If You Need a Lawyer, Jennifer Watkins is the One You Want If you’re dealing with a DUI, DWAI, or any criminal charge, stop stressing and call Jennifer Watkins at Watkins LawFirm LLC. I can’t say enough about how much she helped me through a tough situation. She knows her stuff inside and out, doesn’t waste time, and actually cares about getting you the best outcome possible. From the start, she kept it real—explained everything in a way that actually made sense, laid out exactly what I needed to do, and never left me feeling lost. She answered all my questions, broke down the legal jargon, and gave me a clear checklist of what I had to take care of to help my case. I never felt like things were changing last minute or like I was just along for the ride. Instead, she made sure I had a say in the process and could show the court that I was taking things seriously. The outcome? Way better than I expected. She got my charge reduced from a DUI with refusal to a DWAI—no jail time, and instead of losing my license for a year, I got it back in just 60 days. On top of that, she even gave me advice on how to handle my situation moving forward, especially when it comes to work and traveling between the U.S. and Canada. In court, Jennifer was 100% in control. She carried herself with confidence and authority—it was clear the judge respected her. She never let me feel like I was facing this alone and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. Before we walked in, she reassured me, and when we walked out, she made sure I understood everything that happened. She was prepared, sharp, and read the room perfectly. If you’re in a tough spot, don’t wait—call Jennifer. She’s not just a lawyer; she’s someone who actually fights for you and knows how to get results. I’d recommend her to anyone dealing with a DUI, DWAI, or any criminal case.

Confident, competent, knowledgeable, kind, effective, and funny! The word in the title are but a few of the ways I would describe Jennifer Watkins. She is not only an amazing lawyer but also an amazing person. If you do the work to keep your nose clean she will do the rest. I am still in awe at the outcome of my case. I was facing some very serious charges and not only did Jennifer get the best possible outcome but she also made me feel safe and valued as a person. Her in depth knowledge of not only the law but also of the demeanor of the judges and DA's makes her a highly effective legal representative. I had other attorneys turn me down due to their lack of confidence in being able to represent me. Jennifer stepped up with a calming confidence that made me feel safe and seen. And not for nothing she got me the absolute best possible plea and at 20% the cost. Her rates are more than reasonable and you can tell that she is not just in it for the money but in it for her clients. She truly cares and is willing to go above and beyond and the proof is in the pudding. She got half my charges dismissed and the other half deferred. I could not have hoped for a better outcome and I am deeply grateful that our paths have crossed.

Biography

Ms Watkins has been litigating criminal defense cases since 2001. She graduated from the University of Denver College of Law in 1999 and subsequently began her career in criminal defense at the Colorado State Public Defender’s Office where she effectively handled more than two hundred and fifty criminal cases at a time on a regular basis. For most of her career, Jennifer has been in private practice, where she is able to dedicate the necessary time, resources and attention to detail to give each client’s case the scrutiny, insight, analysis and zealous advocacy that is often crucial to understanding the uniqueness of each situation and case and litigating with a triumphant outcome. Jennifer has successfully handled a myriad of cases, with particular focus on misdemeanors and felonies involving allegations of assault, domestic abuse, weapons, theft, drug charges and DUI and DUID. Jennifer has an extraordinary ability to unravel cases from many perspectives, to unearth errors and omissions in the prosecution’s case, and to effectively convey the perspective of the accused to prosecutors, judges, and juries.
