Mr. Watson was a very easy to work with on our child support case. We were out of state and needed somebody to represent us in court. Mr. Watson was superb at communicating to us what was happening in the case against DHR. He notified us with plenty of time to square away travel plans if we needed to be present in court on a specific date. He was very knowledgeable about the law and was always on top of our case. He made everything understandable to us that are not familiar with all of the legal jargon. I would positively recommend him to future clients and I would personally use him again if I ever need another lawyer (which I hope we do not).

We had an excellent experience with Jonathan Watson as our attorney. We were particularly pleased with the amount of empathy he expressed to our family during these troubling times. His knowledge of the law was outstanding and ultimately led to a favorable court decision. He was prompt, attentive and reasonably priced. We highly recommend him.

Jonathan Watson is one of the best attorneys I have had to represent me. His attention to detail, tenacity in determining the facts, and dedication is unmatched. He represented me in seeking custody for my young granddaughter after my daughter’s death. A challenge was made by the absent father and the ramifications of an unhealthy situation for my granddaughter should he have won was very trying for me emotionally. Mr. Watson skillfully and compassionately managed my emotional tangents and, in court, demonstrated a masterful presentation of the facts and exposed the true motives of the father. The outcome was I received full custody and shall be forever grateful for his representation. I highly recommend Mr. Watson and believe his approach to the attorney/client relationship is unmatched.

I hired Jonathan D. Watson to work my sale-for-division case, divorce case, & my fathers estate case. He won my sale-for-division case. He got everything I asked for in my divorce. Jonathan worked his butt off for me in the courtroom & out of the courtroom. I tell you, he is nothing to play with in that courtroom. If I was an attorney, I wouldn't EVER want to go up against him. He is currently working on my father's estate case. He stayed in constant contact with me to keep me informed on what he was doing on my cases. Jonathan & his staff are truly THE ABSOLUTE BEST. I recommend him to the world. He's so dedicated to each client. He's honest & he's gonna do everything in his power as your attorney to make sure you come out a winner with your case. His fees are so reasonable & very well worth it. I call Jonathan & his staff my Dream Team because that's truly what they are.

Jonathan Watson has guided my daughter through a very difficult divorce. His legal advice was expert and his compassion was comforting. During many years of legal battles in this matter, he has been accessible and eager to help her and his fees are reasonable and fair. I highly recommend Mr. Watson for all your legal matters.

We hired Mr. Watson for a termination of parental rights and then following that case we hired him for an adoption. We have been extremely pleased with Mr. Watson. He was at home in the courtroom and did a fantastic job representing us in both of our cases. He truly fought for us, but was honest/realistic in telling us what to expect. He seemed to work very well with our children's GAL and presented himself well in front of the judges in our respective cases. As someone who works around attorneys on a daily basis, my (and my spouse's) expectations from Mr. Watson were probably higher than the average client, however we were very pleased with him and if we ever had another issue arise where we needed an attorney, we would contact Mr. Watson again.
