My first DUI and last . I had a very high BAC . Jennifer helped me get minimum everything even waiving a court fee ! Not only that, but she was able to get me no jail time ! If you are looking for a lawyer that will work with you till the very end look no longer ! Jennifer is hands down the best lawyer I have ever met and had the honor to work with . Not only did She listen to every detail but was very understanding. Jennifer took the time to get to know me and my family and was very compassionate. She also guided me through the entire process even after court going into probation .Jennifer answered every question I had at any time she always got back to me .Me and my family will forever be grateful for everything she has done for us .

Jennifer represented me on my 2nd dui offense. From the start she was incredible! Always staying in contact and always studying and staying on top of her case. She really fights for you and it shows! The District Attorney was trying to say it was a 3rd offense and she stood her ground and made them understand what they would not be able to prove. Before I hired Jennifer the District Attorney was trying to make me do 180 days in jail. Because of Jennifer's help, I ended yo with just 10 days house arrest. She is great! the only advice I have is that you should hire her right away before you ever go to court, so that Jennifer will have your back and fight for you from from day one.

I hope you are reading this review out of curiosity, however, my prayers and hopes go for you if you are in a legal trouble. In the latter case, the reasons you HAVE to work with Mrs. Watkins are the followings: 1) she is exceptionally experienced on the criminal DUI process, 2) she is decently familiar-with and respected-by the judiciary system, 3) she is realistic and reasonable, and 4) she is great human being. Without any doubts, I nominate Mrs. Watkins as the best criminal defense lawyer in the Boulder county.

If you are interested in my story, here it goes.....I'm a 30yrs old working professional with doctorate-level education. I moved to Colorado last year and didn't know about the DWAI laws and ended up being arrested for DUI+Reckless driving...God I was scared, horrified and was feeling helpless at the time. The whole world was spinning in my head. Alot of questions...ruminations...anxiety. I remembered that I sent emails to 4 different lawyers the next day (it was a Saturday)...Jennifer was the first one who called me less than 1hr afterwards. I talked to her and based on her questions immediately felt like "she knows this process very well!". The impression that I never received from other lawyers that I talked to and/or met with. Fast forward, I met with her and shared my concerns regarding career, immigration, potential jail sentencing and etc. She was calm, respectful, nonjudgmental and empathic in regards. Based on her advise, I started Level II alcohol education class immediately and signed up for some volunteer works and MADD panel. It took 8weeks to appear before the judge with BAC of 0.07, however, we gathered and presented the documents regarding my attendances and my career. We plead quality on DWAI and reckless driving was dismissed. Unbelievably, my sentencing was lower that any minimums! No jail, no probation, no work release, no house arrest or etc. Just minimum fines and the finishing the level II classes with 24hr community service which already got credited from my volunteering. Takehome: There is a lot you can do before appearing in the court and Please do so! You wont' believe how impactful those can be...and It starts by calling Jennifer!

Ms. Watkins took on my drag racing ticket (a 12 point deduction from my license) that I received, and was able to save my license from being revoked. She told me to gather specific letters, take a certain driving class, and bargained with a tough city prosecutor to take an original plea deal (8 points taken away) down to a reduction of 5 points total. All of this was done professionally, organized, and without hesitation. I highly appreciate her, and would recommend Ms. Watkins to anyone needing her assistance in traffic-related incidents.

Ms. Watkins did an outstanding job representing my daughter in her DUI case. She stepped us though all the appropriate actions we needed to take to get as favorable an outcome at here trial. Jennifer was able to convince the judge to review all the documentation she submitted rather than just hand down the penalties based on the BA Level. This resulted in a greatly reduced sentence.

So I got a DUI and needed guidance. I called many attorneys and none of them seemed to interested in the details to help me. Jennifer went super deep in finding out all of the in's and out's of my case. She fought hard for me and really showed a passion and effort to help me the best she could. In return she got my case dismissed completely. I now travel the world and am living the life of my dreams and it would not have been possible without her hard work and dedication. She is professional and a bit of a spit fire! I highly recommend that you use Watkins Law Firm!!!! She is amazing!

