Missy - "I would highly recommend this attorney. He helped my father after the unexpected loss of my mother with some very difficult financial problems with credit card companies. Don't know what we would have done without John and Randi." 

Amanda - "When I pulled my credit report a few months ago I found a credit card I had no knowledge of this card until I looked at my report! I was so sick over this! I was served papers at my home that the company was suing me for this large amount of money that was charged to this credit card. I had no clue what to do so I called John Watts. I had heard how great of an attorney he was and my case was something he had great expertise in. I am so thrilled he won my case and had the bad the credit report removed from my credit history! THANKS JOHN!" 

Debt Collection Victim - "Upon entering their office during the Christmas holidays of 2009, I was an emotional wreck. With much worry about loosing our house, being harrassed by a debt collector, the guilt and shame had just about consumed me. Had dealt with this for 2 years on my own. Had previously used another attorney 2 1/2 yrs ago who took my money and suggested I sell my house. I did not trust attorneys after that and decided self reprensentation was the way to go. This decision was corrected by hiring Mr Watts. What a blessing John, Stan, Randi and Heather have been to me! I was despondant and they gave me hope, told me my rights, showed compassion, (handed me Kleenex) :),,kept me informed at all times and was always available just a phone call away. I had felt emotionally beaten and bruised when I entered their office. Now, their knowledge has empowered me, the fear and harrassement is gone and the case settled. I am so thankful to God for them! This is not just your typical law office,,,in my opinion, they are in a wonderful ministry that is so needed and appreciated! They continue to keep me informed via emails and I share this info. They are the BEST!"

Dale - "I hired Mr, John Watts back in Febuary of this year for a creditor calling for someone on my cell phone harrassing me.I was not the person they we're looking for but they keep calling over and over again.Mr. Watts and Heather are the best in the business,they sued and I got my settlement check today.05/14/2010.If you need and Attorney I will advise you to hire John Watts and Heather a.s.a.p. They work so hard for me and stayed in touch all along.Thanks you so much Mr. Watts and Heather,you are the best."

Brenda - "Thank you for helping me and always being there through my time of need.I will always know that you are just a phone call away. You are an angel in disguise and this goes for Randi also. Thanks again and GOD BLESS YOU."

Michael - "I called Mr. Watts after I started recieving calles 2-3 times a day from a collector for a debt I did not owe. he helped me through this and was my advocate during the prosses even though I was 800 miles away from him. i felt like he still gave me the same service as if I was walking into his office and doing buesness face to face since then he has helped my wife and myself on another case where a debt collector was calling me about a debt that was not even mine. Mr. Watts and his staff Randi Curb and Heather Clowdus did an outstanding job. Thank you Watts law Group"

Franklin - "Mr. Watts has successfully represented me in over seven cases against abusive debt collectors. I fully recommend Mr. Watts and his team."

Jason - "John Watts and his staff assisted me with TCPA, FDCPA, and Third Party Contact Claims against debt collectors.   Debt Collectors were contacting my parents, calling me at work, and calling my daughters cell phone for a debt the collectors had been made aware was fraudulant. It had gotten to the point that my wife, and I spent more time arguing over debt collectors calling then we did enjoying the small amount of time we have together.  

Then we found Watts Law Group. John Watts and his staff explained Debt Collectors can't call my parents, or my daughter, except to find location information, and they can only do that IF they don't already have my location.  

However, debt collectors are constantly breakly the law because only 1 out of every 100 people actually call them on it, and pursue legal action.

John Watts, and his staff have helped me put an end to embarrassing collection calls to my parents home, and my daughters cell phone. I can't thank them enough for the help they have given me in not only stopping the calls, but clearly up the false reporting on my credit.

I consider John Watts to be one of the best consumer litigation attorneys out there."

John - "John was very helpful to me in defending me in a law suit brought by a junk debt buyer. I even received a cash settlement because of the collections agencies failure to follow the law - Thanks to John and Stan for all their help!"

Sheletha - "I had a situation where a debt collector called my home and left voice messages saying I needed to call them to settle a debt. I did not owe this collector nor did I ever had dealings with them but they continued harassing me with phone calls which totally stress me out. My husband got in touch with John Watts and explained the situation to him. John informed him that my rights were violating. John's assistant Heather contacted me and carefully explained what we had to do to get this debt collector off our back. John and his associates are very helpful, hardworking, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. To make a long story short John Watts and his staff  got done what I needed to get done. The debt collectors do not call my home anymore . After working with John Watts and Heather I consider them not only lawyers but dear friends."

