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.

I had a great experience with jenifer.She was very professional and courteous. She was able to get me my charges dropped down to the lowest penalties possible. I definitely recommend hiring her.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

Very caring and an amazing lawyer. Helps you get the chance you need to keep your life going.
