Great lawyer

In a very uncomfortable situation was always available and super helpful. Got me prepared for everything that would happen in court and was extremely proactive. Replied to any questions I had immediately and made a horrible experience bearable

Absolutely recommend for anyone facing a case in Boulder.

Jennifer Watkins went above and beyond for me in my case. She was attentive, respectful, on top of things in all aspects, and took the time to make sure I understood everything that was coming at me. I was not familiar with the legal system or anything around it, and she did an amazing job to clarify... what I had questions or was confused about. She always made time to communicate with me even when she was busy and that was vital. She also was transparent and didn't over promise, she managed to keep my expectations in check even though she far exceeded them in my case.

Jennifer is kind, patient, and an excellent communicator. She delivers results while keeping you completely in the loop about everything she is doing to assist you. I felt like I knew everything going on and everything to expect for my court date thanks to Jennifer's clear communication, and she got ...me the results I was wanting from my case.
