I had the pleasure of working with [Lawyer's Name] on a complex consumer law case, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. Watts and Herring exhibited exceptional professionalism, deep legal knowledge, and a genuine commitment to my case. They took the time to thoroughly explain the legal process, potential outcomes, and strategies in a way that was easy to understand, making me feel confident and well-informed throughout the proceedings. Their attention to detail and meticulous preparation were evident in every aspect of the case. Blaine was always available to answer my questions and provided timely updates, ensuring I was never left in the dark. They demonstrated a remarkable ability to navigate the complexities of consumer law, and their strategic approach was instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome for me.

I had a debt collector threaten to sue me for an unrecognized debt. Not being a lawyer, I was understandably terrified of the prospect. I'd seen a YouTube video from Watts and Herring discussing this very issue and decided to contact them directly. They reassured me that this was their expertise. A few weeks later, everything came back resolved. I don't owe anything!! It's an amazing feeling.

Very personable. Received a phone call from John Watts personally, sweet caring guy and will get the job done. When I received the letter of being sued I felt miserable. Now that this process is over, it feels like a ton of bricks have be removed.

I would definitely recommend that you go to John Watts for issues pertaining to collections. Getting sued is stressful, but once you hire him you know that he is going to get it taken care of. It makes it a lot easier! He also got the case settled in no time. I had a favorable outcome and 99% less stress than before contacting him. He is also very nice and fair in payment.

I was a client of Watts and Herring and John Watts handled my debt buyer case to the end with wonderful results. I was free of the worry and trusted this firm to take care of business. They did just that. I would surely use them again if such an issue arise the the future. FP

They won my case for me and the process took about 1 year from beginning to the end. Afterwards, decided to sue the credit company because there's still wrong information. Sending letter back and forth to get it cleared up took maybe another year So now, we're waiting on the contract to be sent to pursue suing the credit company. We were contacted about this stage around June 2025 it's now January 2026 and we still do not have any contract.
