I found Dean to be very knowledgable and professional. My daughter was in jail and he went out of his way to get the best deal for her and kept us in the loop. He was very responsive to any questions and return phone calls. My husband is an attorney and for him to say he was very impressed is worth more than a 5 star review!

I was a board certified trial attorney and was listed numerous times by super Lawyers. Mr. Watts was retained to represent our daughter in a criminal matter. He acted with the utmost of professionalism, diligence, and compassion. He was extremely responsive to our communications and resolved the problem exactly has he suggested he could be able to do so. I found Mr. Watts to be, extremely trustworthy and competent. I would highly recommend him for anyone who needs his services.

Dean Watts is hands down my go to lawyer. He is professional, affordable, awesome at his job, and he knows the law. If you are looking for a lawyer that you can trust and will give 100% every time with each client no matter the case, Dean is the lawyer you want to hire. I’ve know Dean for 24 years and he has never steered me wrong or went back on his word. He is a honest and genuine man that cares about his clients NOT their money.

Originally, I found Dean Watts through FindLaw, and I couldn't be more pleased. I was initially terrified at the idea of actually needing a lawyer to help me through a case, but he did such a stand-up job. He treated me very politely and broke things down for me so that I could grasp all the legal stuff better. I'm truly grateful for the services he provides, and you will be, too, should you have him represent you!

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.