If you are unlucky enough to be pulled over for driving while impaired then you will find yourself in a heap of trouble. It's expensive, time consuming, stressful, and you could lose your license. In my time of need I contacted Ms Watkins based on her online reviews. Was she exactly what the reviews said she was? 5-star? The greatest thing since F. Lee Bailey? Absolutely true. Such a wonderful person that cares about your situation and knows how the system works. For me I got the best possible outcome I could have hoped for and got the charges reduced. I learned 2 valuable lessons: don't drink and drive, but if you do and get caught contact Jennifer Watkins.

Jennifer represented me for my DUI case and went beyond all my expectations. She was always available for discussing my case and helped with each and every step of the process. I received the minimum sentences across the board. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who would like to be represented by the best DUI lawyer in Boulder.

Jennifer got me a plea deal that avoided jail time and a suspended license. She knows the court system and how to get things done. She's very kind and understanding. She helped me get through a tough situation and I couldn't have managed without her.

Jennifer was very kind, above all realistic, and supportive and handled my case with much care and dexterity. She avoided a DUI conviction by properly managing the facts of the case and expertly negotiating with the DA. She was sharp and outlined the steps I had to take clearly and communicated with me promptly throughout. I would highly recommend this DUI attorney.

I was arrested for my first DUI in early April, and my mind went to the worst possible places—potentially losing my job, my money, and the respect of my friends, family, and self. After calling my parents back in Illinois and letting them know about my arrest and opening up about my own alcohol problems, my dad encouraged me to research lawyers in the area to help with my case.

I called a couple lawyers for consultations the next day, and I wasn’t really sold on any of them. Having just been arrested and facing several thousand dollars in fines and possible jail time, I needed someone who was not only on my side, but someone who took the time to understand my situation and would be willing to help me through the long and difficult process of recovering from a DUI. I remember calling Jennifer Watkins in the car of my school parking lot to schedule a consultation, and I knew within our initial phone call that I wanted to hire her. She took time out of her busy schedule to talk to me for nearly an hour. She was caring and compassionate as she listened to me talk about my situation and my personal problems that led to the DUI in the first place. The other lawyers I talked to seemed to be more interested in winning another case, and while I’m sure Jennifer wanted to win for me too, the main thing that sold me on her was that she genuinely cared about my life and wanted to see me recover from this mistake.

I met with her the following week for a more official consultation and we ended up talking for a couple hours. Again, she was compassionate and understanding, but she did not sugar-coat my situation. I knew, because of my high BAC, that I was looking at high court fines, probation, a lot of community service, multiple hours of mandatory therapy, and potential jail time. I understood that, but she assured me that she’d do everything in her power to minimize my punishments. I hired her, trusting that she would be there for me every step of the way.

Fast forward a couple months later to my court hearing, and she helped me walk away with just the minimums, no jail time, and many of my fees waived (pending successful completion of probation). I’m very thankful for that, but what I really love about Jennifer is that she is always available via email for any questions I may have. Whether it's a serious question about my case or a trivial question about license reinstatement paperwork, she never fails to respond within 24 hours. If it weren’t for her, I would have crumbled underneath the added stress and anxiety that comes with a DUI, but she was able to help me maintain a level head the entire time.

Fast forward a couple months later to today, and I am happy to say that this experience has given me a much-needed wakeup call and has provided the opportunity for me to make some serious changes in my life. I have been alcohol-free since the arrest (almost five months now), I have grown closer with certain friends, co-workers, and family members who have supported me throughout the arrest, and I feel like a much stronger and more responsible person.

I owe much of that to Jennifer Watkins and her support throughout what has been one of the darkest points in my life. I would definitely hire her again, but I don’t plan on getting another DUI, so the best I can do is recommend her to anyone else who may find themselves in this situation in the future.

I had an absolutely FANTASTIC experience with Jennifer. From the first time we spoke I was taken completely aback by her incredible level of compassion, understanding, and level of expertise. It was like I was speaking with a very old friend, yet one with immensely powerful legal abilities that truly saved my butt in a very very scary and embarassing situation. She gave me an initial consultation that lasted for over an hour and a half - for free - where we spoke about everything from my charges, to life problems I had been having (for which she offered her own advice) ,to music! She took as much time as I needed, and then some, to truly help me understand what I was facing and what she could do for me. She made me feel that I truly had an ally in this seemingly hopeless situation.

