She is by far the most caring, dedicated, hard working attorney I have ever hired! Unfortunately, I have needed legal representation too many times in my life. I have hired 5 attorneys in my lifetime and Ms. Watkins takes the lead by miles when it comes to representation quality. Her attention to details, her willingness to fight for what you need and her unsurpassed skills in the courtroom make her stand out to me. Some attorneys will talk down to you and make you feel stupid just because your knowledge of how the courts and laws work are not as good as theirs. She never does this and helps you understand what you are facing and why. That is really nice when you understand what is happening when in front of the judge because I know it can be intimidating. Two times I hired Watkins Law Firm and both times, my outcome was far better than I ever hoped for!!! MUST HIRE JENNIFER WATKINS IF YOUR WANT THE BEST!!! Tim K. read more

Jennifer helped me through some very tough circumstances at a more than reasonable price. She's professional, intelligent, kind and well organized. This was the best experience I've ever had with an attorney, and unfortunately, it's not my first. With Jennifer I felt like a real priority and incredibly heard. She always returned my inquiries in a timely matter. She's more than an attorney, offering reassuring care, honesty and valuable consultation. I'd trust her with anything and everything. She also helped my wife through the process and offered a solid reference for a different family matter. If you're researching a few different attorneys (which you should) I highly recommend giving Jennifer a call and scheduling a consultation. read more

I saw all these great reviews online, called and spoke to a receptionist (name begins with J) about a speeding ticket, gave him all the information and was told I would get a call back. No call back. Called back 2 days later (only because of all the positive reviews)...2 more days later not even a courtesy callback. Stay away. read more

Case Dismissed! All Charges Dropped! The File will be Automatically Sealed! Those were the words I most wanted to hear in court, but that seemed impossible; that is, until I selected Jennifer Watkins to be my attorney. The icing on the cake was that I heard those words without the expense and stress of going to trial! I've had more experience than I ever wanted when it comes to needing an attorney, which means I've learned how to be a better judge when it comes to selecting one. Will Rogers once said, "Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment." I'm happy that the "school of hard knocks" gave me the good judgment to hire Jennifer. She had the exact skill set needed to pull off the impossible. Jennifer is "wicked smart," thoroughly understands Colorado DUI laws and, equally importantly, she knows the intricacies of the Boulder County Justice System. She knows the judges and the DAs - and they her. She knows how to navigate the complexities of the system and how to work with individual DAs to her client's best advantage. Jennifer listens with rare intensity. I felt heard, understood and accepted, without judgment. She took the time upfront to get to know me, my background and needs, answer my gazillion questions, patiently explain the process, clearly define my options - and then recommend a course of action. I felt that she always put my needs first, meaning I never felt pressured to go in any direction that I didn't want to go. Jennifer was very responsive, quickly getting back to me whenever I contacted her and regularly updating me whenever there were new developments. She helped me feel more in control of a process that can feel overwhelming and hopelessly complicated. She helped de-stress a very stressful experience. Like many, I felt embarrassed and ashamed that I'd put myself in a situation where I was even suspected of driving under the influence, but Jennifer's gentle and compassionate understanding helped me to quickly move past those feelings. Those are all wonderful qualities, right? But what really sets Jennifer apart from other attorneys with whom I've worked are her interpersonal skills and her emotional intelligence. She's intrinsically people-oriented, to the point of once studying to become a psychotherapist (long ago, in a galaxy far away). Wherever her interpersonal skills originated, I believe they were instrumental to the positive outcome she achieved in my case. What do I mean by that? A new DA was assigned to my case about the same time I hired Jennifer. He was young, inexperienced, and a total unknown to her, which she viewed as an opportunity, not a problem. She set out to get to know him, observe how he operated, figure out "what makes him tick." She soon realized he was in over his head, overwhelmed and stressed, so she started to help him out here and there, show him the ropes, make suggestions, earning his respect and trust in the process. It took eight months for my case to snake its way through the system, which gave Jennifer numerous opportunities to talk to him about my case. She kept letting him know, sometimes playfully, that he could never win if my case went to trial. Her goal was to get him to offer an acceptable plea that would have lesser consequences than would a DUI. Eventually she succeeded in that he DID offer an acceptable plea. I accepted and signed the agreement, but then when it came time to stand in front of the judge the DA surprised everyone by telling the judge that he'd changed his mind! The DA told the judge that my case was so weak that he didn't believe he could possibly win at trial (just as Jennifer repeatedly told him). He told the judge that just because he COULD get me to accept a plea didn't mean it was the "right thing" to do, given all the negative consequences I would have. So, the DA withdrew all charges, the case was dismissed and the file was automatically sealed - all without the expense and stress of going to trial! How do I explain the outcome? Jennifer helped the DA grow a conscience! Now, if THAT'S not a miracle, I don't know what is! She may not be able to perform a miracle for everyone, but she's the only attorney who ever performed one for me! I can't recommend Jennifer Watkins highly enough. read more

