Watts and Herring are fantastic. Their staff is friendly and very easy to work with. They helped walk me through all of my options when a debt collector attempted to sue me. I was very anxious as I'd never been sued and had no idea how to proceed. When I hired John for the case, he worked hard to keep me in the loop, to make certain I knew all of my options with the debt collector and that I was included on all relevant motions. I have to say that having John and his team at my back made me feel a hundred times better. At the end, we were able to win our case and all of the stress has melted away.

John and his staff have been extremely helpful throughout my situation. I received a complaint from small claims court where a creditor was attempting to collect an old debt. I didn't know much about the process necessary to properly handle the complaint and I wasn't sure what my options or rights were in this matter. I started researching these concerns and I came across some videos that John had put together on his website explaining exactly what I wanted to know. I reached out to John so that I could ask further questions and get advice specific to my situation. We spoke for a while and he was very patient on the phone and answered every question I had. He genuinely cared about my situation and offered advice that let me know he was extremely knowledgeable about consumer protection law. John represented me and handled everything like a professional. John and his entire staff are quick and responsive to every communication whether it's from me, the courts or the opposing counsel. The matter in question was handled to my satisfaction and I wouldn't hesitate to have John represent me again in any matter pertaining to consumer protection.

I had been sued by a collection agency over a debt that was not mine and totally unexplained. As a person with limited means I started looking to the internet for information and came across Watts and Herring Consumer Protection, LLC. I started reading their VAST knowledge base about consumer protection, and more over my rights as a consumer. There are documents that will assist you through this process. I was shocked a business released so much information. As I learned about the SMALL CLAIM COURT PROCESS and the valuable tools I had in my hand I decided to fight my own case in the Small Claim Court that had been filed against me. As I was told in the documents; Small Claims Court was just as I had read. A room full of collection attorneys PREYING on people that had no idea and was agreeing to things they had no idea they even owed. NOT ME, I asked questions and within five minutes I WON MY CASE. Months had went by and my credit report did not reflect the win. After two to three attempts and certified letters I made the call to John Watts and his team. They review my case and on my behalf filed a Federal Law Suit. This case has been settled and I am grateful for Watts and Herring for their assistance. All of the Staff at the firm were knowledgeable and very helpful. I recommend Watts and Herring for and Consumer related issues.

I must say that working with John Watts and his colleagues has been a blessing in a difficult situation. When I was named in a lawsuit as a cosigner for a debt, John took the time and put in the hours to settle the case for less than 50 cents on the dollar - which, by the way, was more than fair concerning the circumstances of this particular case. I highly recommend Watts & Herring, LLC for anyone who has a consumer law issue they need to resolve. John was VERY knowledgeable of the applicable law, and truly set my mind at ease during numerous phone calls. THANKS JOHN!

Watts and Herring, LLC is an outstanding law firm. They have represented me in several cases and won every one of them. John and his staff are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate. John explains the process clearly and ensures his clients completely understand. He is genuinely concern about the best interest of his clients. Also, John and his staff go " above and beyond" the call of duty to provide exceptional services. After a case has been resolved, he continues to communicate with his clients and provides additional assistance if needed. This law firm has been truly a blessing to me. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for this law firm. I am so very thankful. I refuse to hire another law firm to represent me. I highly recommend Watts and Herring, LLC. This law firm is the BEST!!!!!

Great service! They gave me all my options in a clear and understanding matter. When it came down to it these guys took care of business. I highly recommend.

Dealing with Debt is hard especially when you find out someone is suing you. I happened on John Watts's website by happenstance and sent an email requesting help. John responded almost immediately. He was personable, calming and helpful in his response. Both he and Carolyn (John's legal assistant) were extremely nice and I have valued the advice they have given me. THANK YOU John for everything.

