Attorney Information
Overview
I firmly believe in the maxim "the customer is king." It is this belief that allowed my partner, Jim Watson, and I to grow our real estate title business to twelve offices in two states with more than 100 employees before selling that business to a Fortune 500 company.
Our dedicated and hard working employees fuel our success. In 2007, Jim and I decided to expand our law practice and we reached out to some of our former employees to invite them to join us. We knew these individuals shared our commitment to a strong attorney-client relationship.
The practice of law is a profession and we absolutely understand that. We also understand it is a business, too. Our clients need to feel cared for and to have a special connection with our attorneys and staff. We are in the people business. From employees to clients, it is all about people. I truly believe if you take care of people, they will take care of you.
Ultimately, my desire is when a friend or neighbor asks a client of ours if they would recommend Foreman Watson Holtrey, LLP for their legal needs, they would respond, "Absolutely, Foreman Watson Holtrey, LLP worked hard for me and treated me like a king."

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