From my experience, Jennifer is not in this line of work solely for the money, like many DUI lawyers. She is not only is an incredibly kind and compassionate soul, but also one BADASS lawyer who fought tirelessly for me every step of the way - and was always there to respond thoroughly to any questions I had any time of day.

The charges I was facing were very very scary after a horrible DUI incident, and she got my case reduced to literally the least amount of charges possible. I was facing a DUI, a careless driving charge, and the revocation of my license, and it got plead down to a DWAI, no careless driving charge, and the ability to keep my license.

I can honestly not say enough good things about this woman and the work that she does. She has been fighting hard for clients in these kinds of situations in the Boulder area for 18+ years, and she is a true expert in her field. If you are looking for an all-star lawyer who is also incredibly empathetic and passionate about her clients well-being, and one who will help you feel human in this very de-humanizing position, please do not hesitate to call her. If, God forbid, I was ever in this situation again, or know anyone who was, I would absolutely not hesitate to hire or reccomend Jennifer again. She is truly one of a kind and I am so grateful and lucky to have chosen her during one of my lowest and most desparate moments.

At the end of last year I got into a bit of trouble, this being my first time in the court systems it was confusing and a bit intimidating, but by a bit of luck I got in contact with Jennifer and made this nightmare a lot easier to deal with. She took away the stress of not knowing how to go about the court system and on top got me an amazing deal! 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.

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.

Hi everyone! So I had Jennifer Watkins represent me while I was facing my second DUI! She was absolutely amazing!! She was able to get me the lowest penalties possible and on top of all else, She helped postpone my sentence date twice. Just so I could make it to my brother's wedding which was the most important thing in my life! Since the very first day I called her she was nothing but helpful, sincere and truly cares about people and understands that mistakes happen! It was the first time ever I felt like someone actually cared about what happens to me and isn't there just for the paycheck! She is more than reasonable on her price for your second DUI when everyone else was a minimum of 5000! Long story short I wouldn't be able to write this right now if it wasn't for her and keeping me out of jail! I highly recommend her! Not only do you get a knowledgeable hard-working woman but she is also a friend you can count on! Good luck and with her your in good hands! Sincerely Matthew

Jennifer Watkins was an fantastic attorney. She was friendly, experienced and reliable with the intent to fight for you. She responded quick to any answers and knew what to do for the best possible outcome. Ultimately, Jennifer was able to talk and negotiate to the DA and got my case DISMISS!! Couldn't be more grateful for her expertise. Highly recommend for any services.

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.

Wow Jennifer is not only an amazing lawyer but an amazing person. She is very well connected in the legal community and has many years of experience. She knows what to do and say to help you get the best possible outcome! If I ever need legal help again Jennifer will be the first lawyer I go to. It would be a mistake not to hire her!

I found and decided on Jennifer after thoroughly looking at other attorneys for my case. I can honestly and gratefully say it was the best decision I could have made. Jennifer was totally helpful and knowledgeable, so much so that even before my sentencing I recommended her to a close friend in a similar situation. Jennifer's’ 18 years of experience truly showed in representing me and getting me the best possible outcome given my circumstances. If you are indecisive on a attorney give Jennifer Watkins a call, I’m sure you wont regret it.

Colorado Cop Sting

Ms. Watkins is amazing, I was arrested for a DUI, Driving Under Revocation, Leaving the Scene of an Accident/-Damage, Careless Driving, all dismissed. No jail, unsupervised probation, no community service, minimum fines, she convinced the DA he couldn't prove the cases and got the DUI and all those other charges dismissed. The DA did decide that he could prove Reckless Driving, so as part of my 6 months of probation I am not allowed to drive a vehicle. This could have ended up much worse. I can't say enough about Jennifer, she asked me at the beginning what I wanted as an outcome, I told her that I just wanted it all to go away. And she absolutely came through. If you're in trouble with the law you need her on your side.

Jennifer is by far the best person to have on your side if you are facing DUI charges. She's been doing it for 18 years, she's known around the court room, and she knows exactly what you need to do to get yourself in the best place possible for court. I made a huge mistake and was facing a 2nd DUI charge, and Jennifer was able to get me what I can only describe as the absolute best sentence possible. So please, do yourself a favor, and if you find yourself in trouble similar to mine, call her immediately and get started on the path to getting the best outcome possible.