Lillie - "I have never felt so hopeful about any situation in my life, although I had never been in a situation like losing my home. I would not have wanted to go through my situation with any other law firm other John Watts and his wonderful staff. They were caring, understanding, knowledgeable, compassionate and and extremely resourceful in our time of fear and distress. I recommend this team of A class lawyers to anyone world wide looking for qualified lawyers. They worked with us financially, mentally,and emotionally and we will be forever grateful regardless of the outcome."

Heather - "John Watts assisted me with violations of the TCPA & FDCPA due to identity theft issues. When John and I sat down, and began reviewing my information he took each situation we were dealing with, and explained it to me in detail. He also provided me with reports, and links to videos on each topic to better educate me. John really goes the extra mile to educate his clients on their case.  

John also assisted me in disputing the discrepancies on my credit reports. 
  
John Watts is not only one of the best consumer attorneys in Birmingham, he also runs a different kind of firm. John tries to work with his clients to be there for them even after normal business hours, and I do not know a lot firms that do that. 

John has been a blessing to our family."

General Legal Issues - "John has a way of explaining legal matters that removes the mystery and intimidation that I would normally feel. I have watched his videos and listened to his teleseminars on various consumer law topics and he has a way of simplifying the law into useful information for those of us who aren't lawyers but who need guidance. When I had questions about Power of Attorney and Living Wills, etc. to help with my aging mother, he took the time to explain things so clearly and point me in the right direction even though that is not the area of law he practices. I think he is truly what lawyers/attorneys were called long ago - "counselor". He explains options, provides guidance and is honest about his ability to help or not. His relaxed and easy manner along with his knowledge puts you immediately at ease in what can otherwise be a very stressful situation."

Reuben - "I came to John and Stan's office in October, 2006 with a box load of information regarding my dealings with credit reporting issues. After reviewing the files John and Stan filed a Federal Lawsuit with 6 defendants. They kept in touch by email, calling me directly when I asked for updates or when necessary. It took 3 years (remember we had 6 defendants) from start to finish but they were always on top of things whenever I asked. They gave me back my credit life! I recommend them highly and would not ever think of using anyone else."

Robert -  "I am one of those that thought I could never stand a chance against the unlawful actions of the biggest violators of law in America. I was just a "consumer" which by corporate definition is a "nobody" that no one cares about.  Talk about being wrong!!! 

John and Randi saved my bacon, and the bacon i needed to provide for my family from a very large and obviously well monied collection agency. 

I will continue to use him, and consider he and his firm friends because I know he is doing this for the good of people he cares about and not to line his pockets with green."

Anna - "When a debt collector called my employer(I work in child care) and told my boss that I had commited a felony and that she should run a records check on me, it was devestating. I was afraid, not only of losing my job, but a beloved career. I went online to a site with lawyers from all over Alabama and asked if what the collector had done was legal. Within fifteen minutes I was contacted by Watt's office, informed of my rights, and offered representation. All of the members of his staff were curteous, knowledgeable, and dedicated. My case was settled quickly, and I never felt like I was being kept out of the loop. Not only was his handling of my case outstanding, but since the settlement I have continued to recieve e-mail newsletters on different legal and financial issues. These are free of charge, and seem to me to be a great public service, especially now that so many are experiencing financial hardships. If you have any legal questions, or have an inkling that you have been done wrong CALL THIS MAN!!!!"

Donna - "John is very knowledgeable of the matters he handles. He has not only represented me but he maintains an open line of communication with his clients. I feel comfortable calling him to ask for advice. I would definitely use him again if the need arises."

Terry - "Hello, my name is Terry Morgan. I just won my case with John Watts and Stan Herring.

I found myself being sued by a creditor that said they owned the debt that I'd never heard of and never dealt with. I was searching for some help and I came across their website, probably just like you're doing now. I thought at first that it was a gimmick or whatever. I had to try something, so I tried.

I can recommend these people more than anything. They come in, tell you what your options are, tell you what your rights are, what the laws are, and how the laws pertain to you. They walk you through what you'll experience in court. They tell you what to expect about whether there will be witnesses and what's going to happen with the opposing attorney, the judge and all that.

They just make you feel right at home and comfortable. It's just like your next-door neighbor when you're talking to them. I highly recommend them.

I hope everything works out for you, just like it has for me. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Thank you."

Tim - "Hello, my name is Tim Barnes. Several months ago, I was sued by someone I've never heard of. I didn't know who they were. I was very nervous and scared.

I called John Watts. I went to his office, spoke to him, and he explained what I needed to do. He went to court with me. We won our case. I was extremely happy.

Since that time, I've had several other questions. I've called and they've been always very helpful, talked to me, and explained everything I needed to do and what not to do. If you have any kind of problems, I'd recommend getting in touch with John Watts." 

Deanna - "Hi, my name is Deanna. I have recently been involved in a dispute with another company that was actually suing me for some funds that I never knew about.

