Hannah

Mr. Watkins was an AMAZING attorney, and went the extra mile for me when he easily could have chosen not to. He was willing to add a lot of work to his load in order to help me out, when he would be making the same amount either way. Very thorough and professional, I would HIGHLY recommend him for an...yone.

"I have known Mathew Watkins for several years and could not endorse him more highly. He is definitely one of the best trial lawyers in town. Not only is he highly intelligent, he is consistently diligent, detail-oriented, and well prepared. He also has a very appealing, earnest, down-to-earth court room presence that helps him connect with both judges and juries. I would recommend him to anyone without reservation."