Working with Jennifer was the best decision I made going into this process. She helped to ease, what was a difficult and trying time by treating me and my case with respect and understanding. Without Jennifer on my side I am certain I wouldn't have received the favorable outcome that I did with my DUI. If you are looking for someone who will treat you with empathy, be dependable, accountable, and work to get you the best possible outcome in your case then I strongly advice you to hire Jennifer.

As a recent graduate who got herself into a lot of trouble, I was panicked about what my future held. That was, until I met Jennifer Watkins. She was calm and assuring during the whole process of my case, as well as extremely reachable. Not only is she an amazing attorney, but her personability and charm is put to work for you, to aid in getting the best deal she can. A truly wonderful person, and attorney.

Jennifer Watkins is a highly experienced, reliable, and competent attorney. If you are looking for an attorney who is a true professional AND actually cares about you & your case, look no further. I am a highly skeptical person and turned away offers & opportunities to work with other attorneys whom I contacted during my search because after reading some reviews and speaking with them, a level of trust was notably absent. I must say that I was also skeptical of the reviews I had read regarding Jennifer, but after speaking on an initial consult I was impressed by how knowledgeable and genuine she was. Her level of direct, honest, and caring communication was nothing less than 100% consistent throughout the process. She took great care in making sure I understood everything that was happening, going to happen, and my available options & best strategies. If you think I'm making this attorney sound too good to be true - go ahead and call by bluff...by calling Jennifer. Jennifer, thank you!!!

After an accidental brush with a bicyclist in Boulder I found myself with a Hit and Run ticket that could be very serious. After speaking with other attorneys about the case, I knew the moment that I met Atty. Watkins, that she was the one! She has an incredible talent for feeling the anxiety of her clients, putting herself in their place, and being an excellent researcher into all aspects of the case. Atty. Watkins kept in close touch with me all through the process, and the frequent updates were very reassuring. I had a great court outcome, removing the DUI, and highly appreciate her both as a person and as a talented and very effective Attorney. I really recommend Atty. Watkins with 5 stars, and more if possible!

After moving to Colorado from Florida, I found myself in a bind when I was charged with a DUI of a high BAC (over .2). I had never been criminally charged before, and I didn't really know where to turn. As many of you reading these reviews did, I contacted 10+ attorneys that would represent me in Weld County. The majority of them seemed as if they were more interested in money rather than my individual case or well being.

It took one conversation with Jennifer to know that I was going to retain her as my representation. She was straight forward with what I could likely expect as the outcome of my case, and she was comforting every step of the way. It is quite apparent that she is well respected throughout the area by both judges and DAs.

After retaining her, she recommended a list of things to begin (character witness statements, Level II Alcohol Education, etc) that would help my appearance in front of the judge and to the DA.

Ultimately, Jennifer was able to negotiate a plea deal with the DA that would give me the minimum sentencing as required by law - despite him originally wanting me to spend a month in jail. The judge, with Jennifer's help, also suspended court fees and gave me the minimum requirements by Colorado law in terms of probation and useful public service.

I would highly recommend Jennifer for any situation that you may find yourself in that requires legal representation. While I don't ever expect to find myself needing it again, she will be the first and only attorney I will contact if I do.

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. It can be very difficult to trust legal counsel, especially when they are indirect Or even rude. Jennifer was able to quickly identify bad legal advise I had received from a previous attorney and outline the best legal path moving forward. If you need representation, call Watkins Law Firm because you won’t find a more trustworthy Attourney anywhere else!!

Jennifer is amazing! I found her when I was googling defense attorneys when I was pulled over for a DUI in October of 2019. From the very beginning she treated me like everything was going to be ok and provided an attitude that helped me cope with what I had done. Not only was she professional and able to provide answers for any questions or concerns I had, she was able to step up fight for me. I had requested a blood draw after blowing a .174 streetside and the BAC of my blood draw came back as a .203. She was able to get me a deal that didn't include jail time and has helped me begin to move forward and piece my life back together. If you are ever in a position that requires any legal assistance I would recommend Jennifer. Her kindness and professionalism are second to none and she will give you the best effort.

