Michael G. Watters

Mr. Watters answered my question about demurring vrs motion to dismiss in minutes and helped me move forward with confidence.

We hired Mr. Watters to help with an extremely complex child custody case. Mr. Watters helped us succeed in what was characterized as a virtually impossible case to win in the family courts. After that was completed, he went to great lengths to help us settle a secondary part of our situation out of court. Mr. Watters is the ultimate professional. Words cannot describe the level of respect and trust he earned from our family throughout our legal situation. Others have mentioned his wisdom in reviews and to be very blunt, it is spot on. Decades of experience, an abundance of resources, and a hard-working and dedicated group of professionals that support Mr. Watters were the ingredients for a successful outcome. When it comes to family law, whether in a trial setting, mediation, or communication with another party, Mr. Watters was quite frankly the best any potential client of his could ask for. And at the end of the day, Mr. Watters is a genuinely nice person outside of the field of law. Would highly recommend the services of Mr. Watters’ and his team.

Mike Watters is the best of the best. His knowledge is unparalleled. His confidence and poise is admirable. He is also backed by an amazing team of equal caliber. I would highly recommend him and have to many.

We first met Mike Watters over twelve years ago, when we needed to hire a lawyer to represent our "personal" interests in a "corporate" lawsuit. Throughout that first experience, we worked side by side with Mike and watched him work his magic in every situation. The case settled prior to going to court, and we will forever be grateful for the expertise and confidence Mike brought to the table. Without Mike's knowledge and active presence, we believe that the lawyer assigned to us by our insurance company would have failed and the case would not have settled out of court. The title of my review refers to Mike CARING about his clients. He truly listens to us and understands our fears and concerns when there is a lawsuit. We have worked with other lawyers who only seem to want to rack up lots of hours and don't have the time to really listen. I have called Mike for an emergency quick question and he got back to me right away, rather than having his assistant(s) take care of the question. We feel he personally cares about our well being, and that is a wonderful feeling to have when you're putting your trust into someone. There is NO other lawyer we have ever worked with in over thirty years in business that comes close to being the person Mike Watters is. Over those years, we have had other times we needed to hire Mike and his firm, and the results have always been well worth every penny spent. It is so amazing to work with someone so competent, so trustworthy, and so well respected in the law community. On a scale of 1 to 100 Mike Watters gets a solid 100 in our book!

Mr. Watters helped me in gaining 50/50 custody for my three children. He consistently looked out for my best interests and helped to make decisions that would not only work for me, but suited my family as well. He was involved every step of the way, and went out of his way to ensure that I was comfortable and confident with every choice made. He helped me to achieve all my goals and I appreciate all the effort and hard work that Mr. Watters and his staff put into my case. I would highly recommend him and his law firm for your family law needs.

Mike Watters and his entire staff are amazing. I can only express my utmost gratitude. Mike and his firm worked so hard and diligent to resolve a very complex trust/ real estate case for me and my family. First class all the way. I highly recommend Mike Watters, Diane Singleton, and Carol Novaro. If you want the best, go with this group!

Mr. Watters has decades of experience and success in the law. He listens and clearly evaluates the situation and pursues the agreed upon objectives with focus and energy. The other attorneys and support staff are diligent and available. He can unravel complicated issues and create an effective strategy.

Hired Mr. Watters to recover an outstanding invoice from contractor I could not collect. After he had successfully collected it ,the contractor said how relentless he was.My response was, that's why I hired him. Our family has since used him several times. All successfully.

Some years ago, I hired Mike Watters to represent me in a legal dispute involving another business. Mike and his colleagues were very clear and instructive during all aspects of the dispute. He counseled me on my alternatives, with both the pros and cons. Mike always maintained a positive, collaborative and upbeat attitude. During the deposition and the trial I felt like I was in good hands and was very happy to have Mike as my attorney. He was tough and aggressive with the opposition, which is what you want in a good litigator. He made the process of going through this dispute as positive and painless as one could hope. I would definitely hire Mike again if I ever needed a litigator again.

This review is a long time in coming. Mike Watters represented me in an arbitration of a dispute between the buyer & seller of a business I was involved in. His knowledge of my case and the law, as well as the preparation he and his team provided me was excellent. Mike’s handling of the deposition and questioning of the buyer was right on target. The strength of the deposition led to very favorable results. At all times, Mr. Watters was professional, respectful, appropriately forceful and on the mark with his statements and questions. I would certainly come back to Mike if the need arose.

Facing any sort of litigation is stressful, especially a divorce. Divorce is painful. It can be extremely ugly, nasty, and will bring out the worst in anyone. There are no winners in divorce and our children suffer the most. At my darkest moment, when the ex’s attorneys were literally bombarding me with motions, putting off paying support, doing everything possible to destroy my life and leave me with nothing, Mike Watters and his team stepped in, protected my custody, my future and ultimately settled my divorce case FAVORABLY, and my Marvin action as well. In a sense, I won, because if it were not for Mike Watters, my life would have been destroyed and for that, I am eternally grateful.

Mr. Watters was an exceptional lawyer at a time of great need in my life. His staff was incredibly communicative, diligent, dependable and always available when I needed them. My case was a unique one that took a fair amount of hand holding, but the team came thru with better results than I could have hoped for. Easily the best person for the job, worth every penny.

Mr. Watters negotiated a favorable outcome with a lessor who attempted to back out of the terms of a 5 year real property lease with my company (lessee).

Mr. Watters is a suburb attorney. He is well versed in family law. He sent case studies so I could understand possible outcomes which was helpful. I put an extreme amount of trust in him for the sake of my child and he didn't disappoint. I'm very grateful to have an intelligent and attentive attorney to represent me.

Mike Watters represented me through a very contentious real estate matter involving a home I purchased jointly. Not only did Mike provide me with excellent legal representation, he gave me the courage and support I needed to get through this very tough situation in my life. He listened to my concerns and passionately and effectively represented my views both in and out of the court room. I had complete confidence through the entire legal process and most importantly Mike surpassed my expectations of the results I anticipated. I would recommend Mike to anyone regarding any legal issue.
