I recently sought out the law services of Jennifer Watkins for a DUI I received. Hiring Jennifer was the best decision I could have ever made. She exceeded all of my expectations and went above and beyond for me. She is extremely personable, yet incredibly professional at the same time. She is also very knowledgeable, knowing exactly what steps to take to create a successful outcome. When I received the DUI, I was on probation from a previous incident, and I found out I was facing 2 years in jail. I had immense anxiety as I faced the uknown of my future. I decided to hire Jennifer on for this case as well.
Her years of legal experience, as well as her calm, soothing demeanor shown through, as she guided me through exactly what needed to be done in order to assure the best possible outcome. Her approach to law is straightforward, innovative and creative. Through her hard work and determination, she was able to get the DA to revoke the probation violation charges! Jennifer Watkins literally saved my life. For the DUI, she was able to get me the lowest charge possible, making me able to move forward with my life with expedience and ease.
I highly recommend the law services of Jennifer Watkins.

I am not the type of person that is very familiar with the law, mainly because I've never been in trouble prior to this, but Jennifer helped me through a very difficult situation more than I could have ever asked for. I was pulled over for swerving outside of Estes Park after hearing that my dad was in a terrible car accident and was hospitalized. I had no intention of driving that night. Needless to say my swerving on the road as a result of drinking was very obvious. This all happened only months after I lost my boyfriend from a heart-attack, the man I thought I was going to marry, the man that I had been dating for half of my life (I'm 23). I felt very hopeless and at a very low point in my life. Jennifer not only made me comfortable and much more ease with every step of the process of almost getting a DUI, but also got my charges dropped from a DUI - that I was positive there was no way out of - to all the minimums of a DWAI (with no fines aside from the court fees!). She was incredible. She saved me from something that I spent many sleepless nights worrying about. I could not thank her enough. She is a wonderful lawyer and even better at showing she truly cares. I could have not asked for a better outcome nor representative for myself in the courtroom.

I had the privilege of working with Jennifer in situations involving both my daughter and my nephew. In both instances they had made wrong and stupid decisions, but not decisions that at this age their lives should be ruined for making.
Jennifer understands young adults and was able to work with my kids, talk to them and use her skills in two ways; 1) to create a learning and life changing opportunity for them, and 2) to act as strong legal advocate and council in a way that minimized unnecessary long-term and damaging penalties.
It is rare to find someone who is skilled, knowledgeable and very competent in their profession, while at the same time caring, compassionate and committed to the person they are representing.
My experience with Jennifer was with two young adults. However, I believe Jennifer would use these same skills, her knowledge and success as an attorney and her strengths in professionally representing her clients at whatever age they needed her help.
While I hope I don't have to use Jennifer's services in the future, I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation or reservation.

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 the way 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.