The fear and anxiety a parent feels when their child has made a poor decision and must now face serious consequences is overwhelming at best. I have to say that Jennifer was a godsend. She made all information easily accessible and really listened to us. She guided us to an early start toward court expectations and was able to offer several options. When it came time for the court date she stood strong for my son in negotiations. Thanks to Jennifer the entire event became a learning experience rather than a devastating life event. If you or a loved one finds yourself in need of representation I can’t stress enough that Jennifer Watkins is an excellent if not your best choice.

During a time when the Boulder Court was unusually busy, Jennifer Watkins made use of every moment possible to communicate with the three different D.A.'s assigned my case. I am incredibly grateful for Watkins's Law expediting the truth of my case, lifting some of the burden on the entire Court system. I highly recommend her service and sleep a little better at night knowing she's out there working so diligently!

Jennifer wasn't only a superb lawyer who worked diligently on my case but offered such compassion during a very difficult time in my life. I will always be thankful for the time she spent during our first meeting to get to know me. She helped me navigate the next steps in my case and handled all the complexities of the legal system. I by far received the best outcome for my case both in court and at the DMV. More importantly she provided me ideas for supports as I paused  to take care of my health. I now feel I am able to make better decisions and be better service to help others.

“Remember to pause but keep going; A semicolon is that reminder the author is you and the sentence is your life.”

Thank you Jennifer for your commitment  to your clients legally and personally as well as advocating for a more socially responsible system.

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. The very first time we talked, she immediately pointed me in the right direction and provided expert advice on what to do and the steps I needed to take. She supported me throughout the whole process and I cannot express how thankful I am for her guidance and the final outcome. Her many years of experience combined with her knowledge and professional rapport with the various entities involved proved key to reaching the most favorable outcome I could hope for. If you find yourself in a bit of trouble - do not hesitate to get Jennifer involved. She's the best. Thank you, Jennifer!

I discovered Ms. Watkins through AVVO, and I'm truly grateful that I was able to find her. Her firm responded immediately to my online inquiry, and Ms. Watkins promptly reached out to me by phone the next day. Right off the bat, Ms. Watkins was professional and empathetic when I described to her my DUI arrest. She had already provided useful guidance and support on my next steps before I even decided to work with her. Ultimately, I enjoyed my conversation with her and decided that she would be the best attorney for me. I'm happy to say that Ms. Watkins was a pleasure to work with during my whole ordeal. She was easy and reliable to communicate with while also providing advice that helped with my case before going to court. Her long-term connections with the court and extensive knowledge gave me assurance that she could help create the best outcome for me. I am more than satisfied with her results and would strongly recommend her to anyone facing a similar situation.

Jennifer is amazing! I have never been in any sort of legal situation and her guidance, confidence and support were beyond amazing. She is very responsive, committed and knowledgeable. Since I was not from Colorado, I wanted to hire a local lawyer and hiring Jennifer was not a mistake at all! I had complete confidence in her and her abilities. Her reputation in the legal community is such a positive thing that definitely helped my case a lot. I am forever grateful to her and will never forget her support!

If ever in need of a DUI lawyer you for sure have the right one here. Jennifer was able to get my charge lessened and able to convince the courts to agree with the minimal fines and penalties given to me. She knows her stuff and especially knows the Boulder County System. I very much admired how personanable she was and how she made me feel better about my situation. She is the caring type of person that I value in life and her knowledge of the DUI ways I am very grateful for. If you ever in this stupid DUI system this is the right lawyer to help!

Jennifer is the best, no other way to describe her services. She is professional, personable, and knowledgeable. Watkins Law Firm is my favorite law firm, hands down!!

Jennifer is a miracle worker. She negotiated my 2nd alcohol offense in 2 years with the DA. She successfully had it dropped to a DWAI and only court ordered minimums. She is professional, highly knowledgeable, and an excellent source of information. She is caring and great at responding to all correspondence. I highly recommend having her and the Watkins firm in your corner. Thank you for everything and for putting me at ease during this very stressful situation.

Jennifer helped me out so much! She worked tirelessly on my case up until the last second and was very helpful in providing me all the necessary and useful information that would help me in my case. She worked with me one on one to prepare me for everything that needed to be said/done and I felt she was on my side the entire time. All in all, working with her was a great experience and she helped me get an outcome in my case that we both didn't expect!

