard for you while considering your personal needs and she is well respected in the justice system. I would hire you again any day Ms. Watkins because you are the best attorney I have personally ever hired! Tim K.
