Success Stories

“I was WRONGFULLY ACCUSED in three cases of online solicitation of a minor under 14 years old. Kyle got the District Attorney to dismiss all three cases. I’ve never been in trouble before, and this was terrifying. Thank you Kyle for saving my life and giving me a fresh start. ”

“Kyle is extremely professional and readily available to assist you when needed. I am from out of town but never had to make a court appearance as Kyle was able to do every thing for me. I am beyond happy with the outcome of my case and the way he routinely updated me from start to finish. I’ll be hiring Kyle again for the expunction of my record.”

“The police arrested me for DWI with a Child. After I got to jail, I learned that in Texas this is a Felony, even though I’d never been in trouble for anything in my life and this was my first charge ever. Kyle went through everything on my case, he found a problem with the case, and then he got the Judge to dismiss it! Kyle did a great job on my case. I would recommend Kyle to anyone that needs to make sure their case is handled thoroughly and professionally. ”

“Kyle Watkins got my Felony dismissed.  DISMISSED.  It looked like the DAs were going to let me have it, until Kyle got involved and shut the whole thing down.  I cannot tell you how glad I am that Kyle Watkins was my lawyer. ”

“Before landing with the Law Office of Kyle Watkins, I talked to lots of lawyers.  Most of them seemed like good enough guys, but I just didn’t know who I could really trust.  I couldn’t decide on a lawyer, and things looked to be getting worse.  My employer was upset about some money.  Lots of money, as in thousands.  I contacted Kyle and the guy was all over it.  He got right into the middle of the investigation and put a lid on the thing before it went any further.  I’m free and clear thanks to his work on my case.  He is very, very good at what he does, and I’m so grateful for Kyle. He was extremely diligent and attentive. I can’t say enough great things about his service or his character.“

” If you’ve ever been in a position (in a legal manner) that feels hopeless, this is the place for you! I know it sounds cliche but a year ago I was arrested on a charge I didn’t commit. At the time, my wife bailed me out and we started looking for a lawyer to help us. The problem was every place we went to either was way overpriced or didn’t feel trustworthy, and we looked for a long time. Then we found The Law Office of Kyle Watkins and he helped us out. Kyle not only listened and came up with a plan of action, but also didn’t overcharge us. He stayed in touch with us every step of the way and always informed us of everything that was happening in a comprehensive way! I will forever be grateful for everything he did for us and the relief of knowing he was there working on the case was immense. I know this is long and a bit of a tangent, but he helped us in a fairly dark time, and I cannot understate how good it feels to know you’re in good hands! Coming to his office was one of the best decisions we made and it can be for you too. .” 2/11/18