Choosing Jennifer was easily the best route I could have gone, she was extremely helpful and I am really satisfied with the outcome of everything. I chose her over about 3 other attorneys I had spoken with, and it was a great decision. I HIGHLY recommend her for anyone looking for an attorney. All of her reviews are 5 stars for a reason!

Simply and succinctly stated Jennifer Watkins is a better attorney than you could ever hope to have for representation. She is incredibly talented, tireless, and takes the time to understand one’s concerns about the case at hand. I worry without end when I am facing a docket date and she has been there for me explaining the law and offering an honest assessment of the possible outcomes. If I could pay Google for some more stars to give her a much deserved rating higher than 5/5 I happily would. Before consulting with any other attorney call Watkins Law Firm and only begrudgingly accept anyone less if there is a conflict of scheduling.

Jennifer Got all of my charges dropped completely, minus the small one that I did actually commit. The situation was not at all a bright or promising one, but with Jen. O man what a relief to have those false charges completely erased from my history. She truly does care and treats you as such. Compassion, integrity, intellect, and a Anti-Bullying mentality if you know what I mean. I hope I never have to use her again, but if I did or my buds do. We know where to go. Thanks Jen!

I received a traffic ticket that was probably justified. I needed someone to help try to get me a good plea bargain due to my current job and the importance of having a good record. Attorney Watkins said she could try. She did say that her costs were probably more than other lawyers that handle traffic violations, and said she could suggest someone who would cost less. I’m happy I decided to partner with Attorney Watkins, she was able to get my ticket reduced to an acceptable point level, convinced the judge to let me out of taking a driving course and got the fine reduced by 2/3rds. She was able to take care of the entire ordeal in 4 hours. I was very happy with her representation.

Jennifer assisted me with a case for a family member and I could not have been happier with the results. She kept me informed throughout the entire process.

If you want a true advocate who will consider the whole picture, rather than just the bare bones of your situation, you absolutely must pick Jennifer Watkins. Finding Jennifer has been a literal lifesaver. I believe her compassion is only surpassed by an expert and nuanced knowledge of law, as well as an intimate understanding of the system itself. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients to ensure the absolute best possible outcome. For me, she took a situation that I felt was too overwhelming to comprehend and turned it into something that is by far much less frightening and much more manageable than I ever thought possible. I personally could not recommend her enough.

Ms Watkins is the exact person you want in your corner when you find yourself needing a lawyer. From the get-go, she is very accessible, answering questions promptly and walking you through what you should expect from the process.
Her experience and focus also means that she has a great grasp on the relevant details and people you need to work with to get the best outcome possible.
I can't recommend her enough! Good Luck!

Ms. Watkins is not only a great lawyer, but a great person and you definitely get the feeling that it is not just the business, and she genuinely wants to help you. At the same time, she is very professional, and clearly informs you with the consequences of DUI and the charges that you are facing with. Then, she makes sure that you will possibly get the minimum based on your charges. She is accessible via phone and email almost anytime, and she is very patient and precise in answering all of your questions. She also proposed me to complete some of the sentencing requirements even before the court date, which definitely helped to mitigate the convictions. She knows the DA's and the judges, and you definitely get the impression that she is liked and well-respected by everyone in the court, which absolutely helps you. At the end, I was cleared of three charges, and I got the minimum possible conviction for my DUI charge. At the end of the court, she was genuinely happy with the outcome, and I cannot thank her more what she has done for me. She is just a great lawyer and person, and I feel lucky to have her, and also found the chance to meet her.

I had never had need for an attorney and randomly found Jennifer Watkins when I ended up in a situation where I was facing driving under the influence, leaving the scene, and careless driving charges. I've since come to believe that there was nothing random about finding Ms. Watkins. She immediately empathized with what had happened in my case and noted how other circumstances in my life contributed to my situation. Jennifer Watkins is sharp, focused, intelligent, compassionate, and articulate She went to my DMV hearing, which I assumed from all I had read was only a formality and would mean the loss of my license, and won the case. Throughout the eight months of this legal process, Ms. Watkins worked tirelessly to provide me with the best possible outcome. She listened to me and supported me in a way that made it possible for me to make changes in my life that have created health and safety in my world. I never felt like I was another case for her. She cares very deeply for the people she helps.