I have gotten in contact with John and Stan here. They helped me so much. They gave me so much information so I can make sure that doesn't happen again, and I can do some preventive maintenance.

Also, I put the account in their hands and they took care of everything. I was contacted on when to be in contact with them so we could get the dispute taken care of. I won my case. Yay! Everything is great.

You learn so much dealing with these guys. They teach you how to be a better consumer. It's a great experience. They were wonderful. We won our case. They have a great history of that. You should definitely try them out. They definitely help you in the best light and keep you happy."

Tanisha - "Hello, my name is Tanisha. I had a legal issue occur and I didn't know what to go or which direction to turn.

I went on the internet and located Watts Law Group. I called and they were very efficient. They called me back within 24 hours. I came down from Gadsden and within 48 hours, they were discussing my legal issue with me.

They made me feel very comfortable. Any questions that I had, they answered. They were very concerned with my happiness and how I was feeling about my whole case. They were available for me 24 hours whenever I needed Randy or John.

I would recommend Watts Law Group to anyone that has legal issues, or if a matter comes up and you need some legal advice on what to do. Please contact Watts Law Group in Birmingham, Alabama. They were helpful with me and my case. They handled my case very efficiently, and I just appreciate and love them. Thank you."

John - "My name is John Angwin. Several weeks ago my wife, found Mr. John Watts. She called and talked to him. He sounded very receptive.

A couple of weeks ago I came in and met with one of his assistants, Randy Kerr. She was fantastic. When I came in, I didn't know if there would be light at the end of the tunnel. That afternoon when I left, I knew that there was light at the end of the tunnel.

This morning, the two companies that were suing me were defeated by Mr. John Watts. I'm happy. He's a super guy, and they have a super team here. All you have to do is pick up the phone and make a call. Thank you."

Mitch and Sheletha - "I am Shaletha. I had an experience with a collection agency calling my house. I informed my husband that a collection agency was calling the house. I wasn't aware of that particular collection agency.

He told me that he was familiar with a lawyer by the name of John Watts and Associates. He said he would explain the situation that he was being harassed by a collection agency that kept calling the house. He got with John and talked

I wasn't aware of our rights, or that we had rights for a collection agency just calling the house or whatever. I informed my husband. He said he was going to get with John Watts and Associates and let him know the situation.

I talked with his associate, Heather, and I explained to her in detail the situation of how they were calling. She stated to me to do whatever needed to be done. Therefore I ended up with my husband.

Mitch: The collectors were calling. Most of the time, they called and left voicemails. I think during that week I got a newsletter from John Watts where he explained the rights for collectors calling the home.

When my wife informed me that we were getting those calls, I suggested that we give John Watts a call and explain the situation. He had us in contact with his assistant, Heather. She explained some of the rights and told us the rights that we have.

After I gave her all the information that they needed on the collectors, they handed it over to John and his associates. They were able to stop the collection calls. That really relieved the stress off of our family.

I recommend John Watts not just for this type of situation that we experienced, but any other situation. From my experience dealing with John, if he's not able to work with you on handing your situation, he will quickly recommend someone else he knows.

I would recommend John Watts and associates for any situation that you're going through. I don't consider him just an attorney. He's just a dear friend. Thank you."

Joseph - "My name is Joseph Walker. I'm a minister and a friend of the folks at Watts Law Group. They have been very instrumental in helping me and my family deal with some very difficult financial issues.

The foreclosure seminar that I attended had a wealth of information. I highly recommend it for anybody who is perhaps facing the possibility of foreclosure, or has friends and relatives they know who are faced with that possibility. I think they can learn a lot, and also have options explained to them that would help them make the right decisions for their situation.

I highly recommend our friends John Watts and Randy Curb at the Watts Law Group."

Debt Settlement Client - "I'm here today to share with you my experience. I had an old debt that needed to be taken care of. I went on the internet and googled a couple of lawyers. Somehow Stan and John came up. I don't remember the process of how I chose them, but I know that I was very happy with the outcome.

I felt very comfortable. I spoke with Randi. She was very informative. Everyone was very informative about the process and trying to get through it. It was very stressful to me, as it would be to anyone with people calling you and asking for money.

Randi and the lawyers here helped me get through that. On one particular debt, we got smaller payments. Everything just worked out well. I'm very excited to be past all of that and just getting it taken care of.

That's about it. I am very pleased. Thank you." 

Farah - "Hi, my name is Farah. Last year I was treated unfairly by a debt collector. I was feeling a lot of anxiety and was uncomfortable with the situation. I felt like I was pushed against the wall.

I got hold of John. He reassured me that we could find a way to take care of the situation. He has. I am a very happy person and have knowledge now as to what goes along with debt collectors and how to take care of the situation."
