Posted by Lorena | January 20, 2016 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Terrible

When we first met with Battleborn Lawyers, Justin Watkins, his greeting was impressive. He sold himself to us. However, that was the first and last time we EVER seen him. My case took over 8 months and every time we used to call, we would get voicemails that we're never returned. The receptionist alw...ays asked who we were when we called and immediately put us on hold then came back on the phone and said they were in a meeting. That was the case 99 % of the time. We felt very blown off and our calls ignored. I HIGHLY recommend that you DO NOT hire these attorneys to help you because they will mislead you. They will make you feel important at first but then turn around and don't know who you are. You will never get the correct answer to your questions, and most importantly you will never get to talk to them period.

Attorney Review

Mr. Watkins is an excellent attorney who always puts the interests of his clients first. I have had Mr. Watkins work on several legal issues for and he has delivered outstanding results each and every time. You will not find a better lawyer to work with.

President & C.E.O.

Justin and his firm did an excellent job in assisting my firm in resolving a construction and contract dispute with a large developer which resulted in us being paid a large sum of money owed for professional services provided. The development was high-profile and had numerous issues that were not r...elated to my firm's services and Justin not only helped us get paid but kept us out of the many lawsuits associated with the project.

Responsive!

One of my biggest complaints I have had with my experiences working with attorney's, are that they are very slow to respond. Not so with Justin Watkins and his staff. Every time I have placed a call to his office, I can count on a response in a very timely fashion.

Posted by Ken | April 17, 2013

Trustworthy and Responsive

Justin was very helpful in guiding me through a small claims court issue as well as providing input on an issue with a state professional board. He was very straight forward about the implications of my cases and gave me all of the information needed in order to make educated decisions. His advice ...and efforts were crucial in my ability to achieve positive outcomes on all issues.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