Close to my court date, the DA asked to meet with me to go over some lingering questions she had. Jennifer advised me on the pitfalls of doing that prior to my hearing, but after many discussions, we decided it felt right to do so. She asked me to tell my truth, which I did. At the close of that meeting, the DA let me know she would be filing a motion to dismiss all charges. She went on to note that the best thing I could have done was to hire Jennifer Watkins. She told me that she and her colleagues had discussed Ms. Watkins and the case and knew that if Ms.Watkins was pushing for dismissal, they needed to take a closer look at things. Her integrity has earned her the respect of the court system and the DA's office.

Not only did Jennifer Watkins work diligently and tirelessly to have my case dismissed, but she also took the time and effort to put what had happened into the context of my life and what I had been going through as a human being. Stumbling upon Ms.Watkins and hiring her changed the course of my life and the course of my family's life. She was a bright light in one of the darkest periods of my life. I'm eternally grateful.

I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for the Watkins Law Firm. Ms. Jennifer Watkins has been my son's attorney for the last several years and was successful in terminating his case. Having had the opportunity to work with many attorneys in Washington during my 30 year career in D.C. I would rank her in the top 5% of all attorneys I've known. She is consummate professional who is dedicated to her craft and her client. I found her to be direct, fair, compassionate and resourceful. Her rates are very reasonable.
My son advised me she was very responsive whenever he had questions or concerns about his case. She was prompt in returning his calls or emails. What impressed me the most was the respect she was shown by her peers in the legal system from both sides of the aisle

Fantastic Lawyer!!! Jennifer Watkins knew exactly what to do after hearing my story. I got the feeling that she understood my situation and that she knew the ins and outs of the process. I also got the feeling that she wouldn't nickel and dime me. She charged a flat fee and it was well worth it! I had rather serious charges and I believe Jennifer got me the best deal there was to get. No probation was just one of the best outcomes because of her work. I highly recommend her and if I ever need representation again I will be calling on her. Thank you Jennifer!!!

I've worked with Jennifer on multiple occasions over the last year and a half and she is by far the right choice if you need help with any legal infractions you may be accused of. She is extremely personable and knows her stuff. She has always been very effective in her representation of me in my cases and she takes the time and effort to deliver the best representation possible. I couldn't recommend a better lawyer in the Boulder/Denver metro area.

Ms. Watkins has to be the best I have ever seen when it comes to fighting for you and not backing down until you have the best possible outcome! She truly cares and obviously loves to help people- this makes her a seriously special attorney. I was facing jail and a long miserable future in the justice system and she saved me from that! She fought to keep me out of jail and at home with my family and she did it! If you are stuck and facing criminal charges please hire this woman, I promise you will not regret it.

It is hard to know where to begin when trying to put into words how incredible Jennifer Watkins is not only as an attorney but as a person. Jennifer goes above and beyond for all of her clients and their families. Jennifer represented my partner for a DUI case and was always quick to respond to any question or concern he or I had. But, rather than give a one word response and move on as most in her profession are want to do, Jennifer took the time to make sure that we understood the answer. Jennifer deeply cares about her clients and fiercely advocates for them inside and outside of the court. I am forever grateful for her service, kindness, and support. I highly recommend Jennifer Watkins.

If you only read the first sentence of this review, and I were to describe Jennifer Watkins work in one word it would be "effective"; however, I assure you that she deserves thousands more positive words. Recently I found myself facing a severe traffic charge that put my license in jeopardy. After many days of researching lawyers in the Denver area, I had found one lawyer whose reviews not only regarded her as highly intelligent, but as showing a genuine interest in getting to know her clients. I called Jennifer and was surprised when she personally picked up the phone. I discussed the details of my case with her and immediately knew my search was over. No longer did I feel like I was facing this terrifying charge alone, but was being expertly guided by a very knowledgeable friend. Jennifer told me exactly what I needed to do to receive an optimal outcome, which was not a whole lot, and she did the rest. Between the first day I contacted Jennifer and the day of court, she was responsive any time I reached out to her, constantly putting my mind at ease and answering any questions I had. Jennifer was able to schedule my court date at my convenience and when that day came her preparation and confidence helped me remain calm. She navigated the courtroom with expertise and turned my potential license suspension into a 4 point ticket with $100 fine. I owe Jennifer my sincere thanks for allowing me to maintain my life as I know it despite making a mistake. Not only did we achieve a better outcome than I ever anticipated, but I thoroughly enjoyed working with Jennifer throughout the entire process. Whatever charge you are facing you will be much better off facing it with Jennifer.