A couple of years ago my husband was served papers that he was being sued by an "infamous" debt collector. We were so upset and didn't know where to turn. We had only 14 days to file an answer to the complaint or the plaintiff would get a default judgment. I started searching on the web of how to answer the complaint, but had no idea how we were going to fight this! I didn't know where to even begin! Then, I came across Watts & Herring, Consumer Protection Attorneys website and blog and started reading and watching videos that John Watts had posted. I started feeling much more at ease and decided we would try to fight this. Well, before I had even submitted an answer to the complaint, a process server came again and my husband was being sued for a SECOND lawsuit by the SAME "infamous" DEBT COLLECTOR!! Now we had TWO answers to file. I felt a bit overwhelmed, but felt like I could tackle this. We WERE NOT going to let them win by a default judgment! I turned in the answers and got notice of court dates. The court dates were exactly a week apart! I did a lot of research and felt VERY confident on our day in court. I did have some concerns in facing a judge and not knowing what questions may be asked by the plaintiff. However, I came prepared to court, and after speaking with the attorney for the plaintiff for awhile and questioning everything that was his "evidence", he caved. We WON lawsuit number one! The very next week we went to court for the second lawsuit, very confidently, with our heads held high, and lo and behold...the same attorney was representing the plaintiff! Again, he caved. So, WE WON AGAIN!! We had been sued TWICE by the same "infamous" debt collector and BEAT THEM both times! Well, I had sent an email to John Watts of Watts & Herring to let him know about our success and to thank him for all of the wonderful information on his website. He congratulated us and suggested we sue the debt collector back in Federal Court. WOW! I had no idea that was an option! Even though we succeeded in our county small claims court twice on our own, I knew we would need the expertise of John Watts for the Federal Lawsuits; there's no way we could do that on our own. John explained our options and was very attentive with any of our concerns. He represented us in filing TWO Federal Court Cases against the debt collector that had no right to sue us. The process went very smoothly for us. John or the knowledgeable staff at Watts & Herring kept us updated regularly throughout the whole process of any kind of progress being made on the lawsuits, and that put my mind at ease instead of worrying and feeling overwhelmed. Both Federal Court Cases resulted in settlements that we were very pleased with. We could not have been any happier. We truly would like to thank John Watts and the staff of Watts & Herring! We could not have fought those battles alone! So, for any of you reading this, if you're sued by a debt collector, I highly recommend Watts & Herring! Be SURE to answer any lawsuit within the deadline and do not let them win a default judgement! Try not to be overwhelmed, intimidated, or let it stress you out or give you anxiety. Seek the advice of Watts & Herring. They are very friendly and knowledgable folks and can explain your options. I know you will be pleased!

John and his team saved our house from an unfair mortgage servicer that was not playing by the rules.. highly recommend them!

My employer was served with a large garnishment in which they had no choice to start deducting from my paycheck. The problem is that I was unaware of the debt and had never received notice. I was in complete panic and rightfully so as I was getting 25% of my paycheck deducted for a debt that I was unaware of. I was referred to John from 2 different attorneys and I can honestly say I could not have been more pleased with the referral. To make a long story short John fought hard for me and my case. He kept me updated and he kept me calm. The best part is that he believed me and my story. I know its easy for people to think you are running away from your debt but John never doubted what I was telling him. It took a few months but he fought hard and I received ALL of the money that was garnished along with the company dropped the case and the judgement. I would highly recommend John and his staff. I will be forever grateful for John working so hard on my case.

I will never forget the fear that I felt when a collection agency was threatening to sue me with harassing letters and phone calls. I will aslo never forget the relief I felt the day that I walked into the office of Watts and Herring and spoke with John Watts. I have never felt so relieved in my life. The first time I sat down to speak with him, I felt like he was an old friend. I walked into his office hoping for answers to get the bad guys to stop harassing me. Not only did Watts and Herring get the bad guys off my back, all communication from them ceased immediately, AND I ended up suing THEM for violation of the FDCPA . It really felt great to turn things around on them. Lately, with all of the scams going around, I have received threatening phone calls from phony debt collectors. All I had to do was send an email to Watts and Herring and they answered me immediately to assure me that the phone calls were from scammers. I felt that same feeling of relief as when I spoke with them for the first time. If I ever have questions, I know that my old friend is only an email away. So, if you are experiencing similiar issues, I would highly recommend a phone call to Watts and Herring. They will fight for you; take care of those bad guys; and turn your feeling of fear into a feeling of relief.