I was involved in a minor accident while driving under influence of alcohol. I was charged with three cases DUI, DUI per se and reckless driving originally. I approached Ms. Jennifer as my brother referred her. She listened to all the story and answered all my questions. Through out the whole period, she replied to all my emails and phone calls promptly. She is very much available and had lot of patience to answer all sorts of my questions. By following her instructions, we were able to win the DMV hearing which is our first win. Due to which I am able to drive the car with out any restrictions . I requested her to postpone my court hearings multiple times due to personal reasons and she helped me in all instances. She is very much supportive and understanding. Finally, She helped me dismiss all those cases and reduced it to the lowest possible charge which is DWAI.

She is very kind, helpful and an excellent human being. read more

Jennifer Watkins got my felony charges dropped! The results speak for themselves. I was charged with several crimes, the worst of which could have gotten me a prison sentence. When Jennifer called me after I filled out an online form seeking a consultation, she explained to me very clearly what I was looking facing. She explained my options to me, and told me that should I choose to retain her for my case, she would work hard to make sure we got the best outcome possible. She never pressured me to get her to represent me, rather she was just matter-of-fact and open about the alternatives - that was huge to me. We worked together and she got ALL of my charges dropped and the one remaining charge she got reduced to a MUCH lesser crime. Communication was excellent, and I always knew where I stood. She was patient, understanding, and kind in the way she led me to the solution to a scary situation in which I found myself. Enough can't be said about how important and rare these qualities are in an advocate, especially in a predicament like this. I can't say enough great things about Watkins Law Firm and Jennifer Watkins, Esquire. Retaining her was the best decision I could have made for my future. Do yourself a favor if you're facing criminal charges: Make the decision to retain Jennifer Watkins and the Watkins Law firm. You will not regret it. read more

I will admit, I was the first person in the room to roll my eyes when I heard the term, "Good Attorney." However, after working with Jennifer Watkins, my faith has been restored. I was charged with a DUI in July. I had received one 22 years ago, which seemed like an eternity, so thought it would not be a big deal. I was wrong. Colorado is a tough state and DUI's follow you through life. I interviewed few lawyers the week after my arrest, but felt but felt like I was being shoveled a pile of make believe. Other firms made false promises and wanted to charge me a fortune. I was a mess and contemplated the worst, I wanted to give up. That changed when I talked with Jennifer Watkins. She was the only one who didn't make false promises and offered me hope. She was professional, kind, and brilliant. She did all of the paperwork and prevented me from losing my driver's license and my sanity. Jennifer referred me to the best therapist and guided me through the entire legal process. I truly felt like she understood me and wasn't just my ally, she was my accomplice. I cannot recommend her enough. Jennifer knows the system backwards and forwards and will do all she can to obtain justice. I made a big mistake, and she didn't excuse me, but instead, helped me regain my self-esteem and become a better, humble person. Retaining Jennifer Watkins is one of the best things I have ever done. read more

On top of all that she is really genuinely good person and in my opinion one of the best in her field. I hope i dont have to go through this again but if I do I know where to go. read more

I would highly recommend Watkins Law Firm for your legal needs. Jennifer was by far the most professional and caring Attorney I have ever dealt with.

If you need representation, call Watkins Law Firm because you won't find a more trustworthy Attourney anywhere else!! read more

If you are facing legal action, I highly recommend Jennifer Watkins to be your attorney. I was recently charged with a traffic offense that could have potentially cost me my license.