Jennifer Watkins was a huge resource to me from the very first time we spoke on the phone. Her knowledge and experience handling DUI cases specifically in Colorado became apparent immediately. As someone who had never had a DUI before, facing the increasingly severe court system seemed nearly impossible. However, Jennifer worked with me to navigate the legal landscape and guided me through the entire process. She made me feel like I was her only client in the way she handled my case with so much skill, care and attention to detail. She was always available to answer any questions I had before, during and even after my case. Jennifer made my situation less scary and overwhelming and successfully helped me achieve the best possible outcome in my case. I highly recommend attorney Jennifer Watkins.

Hiring Jennifer Watkins was one of the best decisions I made after I got my DUI. She has been working in the Boulder/surrounding areas for almost 20 years, and she knows all of the specific laws and about who works those districts. She is dedicated, hard-working, and dependable. She was always straight-forward with me, and her advice comes from years of experience. With her advice, I requested a DMV hearing and that the arresting officer be present. When the officer failed to show up, I wont that hearing automatically. That means I got to keep my license when I should have lost it. Then, when we got a DA who was trying to give me harsh penalties (30 days in jail), she postponed the court date, which eventually led to a new DA taking over my case. She pushed the new DA until he agreed to drop the charges of DUI to DWAI, and drop the charges of Reckless Driving to Weaving. This greatly reduced the amount of fine, alcohol classes, probation, and community service that I would be court mandated. Also, under her guidance, I was able to persuade the judge not to sentence me to jail. Lastly, getting the Reckless Driving bumped down to Weaving kept the amount of points on my license under 12, which means that I get to keep my license and the right to drive. She was able to save my license twice, keep me out of jail, and minimize the penalties that I was served. To anyone considering hiring her, I strongly recommend that you do, because not only will she fight for you, she is a genuinely good person who enjoys helping people who make a mistake.

Very compassionate and kind with lots of experience and skill to boot! We couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. OMG, no kidding! Because of her conviction to help others, she encouraged my son to work harder and do better for fear of disappointing her and of course me, his mother. We were not just numbers to her nor were we just some nameless source of caching! Ms. Watkins is your best friend when you've hit rock bottom, as my son felt. She doesn't only understand what you need legally, but what you need emotionally.

Making one mistake should not be the last and final determining factor for the rest of your life and she understands that. Work with her, do your job and she'll be there for you.

A lawyer who truly has your best interests at heart. Knowledge, experience, expertise in her area of law, and long standing relationships built on respect in the local court system, Jennifer Watkins brings all this when you hire her as an attorney. In my particular situation, she utilized all of these skills in order to get my case dismissed and award me the most just outcome possible. Even with all of that, what I was most impressed with was her genuine nature, authentic caring for her clients, and her ability to listen, reassure, and advise during the process. She takes the time to not only understand the aspects of your case, but also you as a person which I don't believe is common in law. I would highly recommend Ms. Watkins to anyone in need of a lawyer as she will work to get you the best possible outcome in court and be a trusted ally leading up to the trial.

When I first spoke with Jennifer, I pretty much immediately knew she was the one I wanted to hire. She was incredibly kind, concerned, knowledgeable, and above all, she was the only lawyer I had spoken to who brought me an actual sense of comfort and hope. Throughout the entire process Jennifer was extremely available, very realistic about what to expect, and relentless in her efforts on my case. I never had to hound her to follow up about something or wait for days to get a response. I never had to cross check information or feel that there was more that could be done. I was confident in every aspect throughout the entire process with her.

I was pulled over for driving aggressively. Ok, aggressively is an understatement. Jennifer helped get the charges reduced with minimal penalties, which was fantastic. She's very honest, and was able to help me calm down a bit too, which isn't easy. If I'm ever in need again (hope not) I'm calling her!

Darkness had fallen on my journey through life with two warrants for my arrest for 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.
