I can’t say enough good things!

Julie Watson is an amazing attorney. She is intelligent, knowledgeable, reliable and caring. Filing bankruptcy was not an easy decision but with Julie by my side the process went smoothly. I highly recommend Julie Watson!

Review

We found our attorney in the phone book. We went in for a consultation. After talking we decided to hire her. We paid the first payment to retain her. We made payments with know pressure. We Our Attorney made sure we understood everything step by step. She made sure we had everything in order for o...ur case. We felt comfortable the entire time. We went to court and our case was settled with know problem.

Review

Julie went above what I thought a Bankruptcy lawyer was suppose to do for a client. She went to my Wife in the nursing home to do paperwork needed for me so my transition was smooth after my wife passed. The Quality and personal attention given to me and my wife was well above all my expectations. I... highly recommend Julie to represent anyone for their needs.

Ms. Watson diligently and successfully filed my bankruptcy which was recently discharged through the court.

Julie Watson is a hard-working and hands-on attorney. In my search for a bankruptcy attorney I called some of the repetitively televised large firms that claim to serve numerous areas. I planned to be very selective so I went to one firm's office without an appointment and found it totally empty. I m...ade various calls to bankruptcy attorneys from the yellow pages. One recipient was Julie Watson. I immediately liked her over the phone and I did not have to go through a paralegal or answer a bunch of questions to get through to talk to a lawyer as other firms required me to do. I was impressed that Julie Watson was able to make an appointment for me that very same day. Bankruptcy is often an unfamiliar subject that most people in financial trouble wonder or worry about. Julie Watson put me at ease by conveying her thoroughness and knowledge about the processes involved and what my participation would entail. I was relieved that she took me on as a client. Julie Watson's fee was less than the televised firms, and she worked with me on my financial hardships. I am disabled and through Julie's resourcefullness I was actually enabled to acquire funds that I was unaware that I had. I had numerous debts to deal with and the bankruptcy went through flawlessly. One of my siblings asked what lawyer I got and he said "Wow, some years ago Watson represented me and I won. She's a great lawyer." I feel very secure and relieved that Julie Watson represents me as my bankruptcy attorney. I beleive Julie Watson is thoughtful, resourceful, clearly knowledgeable, detailed, accommodating, upstanding and accomplishing. I have dealt with numerous attorneys and none of them come close to Julie Waton's professionalism.