She advised me on what I needed to provide her to get the best outcome and she did the rest. She adjusted the court day to my convenience and on that day reduced my license threatening charge to a 4 point ticket. This is a better outcome than I ever expected. Thanks to Jennifer, I was able to continue living my life in a normal manner despite the mistake I had made. I enjoyed worked with Jennifer throughout the entire process. She is a not only a exceptional attorney but a compassionate person. I would most definitely recommend her. read more

Jennifer helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life. I was scared, and unsure how to navigate the legal process to face the charges against me.

I recommend Jennifer to anyone who is in need of an attorney related to a DUI charge. She represented me in a recent case. Jennifer was compassionate towards my situation and treated me with respect.

In a recent legal situation I went through which was extremely traumatic to me, I was so fortunate to be referred to Jennifer Watkins. Jennifer is a true professional, clearly knows the legal system and has lots of experience in a variety of legal situations. She was able to help me successfully navigate what was an overwhelming and stressful legal situation. I also felt at the same time that she was extremely compassionate, caring and understanding. She cared about me as a person, asked how I was coping, what supports I had in place. I would completely recommend her to anyone, with confidence that she would help guide them in their legal situation. read more

I don't believe I've ever written a review before but I really felt compelled to after our experience with Jennifer. My college aged son(18) was visiting Boulder and got himself into an unusual DUI situation. We helped him look on-line for lawyers in Boulder and came across Watkins Law Firm as well as others. Since it was his problem to learn from, we had him take over from there. He chose Watkins to call. As we checked in with him, we were so impressed with how his lawyer helped him understand his situation and kept him completely informed along the way. Eventually we accompanied him to court and were able to meet his attorney, Jennifer Watkins. I can't believe how lucky we all were to have her represent him. She was truly on his side and understood what the consequence could mean for him if this didn't go well. She was positive and encouraging as well as a good teacher, not that it's her job. In court it was reassuring to see how she handled herself and to see that she had a good rapport with the District Attorney and Judge. In the end she was able to guide him into a much more positive outcome than a DUI. As the parent of someone in legal trouble, I can't say enough good things about Jennifer Watkin's Law Firm. I am grateful I can share our experience here and hope to find other sites people use to find a lawyer so those looking can hear what a great attorney she is. read more

An exceptional lawyer! Felt very comfortable with my case in her hands. Jennifer was resourceful and poignant through the whole process and really changed the outcome. She was very personable and easy to work with. Couldn't have found a better lawyer to work with, would highly recommend! read more

Darkness had fallen on my journey through life when I found I had two warrants for my arrest with a couple DUIs along with a probation violation and failure to appear in court. There was an irresistible temptation to avoid the situation as long as possible. Police knocked on my door as I locked myself in. When the anxiety of constantly ducking the cops became overwhelming, I decided to post bail and get it over with. "They'll understand. This probably happens all the time," I thought. At the hearing I was feeling optimistic until sitting down with the DA. Across the table was my bad karma personified as a woman with hair like Medusa and a thick black mark on her forehead that i couldn't stop staring at. Was she making a fashion statement or having a makeup crisis? Turns out it was just Ash Wednesday, but my stress induced hallucinations made it a bit terrifying. I realized there were some consequences to face and I had succumb to the idealism of my nature. In many words, she said I'd be going to jail for a year. My response did not surprise her. "Nope." I was willing to accept whatever penalty, but a year in jail was not an option. I needed to find an attorney. After doing some research online, Ms. Watkins looked like a great option. Once we spoke on the phone, I knew she was the one! Jennifer told me exactly what to do so she could get the best possible outcome. I felt instant relief with my legal situation in her hands. My knowledge of the system is very minimal, but I was blown away by how she skillfully managed my case. Also, she was able to recommend a better place for the DUI class that is not on the list the probation office gives out. At the hearing, with Jennifer in my corner, there was no worries. She worked out a deal with the DA before the hearing that was almost too good to believe. Not only did she reverse the impending doom of a jail cell, but she got a better sentence than I ever expected. The judge gave me nothing but some day reporting and i got to continue my probation like nothing ever happened. To my surprise, she went on and got the judge to lower my sentence even further with the possibility of early termination leaving all this craziness behind in a few months. Now, my only regret is not having Jennifer by my side from the beginning. Her expertise goes beyond just knowledge of the court system, as she has personal relationships with all the judges and the DAs in the area. It's as if they can't resist her charm and will go easy just because she is with you. Jennifer somehow, magically turned my life around and I wish there were better words to describe how amazing she is as a professional and a person. read more
