I hired Brian Watkins to represent my brother in a very serious criminal defense case, and I truly can’t thank him enough. From the beginning, Brian was professional and incredibly knowledgeable. He showed real compassion throughout the process and gave my family and me a sense of calm during an extremely stressful and uncertain time. Thanks to his expertise, he was able to achieve a much better outcome than we ever expected. What could have been a devastating situation turned into something far more manageable, and my brother will be home in just a few months! If you’re looking for a defense attorney who not only knows the law but also genuinely cares, I highly recommend Brian Watkins. He’s extremely intelligent when it comes to understanding the law and finding strategic ways to navigate tough situations, all while being highly respected in the courtroom. With Brian on your side, no doubt you’re in the best hands possible.

I can’t recommend him highly enough! Hire him in an instant if you need legal counsel! Don’t settle for the rest, hire the best: Brian Watkins

Mr. Brian E. Watkins has been my family's attorney for over 20 years, consistently demonstrating exceptional intelligence, deep legal knowledge, professionalism, and compassion across more than 10 cases. These have ranged from minor misdemeanors to serious felony charges, including DUI, fraud, and assault. In every instance, Mr. Watkins has significantly mitigated the original charges, securing remarkable outcomes. For instance, he managed to have a felony charge against my brother dismissed, which initially carried a potential sentence of over 20 years. Another misdemeanor fraud case was resolved without jail time, only requiring restitution. My DUI was reduced to a wet reckless charge, which was the best possible outcome. In my personal case of felony assault, facing another 20+ years, Mr. Watkins negotiated no jail time, just three years of probation and a year of educational classes. Additionally, after my father's car accident, Mr. Watkins secured a settlement ten times greater than the initial insurance offer. Whenever trouble arises, I am confident and reassured when Brian E. Watkins represents me, knowing I am in the hands of one of the best attorneys available. If you're considering him for legal representation, rest assured, you'll be in excellent hands.

I contacted the office of Brian E Watkins for two weeks and didn’t receive a call back. I believe the receptions was more embarrassed every time I called due to him not contacting me. Add states 26 years of experience, with that much experience I would expect at least a courtesy call. I decided to find someone else.
Owner response
We returned your call several times but your voicemail was full and we were unable to leave a message.

I referred my brother to him for my nephew who was 16 and heading down the wrong path facing lots of prison time. Brian's first move was to see if he needed any counseling. He did. Today, he is the most productive young man you could imagine at the age of 20. He is preparing to go into the military and his #1 goal is to win souls for the lord. Brian gave him a chance to be free and not in a box. You get what you pay for.

My husband was facing 50 years for first degree. Thanks to Brian Watkins and his perpetual endeavors, my husband’s sentence was significantly reduced to 6 years. Hiring Brian was the best decision that I made, with the help of God he completely changed the course of a bad situation. He was extremely helpful throughout the entire court process beginning to end, if my family and I had a question he always made sure to explain it in a way that we would all understand. Though I hope to never be in such a position again, if I ever required an attorney again my first choice would be Brian Watkins.
